Using Technology to Elevate Hospitality

The hospitality industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by the rising expectation for hyper-effortless, personalized guest experiences. Across industries, research from McKinsey shows that 71 percent of consumers expect companies to deliver personalized interactions—raising the bar for service excellence in every sector, including hospitality. As hotels, casinos, and resorts race to meet evolving demands, technology is proving to be the critical differentiator for guest loyalty, operational efficiency, and revenue growth.

In an increasingly competitive landscape, the essential question becomes: How can technology be better leveraged to not just “wow” guests, but truly improve loyalty, operational outcomes, and long-term profitability in hospitality?

In this episode of Pro AV Today, host Ben Thomas is joined by hospitality executive Radley Medina to explore how technology is revolutionizing the guest experience. They dive into how psychographic segmentation, connected ecosystems, and future-ready infrastructure are reshaping the way hospitality businesses operate and succeed.

The main topics of conversation…

• Why psychographic guest segmentation is replacing traditional demographics and how it drives deeper loyalty.
• How frictionless, personalized, and interconnected technology creates seamless guest experiences across entire resort ecosystems.
• What infrastructure and open-system strategies operators need today to stay flexible and competitive tomorrow.
