Pioneering the Future of Hospitality: Cutting-Edge Tech in NCR Hotels Reception Management

Abstract

This study investigates the revolutionary impact of cutting-edge technology on enhancing guest services in the reception management of hotels in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India. Recognized as a vibrant center for hospitality and commerce, the NCR offers a distinct setting to examine the adoption of innovative technological solutions in hotel reception operations.

The research commences with an assessment of current practices in hotel reception areas across the NCR, pinpointing conventional methods and the evolving demands of a technology-aware customer base. It delves into various technological advancements being implemented or contemplated by these hotels, including self-service check-in and check-out kiosks, AI-driven customer service tools, digital concierge offerings, and instantaneous room personalization technologies.

Employing both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, such as surveys, hotel management interviews, and customer feedback analysis, the study evaluates the effects of these technologies on enhancing guest contentment, streamlining operational processes, and improving overall hotel performance. It pays special attention to how these technological progressions aid NCR hotels in adapting to the shifting landscape of the hospitality sector, especially in light of heightened competition and recovery efforts post-pandemic.

Additionally, the paper explores the hurdles hotels encounter while integrating these technologies, like financial considerations, staff training needs, and compatibility with existing systems. It also examines potential obstacles to technological adoption, such as reluctance to change and apprehensions regarding data privacy and security.
