A few years ago, hotel sales were usually done through third-party platforms and were not generated directly from their website. This trend has changed, and guests now choose to interact with hotels first-hand. Stakeholders now need to work towards better digital representation of hotels and the user experience to boost sales and increase market shares. Social media platforms also play a big role in hotels advertising themselves to reach a wider audience. A suitable partner who can get hotels up to speed with modern tools to improve their websites and increase their outreach through various channels is openROOM.

Unlocking Smarter Coffee Making Experiences
The automatic coffee machine industry is steaming ahead, fueled by innovation, convenience, and the global love for premium coffee experiences. Valued at approximately $7 billion in 2023, the market is brewing strong growth, with projections reaching nearly $10 billion by 2030. This upward trend is driven by increasing demand from offices, cafés, and co-working spaces that prioritize efficiency without compromising quality. Key technology trends shaping the industry include smart coffee machines with IoT capabilities. These advancements are redefining the coffee experience, offering app-based controls, customizable brews, and predictive maintenance alerts. AI is also making its mark, enabling machines to learn user preferences and optimize energy consumption. For B2B buyers, these advancements translate to operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and elevated customer satisfaction. Sustainability is another significant driver.

Refillable capsules and low-waste brewing systems are gaining traction and appealing to environmentally conscious enterprises.
