As the summer season comes to a close and people return from their holidays, we start to catch up on missed news, updated developments, and industry growth. In fact, a lot has happened in hotel tech over the summer.
Cloud computing is slowly but surely making its way into hospitality, and savvy hotels are using it to get a clearer idea of their customers and their businesses. Hotels like Yotel and Virgin Hotels are interesting examples of a new “disruptive” set of hotels. Plus, you don’t need to be an expert to get a better handle on Google Analytics for hotels, or even your data in general.
All this and much more in this month’s edition of our monthly news round up. Hope you enjoy.
