First in the industry online learning course on hospitality technology is now live
"A deep dive into the Hospitality Technology ecosystem" - immersive course designed for hotel operators, owners, vendors, investors, IT professionals, students and lecturers.
This deep dive into how to navigate effectively in the complex environment of travel & hospitality technology is brought to you by Ira Vouk, the acclaimed author of industry best-seller “Hospitality 2.0”, a lecturer, a speaker, and a founder recently recognized as "top 17 technology professionals inspiring innovation in the US hotel industry".
I teach hospitality technology at SDSU, and after realizing that there’s not a single online learning course on this topic out there, I decided to launch this new course at a very affordable price, to help others learn what my students already know. This knowledge is necessary for every single hospitality professional to be effective and successful in the field, especially considering that so much is changing in our industry and we now live and operate in a completely new environment, which I refer to as Hospitality 2.0.
