updated on 05 November 2024

In the world of hotel technology, it’s rare to find someone who can explain complex concepts as clearly and accessibly as Ira Vouk. Her new book, Hotel Tech 101, is a valuable resource for hospitality professionals, from general managers to hotel owners, who want to understand how technology supports their business and which solutions are best to implement for higher efficiency. We at HNext are proud to be among the sponsors of this book, supporting her mission to make hotel technology approachable for all. It’s an honor to contribute to the positive evolution of hotel tech and to drive change in the industry together.

One of the book’s standout qualities is how it sheds light on the technology ecosystem that modern hotels operate within. As Lana Udalov, our CEO, highlights, her favorite part of the book is the chapter on the “Hotel Tech Ecosystem,” which dives into the importance of carefully choosing technology. When acquiring new software, it’s crucial for decision-makers to assess how well it integrates into existing processes and how it interacts with other systems. The book illustrates how to build a tech strategy that unites all these elements into an effective, interconnected ecosystem, empowering hotels to make informed decisions on tech investment

Ira Vouk presents even the most technical aspects of hotel technology in straightforward language, making the book engaging and useful for a wide audience. It’s a true guide to the world of hotel technology, designed not only for specialists but also for those with little to no background in this field. We congratulate Ira Vouk on the release of Hotel Tech 101 and thank her for contributing to education and knowledge-sharing in the hotel tech industry!
