Agentic AI and Hotel PMS: Brace Yourself for a Positive Impact

The business community has welcomed artificial intelligence as a key means of adapting to today’s changing workforce and recommending actions based on data analytics; however, according to experts, the hotel industry has yet to leverage it fully. A recent study by McKinsey found that as many as 78 percent of respondents say their organizations use AI in at least one business function, a 6-percentage-point increase from 2024. With so many core processes now informed by AI, hoteliers must bring these capabilities into the heart of their operations: the property-management system.

Five Common Myths of Hotel Revenue Management

Despite its critical role in hotel profitability, revenue management remains one of the most misunderstood functions in hospitality.

In reality, it is a strategic, creative discipline that can unlock significant value across all types of hotels and operations.

Digital intelligence - a catalyst for African growth

Africa’s transformation story is often centred around infrastructure. Cables, towers, devices, datacentres.

If I had to explain why this is to a kid or a golden retriever, I would say it’s because we used the best tools at our disposal at the time, stitching things together as best we could over years or even decades, and then tried to continuously pivot to newer, better systems while keeping the engine running.

Hospitality is not an island

For a long time, accommodation, which evolved into hospitality, was a key component of the travel chain. It was an essential link, certainly, but it came at the end of the transportation chain and served as the starting point for the chain of tourist or business activities. This travel chain created – and still creates – a variety of ecosystems with their specialized actors: transport providers, accommodation providers, receptive agencies, leisure sites, restaurants... Solid by nature, yet often rivals, even antagonistic, when it comes to sharing the value chain.
