We all know how digitization has taken a hold over all the industries and has taken them to a whole new level. Digital power can either make or break your organization. With the growing trends of digital needs in the each of the sectors, it is safe to assume that the digital power is bound to grow. The hospitality sector is one of the sectors which has not fully exploited the digital marketing area and its uses in the hospitality sector. However, a vast majority of Hotel brands in India have realized the need and power of digitalization in the hotel services. For instance, travelers staying in hotels bring mobile and other devices along with them, therefore, being connected with them is a top priority. By this, the hotels can keep their customers satisfied and ensure them a good experience. Penetration of digitalization in the hospitality sector is, therefore, important to understand.
