Hotels Must Prioritize Data Integration, Cloud Infrastructure, and Standardization for Successful AI Adoption in Operations

💻 Hotels should begin AI adoption by assessing system integration, cloud readiness, and data standardization to ensure smooth implementation. Prioritize the biggest operational friction, like lead response or cleanliness, and run AI in shadow mode initially for trust-building.
