Exciting insights from our pop-up interview with Scott Pusillo of Sabre Hospitality at The Hospitality Show! Scott shared his perspective on navigating the evolving hospitality landscape and the pivotal role of technology in reshaping guest experiences. He emphasized that we’re only in the first chapter of AI’s transformative potential - taking “little bites of the apple” to build efficiencies in guest services and streamline operations. Scott also addressed the fragmentation of technology in hospitality, underscoring the importance of a stable core CRS and PMS as the foundation for successful integration. His advice for hoteliers? Think beyond the room. True differentiation, loyalty, and revenue growth come from selling experiences, not just rooms. 👏 #hospitality #AI #guestexperience #technology #future
