What is Hotels & Accommodation?
Hotels & Accommodation technology covers the full spectrum of hospitality operations — from Property Management Systems (PMS) that run hotel operations to Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) that drive bookings to Revenue Management Systems (RMS) that optimise room pricing. India is a hospitality tech powerhouse — OYO Rooms revolutionised budget accommodation with technology, standardising 100,000+ properties globally. Treebo and FabHotels apply similar tech to branded budget stays. Major hotel chains (Taj, Oberoi, ITC, Lemon Tree) run enterprise PMS platforms for luxury operations. The tech challenge is fascinating: hotels sell the same room across 20+ channels (Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Agoda, direct website), must manage real-time inventory to avoid overbooking, and use ML to dynamically price rooms based on demand, events, seasonality, and competitor pricing.
