The US travel sector and the role of digital platforms

Ask ten people what traveling the US looks like to them, and you’ll no doubt get ten different answers. It’s hiking in Yosemite, route 66 in a Cadillac, sundrenched Florida, pizza in NYC, and much, much more. It’s the boundless options that make the US one of the world’s top tourist destinations.

Canary Technologies' Survey Finds Wide Discrepancies In National Hotel Tipping Habits

Canary Technologies, a leading hotel guest management system, conducted a survey of 1,000 recent hotel guests and 300 hotel workers to uncover guest tipping behavior in hotels. While tipping in the service industry is a well-established American custom and an essential part of worker wages, tipping in the hotel industry lacks transparency. The survey results show that tipping in hotels is less prevalent than other service industries. partly due to friction in the current tipping process.

Canadian Brands Join World Class Innovators to Showcase Next-Gen Hospitality Tech at HITEC 2023 in Toronto

Suppose I asked you to conjure up an image of a ‘tech hub.’ In that case, I imagine your mind might place you in the streets of Silicon Valley, rife with sprawling university-like tech campuses and unicorn start-ups causing a stir amongst technologists, investors, and consumers. Perhaps, your mind may jump to other global leaders in tech, such as London, UK, Beijing, New York City, or even Tel Aviv – but would Canada make that list? It certainly should.

Are humanless hotels the future of hospitality?

The reality is much more complex than black and white. There are already many humanless hotels (mostly in Asia). So there will be: - regional differences in approach to human vs machine balance - variations between different segments (short-term rentals adopted self-service from the get go, many limited service hotel properties followed, but we won't expect to see if in the luxury segment any time soon, maybe never) It will be a spectrum.
