Technology is reshaping travel and hospitality in profound ways. In this episode of Travel Market Life, I am joined by with Andrew Metcalf, CTO of Access Hospitality and a small hotel owner, about how AI is streamlining operations, the challenges of outdated systems, and the impact of industry consolidation. James Clarke from TravelZoo shares their switch to cost-effective off-the-shelf tech, while Claire Steiner discusses how technology empowers neurodiverse talent and young innovators. Will Plummer explains AI’s role in preventing fraud.

Our conversation tackles big questions: Can independent hotels stay competitive? How do we preserve hospitality’s human essence amid advancing tech? It’s an honest look at an industry in transformation.
