  • It's about time. Our ever-shrinking world is abuzz with activity attempting to address the manmade rise of greenhouse gases. Eco-visionary James Lovelock published a radical idea in Nature to increase ocean uptake of CO2 through giant ocean tubes. New Zealand has kicked off an ambitious plan to get 90% of its energy from renewable sources by 2025. JC Penney, Office Depot and Kohl's have announced green building plans. In May, General Electric said it had doubled sales from environmentally friendly products, to $12 billion over, in two years .

    I completely agree. More and more companies are turning to Eco-friendly operations, especially since this is a global trend nowadays. It is greatly beneficial to our environment and technology will always keep advancing into that direction. The best example is the USB 3.0 ports mentioned in the article. Companies are striving to have the cutting-edge not only in their going-green emphasis, but also toward their competitors.

hospitality security issues

shared by armanyleblanc767 on 17 Feb 23 - No Cached
  • Unauthorized visitors pose a threat to hospitality security because they’re hard to track and because their intentions can be unclear
  • According to a study published in the Harvard Business Review, up to 90% of women and 70% of men working in the restaurant industry had experienced some form of sexual harassment.
  • A lot of people working in the sector simply don’t feel secure, especially when they’re required to work alone or in isolated areas.

  • Small businesses are often at increased risk, with around 36% of attacks aimed at enterprises with fewer than 250 employees.
  • Promoting credit card sales over cash transactions Carrying out background checks on prospective staff Reducing employee turnover Installing CCTV monitoring systems
  • One solution to improving employee safety and boosting security in the hospitality industry is a wearable panic button system.

    This article includes 5 security risks (including technology related and not) common in the hospitality industry, as well as some specific examples and ways to avoid those issues. It was written in July of 2022 and as a result is likely relevant today. Although not all of the security issues are technology related, I posted this article because I believe that all of them can at least be addressed by incorporating technology. For example, unauthorized visitors can be addressed through increased camera and scanning technology to identify visitors that may have poor intentions entering the premises.

  • The first step towards reducing e-waste is increasing consumer education
  • Another crucial step is improving the design of electronic devices to be more sustainable.
  • more aesthetically pleasing than before. Often, these shortcuts make devices harder to recycle at the end of their lives.
  • Local infrastructure needs to be improved to help consumers easily recycle electronic goods instead of hoarding or unsafely discarding them
  • . Designers must figure out how to create products that are both beautiful and can endure far longer
  • E-waste is a growing problem that requires immediate attention from stakeholders worldwide.

    The article "the pernicious side of electronics: the growing problem of e-waste," discusses e-waste and what we can do as a community to eliminate the issue. E-waste produces tonnes of toxic waste each year and it was predicted that within the last year around 2.13 billion PCS, tables, and cellphones were shipped worldwide. To eliminate this issue moving forward we must increase education on the harmful impacts of e-waste, improve designs for more sustainable electronic devices, and upgrade infrastructure where the consumer is able to recycle electronic goods safely.

  • using artificial intelligence for hotels is “not just a matter of gaining a competitive advantage; it’s imperative in order to stay in business.
  • “94% (of C-level executives) reported that artificial intelligence would ‘substantially transform’ their companies within five years
  • 49% of survey respondents say that the hotel industry ranks right in the middle at a grade of “C” for artificial intelligence implementation
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Hyperdynamic pricing allows booking engines to automatically search social media, past user data, and even world news to display rates that maximize earning potential.
  • Improve revenue management and help save the environment with energy, water, and waste-monitoring tools.
  • Chatbot translators can quickly identify languages used by website visitors based on their location. They can also translate scripts on the fly and manage simultaneous guest inquiries from all over the world
  • AI is already changing the guest experience across the travel lifecycle, including the on-property experience
  • Artificial intelligence is used in the hotel industry for revenue management, guest experience, and the automation of daily operations.
  • Hotels such as the Radisson Blu Edwardian in London and Manchester use artificial intelligence concierges to check guests in or out, order room service, and answer questions 24/7
  • Consider chatbots for your hotel if you’d like to create consistent guest experiences and free up time for front desk staff to provide the best possible service for guests who are physically present. 
  • Cvent Passkey for Hoteliers uses smart technology to maximize the sales potential of existing business, improve the booking experience, and seamlessly organize all related departments.
  • Machine learning (a subset of AI) makes it easy to automatically collect, store, and analyze data from across a variety of online sources. 
  • "Wow" event planners with products such as Cvent Event Diagramming — an intuitive tool used to create 3D diagrams of event spaces.
  • Hilton and IBM teamed up to create Connie (named after Conrad Hilton), the first in-person customer service robot for hotels. The AI model can learn from guests and adapt over time while answering questions, fulfilling simple booking tasks, and improving its own speech over time. 
  • Hospitality recruiters are using machine learning to hire hotel employees in ways that go beyond the outdated resume model. Using personality profiles of existing team members and gamification-based tests, IHG and other top hotel brands have recruited thousands of employees. 
  • Keep an eye out for the tools, gadgets, and platforms that aren’t available now but are set to create a noticeable impact on the industry
  • Look out for passports with guest health information built in so medical professionals on or offsite can quickly access information such as their medical history, current medications, and allergies in an emergency.  Stay tuned for star ratings for hotel guests so properties can see information about their past stays. Look forward to robots as support staff to help ease the burden of late-night shifts and the effects of a high turnover industry. 
  • While AI robot concierges, room service delivery, and cleaning machines have the potential to replace 25% of today’s hospitality workforce, experiments such as Henn na Hotel in Japan

    This article mainly describes the current main trends of artificial intelligence in revenue management, guest experience, and daily operations. AI's concierge service, chat robot translator, ultra-dynamic pricing, forecasting utility, team booking software review data collection, intelligent function charts, and intelligent recruitment are the main manifestations of future technological development. Through these artificial intelligence, the hotel can simplify some service procedures, provide more personalized and improve the guest's staying experience. But at the same time, we must also realize that intelligent technology cannot completely replace employees.

  • QR (Quick Response) codesWiFi (Wireless Fidelity)NFC (Near Field Communication)RFID (Radio-frequency identification)GeofencingBLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacons
  • Besides the end-users mobile device, a collection of location-based technologies (LBS) is needed to successfully utilize proximity marketing.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The downside to using the QR code strategy is getting users to make the initial interaction and additional print material may be necessary. 
  • Businesses can utilize their free WiFi offering as a new channel for marketing directly to customers.
  • NFC tag uses don’t stop at the point of sale system, in fact, the knowledge gained from each purchase and interaction further improves the insights businesses have, meaning over time, customer segmentation and messaging become more focussed.
  • The definition of geofencing in proximity marketing is defined as the ability of a company to micro-target people based on the places they go.
  • For example, a sportswear brand may want to target those at a sports event and so will draw their geometric radius around the venue of the event. Patrons that attend with their devices ‘location-enabled sensors’ settings turned on are allowing their GPS to share their location data with their service provider (SP).
  • The convenience store chain attached BLE beacons to trolleys, and baskets to track customer movements when entering, leaving, and moving around its stores. With the movable and planted roof beacons in place, Nisa was able to accurately collect a large pool of geometric insights that fed into one central cloud for further analysis. From these gatherings, Nisa will have been able to understand customer dwell times and see which product aisles were most popular.
  • Geo-loyalty is a method of utilizing proximity marketing methods to boost customer loyalty and drive app usage for higher conversion and engagement rates.

    This article is about Proximity Marketing and the many different specific ways it may be applied. These applications include: QR Codes, WiFi, NFC, RFID, Geofencing, and BLE Beacons. In all of these cases, it is vital to proximity marketing that there be an end-user mobile device (such as an iPhone or Android) as well as location-based technologies. We are all fairly familiar with QR codes as those have become widely used during the pandemic. What we may not have considered though, is how logging into a WiFi gives a lot of information about you to the business, as well as a future means of communicating with you (assuming you made an account and/or gave them important information such as an email address). Geofencing is also really cool because it allows companies to set up a virtual boundary that collects data from mobile devices that pass through that boundary. This allows a business to truly know what kinds of consumers go in and out of whatever establishment the geofence outlines.
