Accelerating Digital Transformation in Hospitality
NKUHT reshapes the Hotel via Smart Hotel Solutions
COVID-19 has affected every industry across the globe, and the hotel industry is among the hardest hit.

But for those hotels utilizing technologies to offer travelers, a customer-centric and personalization service may be the future solution.

Customer Challenges
Not only the crisis of COVID-19 is still uncertain, but the labor shortage is another critical issue for the hospitality industry. To survive and thrive through the pandemic, the hotel owners must overcome the challenge of " Occupancy Rate ". And improving customer experience may be the key to this challenge.
Also, the shortage of workers threatens the hospitality industry's recovery. The Washington Post revealed that employment in the sector is down by 8.7 percent since February 2020. Due to this situation, guests may take a longer time to check-in and wait for customer service.
