Abstract

Background: The hospitality market is rapidly transforming with new data analytics frameworks. Higher customer expectations, increased competition, and efficiencies are creating pathways toward strategies that promote service quality and customer satisfaction. Significance: Data analytics at all operational levels fosters innovation, enhances service quality, and allows the hospitality industry to practice ethical, data-driven decision-making to achieve future sustainable growth. Methods: The qualitative study of this research focuses on trends and case studies in the current hospitality landscape to evaluate data analytics frameworks and utilize AI intelligent technologies, predictive modeling, sentiment analysis, and automated decision-support systems. We also evaluate the future state of collecting multiple data streams, ethical considerations, and standardizations when working across sectors. Results: The findings also show clearly that data analytics can promote productive performance in strategic planning, operational performance and a higher level of customer satisfaction. However, they also identified several significant barriers to its use, namely the variance in standardization from numerous data sources, limits on interoperability among systems, and very significant ethical concerns around data privacy and fairness algorithmically. Conclusion: Data analytics will be critical for the hospitality industry around future innovation, sustainability and competitiveness. To support the transition of the hospitality industry to ethical frameworks based on standards, the industry must endorse and promote a universal and adaptable analytical framework, while maintaining a customer-centric and personalization strategy around collecting data.
