In this episode, we're excited to host Toan Ly, Executive Assistant Manager Commercial at Six Senses Crans-Montana. With over a decade of international experience in luxury hospitality, Toan explains how technologies like AI-driven personalization, biometric security, and immersive virtual reality are transforming guest experiences. However, he emphasizes that the core of luxury hospitality lies in genuine human interaction, which cannot be replaced by technology. To prepare for future transformations, Toan stresses the importance of investing in culture, leadership, and scalable tech infrastructure. He also highlights the need for future hoteliers to be well-versed in both operational skills and technology, ensuring they strike the right balance between tech and personalized service, depending on their business positioning.
In Season 3, we dive into the theme of "High Tech for High Touch," where leading experts and innovators discuss how to strike the perfect balance between technology and human interaction in hospitality and tourism. The season explores how leveraging technology can enhance, rather than replace, the essential human touch that drives success in the industry.
