Tech-Laden Hotels Call for Modern Disaster Plans - 0 views

  •  
    I found an old article on Physical Plant and preparation for Y2K! The claimed that high tech hotels needed to check their flash light batteries, first floor grounding of elevators, back up generators and fuel tanks. Besides the fact that this is written for doomsday Y2K they have a valid point to have a disaster plan if an earthquake, hurricane or any disaster takes the hotel off line. Loss of power is a real threat especially in hurricane Miami. We need to know that data will be backed up, rooms can be accessed, and that people will not remain stuck in an elevator. Please read below With hotel systems growing ever-more tech-dependent, disaster planning extends well beyond protecting data. Proaction Better Than Reaction Computer Systems Demand Special Attention Just outside California's state capital, the Sheraton Sacramento Rancho Cordova Hotel is a magnet for business travelers in the high-tech and government sectors.

The Technology That Changed Air Travel - The Startup - Medium - 0 views

  • After CRS systems became commonplace, travel agents became the airline industry’s bottleneck.

  • As the middleman, the GDS charged airlines and travel agents a fee for each booking.
  • CRS systems started sharing data with one another,
  • Global Distribution Services (GDS)
  • These terminals would only be useful if they let agents search for flights from multiple airlines all together.
  • Their goal is to charge each customer the most they’d be willing to pay.
  • The solution is to have seats at many different price points.
  • To maximise revenue, airlines optimise fare class sizes and prices by analysing historical trends.
  • different Google searches often yield different fares for the same seat on the same flight
  • only travel agencies that have been accredited by the IATA (International Air Transport Authority) can use them, and accreditation is an arduous process riddled with acronyms.

    GDS changed the way airlines book flights. The process went from 90 minutes to a few seconds. GDS allowed agents to search for flights from multiple airlines.

  • Accor Hotels offers guests personalized upgrades based on previous guest behavior at a price that the guest has shown a demonstrated “willingness to pay” at booking and during the pre-arrival period, up to 24 hours before check-in.
  • The algorithms are used to create assessments to test candidates for hire against the personas using gamification-based tools, according to The People Space.
  • ML technology can create offers at any point during the guest pathway, including the front desk. Rather than replacing agents as some hotels fear, it helps them make better, quicker decisions about what to offer guests.
  •  
    The machine learning for hotel properties is dynamic and constantly evolving. Beyond the common uses of Artificial Intelligence such as robotic housekeepers and facial recognition, hotels can deploy machine plearning in different areas such as systems that optimize the use of energy, water and other resources; human resource management such as the one used by IHG; and customer service.
