| Abstract: | Internet- and Cloud-based systems are transforming the way businesses operate. This is particularly interesting for the hospitality industry, though with limited application to date due to many variables. Advances in the smart technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provide the opportunity not only to optimize hotel operations but also create personalized services and experiences. Prior research discussed extensively the numerous advantages of smart technology for hotel guests, however the barriers that stop hotel stakeholders from implementing it in hotels is a grey area that has not been sufficiently explored yet.
