Dear reader! Let's embark on a brief journey:
The Metaverse doesn't start and end with web3. There are Metaverses such as VRChat, AltSpace, Mozilla Hubs that run on VR, are centered around events and community, have a big recurring user base.
From my perspective, companies don't need to be fluent in Metaverse lingo but to understand the utility that they can bring from the Metaverse, the "use case" that better works for each business.
Moving into 2023, the hospitality industry continues to advance in guest-facing as well as back-office technology, allowing hotel owners and management groups the ability to increase revenue, lower labor costs, and streamline accounting functions, all while realigning resources to improve the guest experience. Some trends have been around for a while and continue to advance, such as cloud-based platforms, while there are others in the hospitality industry taking steps toward smart hotels and artificial intelligence. Over the course of 2023, you will see the industry shift to a level of progressiveness that we’ve never seen before by using more automation and contactless options as we build the bridge between the digital and physical worlds.
