Doug Gaccione, Executive Vice President, Global Sales & Marketing at Switchfly states that "As we look at how hotel brands are innovating today, we can already see where the industry is headed: more operators are optimizing their booking engines, apps and websites for each user and strengthening brand loyalty through more personalized guest experiences. By leveraging guests’ smartphones for more self-service, convenience and comfort, hotels can be much more proactive and forward-looking in preparing for their guests’ digital expectations."
