FHT París 2025: optimización entre bastidores, excepcionalidad en primera línea

🏨 At FHT Paris 2025, industry leaders discussed the digital transformation in hotel operations. The event addressed operational and strategic implications, highlighting digital tools' importance for efficiency and survival. Key points included back-office digitization, real-time operations with mobile apps and sensors, and data-driven guest personalization. France's move to eliminate paper invoices by September 2026 underscores the urgency of digital adoption. Tools like GRI™ from Reviewpro turn guest feedback into actionable insights, with a Cornell University study showing a 1-point GRI increase correlates with a 0.89% rise in ADR and 0.54% in occupancy. Digital transformation also supports sustainability, with 68% of travelers seeking eco-friendly hotels. Groupe Madeho's Clé Verte certification exemplifies the synergy of human commitment and digital infrastructure in achieving eco-goals. The session concluded that digital transformation success depends on a culture of continuous improvement, not just the acquisition of tools.
