On Thurs. June 7 at 12 p.m. ET, Samsung will be hosting a webinar to discuss disruptors in the hospitality industry.

Technology has changed consumers’ expectations for hospitality experiences perhaps more than any other industry. Restaurants and hotels are now expected to immerse their patrons in an experience while still providing an enjoyable service. Disruptors like AirBnb and food delivery apps have changed the way people travel and dine, leaving established hospitality companies searching for new ways to hold on to their market share.

Vingcard says its first MENA wallet keys skip the hotel app

Vingcard says its first MENA wallet keys skip the hotel app

Vingcard and Hudini have put app-free wallet room keys into three Orascom Hotels Management resorts in El Gouna, Egypt, covering about 500 rooms. Vingcard calls it the first such rollout in the Middle East and North Africa. The real work happens behind the tap. Room changes, late checkouts and front-desk check-ins all have to reach the door locks.

  • 01A wallet key earns its keep on the stay that goes off-script: El Gouna wired guest wallets, door locks, the property management system and check-in together so room changes, late departures and mid-stay requests don't push guests back to plastic cards.
  • 02Offering two ways to get a key, online pre-arrival check-in through a web app and a staff-generated QR code at the desk, keeps wallet keys open to guests who never check in online.
  • 03Watch where Orascom goes next. The group runs 34 hotels in four countries, and the El Gouna rollout so far covers 500+ guestrooms at three resorts.

Business travel is filling weeknight hotel rooms heading into 2027

Business travel is filling weeknight hotel rooms heading into 2027

Third-quarter 2026 earnings calls from Hilton, Hyatt and other hotel companies show business trips and meetings driving hotel growth, with weeknights especially strong. Hilton raised its full-year 2026 systemwide RevPAR forecast to 4%-4.5%. Strong midweek demand lets some hotels close discounted negotiated rates, a cost issue for anyone buying 2027 room programs.

  • 01On compression nights, some hotels are moving rooms out of discounted negotiated corporate contracts and into retail rates, so a falling negotiated-rate share can signal strong demand, not weak demand.
  • 02Corporate meeting demand is the fastest-growing piece of the group business: Hyatt puts its 2027 corporate group pace up almost 10%, and DiamondRock's group rates run more than 25% above 2019.
  • 03For planners with flexible dates, DiamondRock said Q1 2027 has the most room for additional group bookings, while its group pace is strongest in Q2 and Q3 2027 (and Q4 2026).

US solo travel plans jump to 23.6% in SiteMinder's 2027 guest survey

US solo travel plans jump to 23.6% in SiteMinder's 2027 guest survey

SiteMinder's Changing Traveler Report 2027 says 23.6% of US travelers plan their next trip solo, up from 14.4%. Globally, solo travelers skew toward standard rooms and last-minute booking, while US travelers overall report higher Deluxe expectations and stronger brand and loyalty pull. Hotels setting 2027 rate plans may need to test single-occupancy pricing and upgrade offers against their own booking data.

  • 01Nearly one in four US travelers (23.6%) plan to take their next trip alone, up from 14.4%, a 9.2-point swing that belongs in 2027 rate-plan and room-mix reviews.
  • 02Solo travelers worldwide choose a standard room 55% of the time, while 25.1% of American guests expect a Deluxe room; which habit US solo guests follow is the open question for single-occupancy pricing.
  • 03Loyalty still sways American chain guests (42.9% cite program benefits) even as that reason fell to 30.8% globally and memorable experiences climbed to 39.7%, so US loyalty playbooks may not travel abroad.
