      PCI is a main security threat that they face. Having a hotels cc system hacked and all their guest information stolen is an extreme nightmare. They have tasks forces that help educate hotels on how to protect and learn more about the procedures to keep that secure.
  • I can hear some of you now – what good can possibly come from creating an ‘association of associations’? Aren’t we just creating more overhead, more cost and more bureaucracy? In a word, no.
  • From my own perspective
  • I hate wasting our scarce
  • resources, and worse, wasting the resources of our members who volunteer their time to work for us

      Cyber security is almost equal to climate change in the impact on the industry. As we move into being a cashless society, keeping guests information private is integral to the continued growth of the industry.
  • Initiatives specific to distribution include the creation of standard room definitions and descriptions, guaranteeing accessible guest rooms and removing the accessible guest room from inventory when booked. HEDNA has worked on creating this vocabulary, and OpenTravel has revised its hotel schema, annotations and code list to reflect these changes.
    • vanessavioli
       
      This is an extremely important issue for the industry. Creating an industry standard vocabulary to ensure that guests with disabilities receive the specific room and accommodations they need is a game-changer. The ease of mind that it would create for those customers is priceless.
  • And our biggest strength is our commitment to work together, to eliminate redundant work or conflicting positions, to be transparent and open in our dealings with each other, and to address the most important technological needs of the hospitality industry.
    • vanessavioli
       
      With the ease of current technology, concerns about many of the bureaucratic aspects of something like this can be quickly done or even potentially eliminated.
