In a cutthroat market, to keep going - every business needs to have a competitive edge over contenders. The scenario in the Hospitality and tourism sector is nothing different, where lot of players can be seen battling for customers and for the bigger market share.

Hence, to avoid losing customers to business rivals, hotels need to stay ahead of competitors and t
