Do you miss your voice assistant when you travel? Do you find yourself in a hotel room and saying, "OK Google, set my alarm for 6 a.m." Or "Alexa, what's the weather forecast?" Or "Siri, tell housekeeping to come here."

Soon, you won't miss your voice assistant anymore, at least, if Volara has its way.

Volara CEO David Berger shares his vision for context-driven, identity-optional, voice-first experiences across the travel journey.

Dave answers questions, such as:

How does Volara work?

How is Volara different than your voice assistant at home?

Is voice better suited to shop and book or serve and assist?

Is guest privacy and proprietary hotel data at risk?

What are the biggest barriers to widespread use of voice travel?

Where can you find Volara today?

Why does Amazon's Alexa lead in hotels?

What digital voice assistant does David recommend for the home?

What's Volara's 2020 vision?

Volara is the only hotel-focused solution to achieve the Alexa for Business Solution Service Delivery Designation and be named a launch partner for Alexa for Hospitality.

Today, Volara’s software enables Amazon Alexa for 40 hotel management groups and properties belonging to major brands including Marriott International Inc., Two Roads Hospitality, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Best Western International, and Aloft.
