Fake reviews: can we trust what we read online as use of AI explodes? Consumer affairs If Bebot can free up 10 percent of everyone’s time at the front desk, they can use the same 10 percent to focus on high value-added services to enhance customer experiences. Founded in 2015 in Tokyo, Bespoke Inc. is dedicated to enabling amazing local experiences to hotel guests through data and artificial intelligence. Current products include Bebot, the AI concierge, and LEVART travel community. Now Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG), which ranks as one of the world’s largest hotel companies, has rolled out new artificial intelligence (AI) powered “smart rooms” at its properties in China. The stated goal, however lofty, is to improve and redefine customer hotel experience in China’s hospitality industry. Procurement is done across the entire organization, but of course, there can be different needs. So, you want to try and get volume scale benefits, but in the end, there are times you say, look, we’re not going to try and do this one-size-fits-all because they’re different needs, and that comes on a case-by-case basis. Booking is a really big company — bigger than you might think. It slowly and steadily absorbed many of its rivals over the years, starting with Priceline’s purchase of Booking.com in the mid-2000s and ramping up with big buys like Kayak for $1.8 billion in 2013. Booking has also expanded beyond flights and hotels into more parts of travel and hospitality with acquisitions like restaurant reservation platform OpenTable. But the thing is, though, I’d rather have that money on engineers to make better products. All these public affairs people, they need to eat, too. You mentioned politics, and talking about regulation versus politics, but it is election season in the United States. Right now, under the Biden administration, acquisitions are somewhat disfavored; it’s hard to get them through. The off-Strip Otonomus Hotel, located at the intersection of West Russell Road and South Decatur Boulevard, is an all-suite, apartment and hotel hybrid from developers Growth Holdings.

The receptionist robot, the «Greetinboit» is programmed to speak 30 languages, greatly increasing accessibility at the hotel. And it’s among the first announcements like it by a hotel brand. Many have said they are experimenting with AI in various ways, but that usually hasn’t included trip planning. The hotel giant plans to release the tool in the second half of the year as a feature within its One Rewards mobile app, which the company has been upgrading regularly since relaunching it almost two years ago. IHG Hotels & Resorts sees a future in helping travelers plan their entire trip, not just where to stay. According to reports, a robot that can make hot dogs is also being considered. A pilot project, called «The Hotel of the Future», launched on October 23 to present the machines to excited holiday-makers. A «J-40 Cleaning» bot is a cleaning robot capable of sweeping, mopping, wiping and carpet cleaning. The room service bot will «respect the privacy of the client», according to Visit Benidorm. The exact angle of the arm has been trialled and perfected, with the possibility of allowing the robot to be able to make other drinks by the pool. Eight cyber-helpers at The Climia Benidorm Hotel will be used for cleaning, serving and delivery services. I don’t remember the exact number — it’s over 200 countries and areas around the world. Now, we have the benefit of diversification, and since one area may not be doing as well as in other areas, you get a benefit when the other areas are doing better.

It’s an AI travel app that can help you save on flights, hotels and rental cars for life. The one other thing, though — what would be really bad for us — is if you price below the price you give to us. What’ll happen is people will use us to figure out which hotel they want, and then they’ll just click over to you and get a cheaper price. And that, in the end, we won’t then get the commission because they booked it with you, et cetera. And as people use our services, we learn more about what they really prefer. We’re able to personalize and provide better services to them so they then feel a need, a desire, to come back to us.
