1. Efficient Tech Solutions for Enhanced Operations
The conference emphasised the growing need for operational efficiency. Hoteliers stressed the significance of a comprehensive property management system that effectively handles operations while meeting guest demands. Dynamic pricing was a hot topic, optimising room rates in real-time to boost revenue. Additionally, the importance of channel management in simplifying distribution and integrating direct booking tools was emphasised.
Amidst these discussions, enhancing the staff experience emerged as a crucial theme. Hoteliers highlighted that the right technology should not replace the human touch but rather empower it. Conversations at the RMS stand consisting of streamlined operations, productivity tools for maintenance or housekeeping, and automated communication tools were identified as essential for boosting staff productivity and enhancing guest satisfaction.
Our active participation in the event was vital in showcasing our seamless solutions and latest technology to Europe. It's a testament to our commitment to driving operational success and a privilege to connect with the industry.

Sponsoring the Most Innovative Marketing Campaign at the Boutique Hotelier Awards, we were thrilled to discover the ingenious strategies being employed by brands. The 'Love is in the Air' campaign by Beaverbrook Surrey stood out, utilising visual grandeur with stationary hot air balloons in their Italian Garden and aligning with influential publications and celebrities to create a substantial digital footprint, reaching 100,000 Instagram followers.
3. Sustainability: A Concrete Commitment, Not Just a Buzzword
The demand for sustainable accommodation is here to stay, and technology is being rapidly deployed to make a positive impact. Hoteliers are adopting eco-friendly technologies such as energy-efficient systems, smart thermostats, and PMS technology. RMS Cloud showcased solutions that promote eco-friendly operations, reducing harmful waste by minimising paper usage and implementing digital keys.
4. The Power of Collaboration
Collaboration emerged as a prevailing theme at the show, signifying the industry's recognition that isolation is not the path to success.

5. AI and Chatbots: Shaping the Customer Experience
The discussions at the event underlined the significant influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Chatbot integration in shaping the future landscape for hoteliers. This advancement is revolutionising guest experiences by streamlining interactions and offering tailored services. With AI, hotels can efficiently manage customer inquiries, optimise room service requests, and deliver valuable local area information. Furthermore, this technology allows hotels to gather crucial data on guest preferences and behaviour, enabling them to enhance personalised offerings and anticipate guest needs. Consequently, hotels are providing more seamless and intuitive services, fostering heightened guest satisfaction and loyalty.
