Title overview

Technology Strategies for the Hospitality Industry is a practical guide to enhancing hospitality with technology. It examines technology strategies for various segments of the hospitality industry, from hotels and restaurants to meetings and events. Specific technologies used in hospitality are also explored, from networks and data exchange, to eCommerce for both business and consumers.
