Here is a summary of our interview with Chas

What feels different about hospitality in 2026?

The hospitality industry has shifted toward a need for more connected ecosystems. Hoteliers are dealing with fragmentation across systems, leading to what is often described as dashboard fatigue.

There are more tools, more data and more information available than ever before, but not necessarily more clarity. As a result, hoteliers are looking for smarter ecosystems rather than additional tools, where they can work, access insights and make decisions in one place with confidence.

How can tech unlock new hotel revenue streams?

Hotels now have access to more data from multiple sources, and technology is playing a key role in helping consolidate that information and support faster decision-making.

This data can be used to drive both room revenue and additional revenue opportunities across the business. It can also enable more personalized guest experiences, both before arrival and during the stay.

How important is real-time data for hotels?

Real-time data is critical for effective decision-making.

For example, during demand surges or events, hotels may miss opportunities if they are not aware of changes in demand early enough. Without real-time visibility, rooms can sell out too far in advance without capturing full revenue potential.

Technology plays a key role in compiling and translating real-time data into actionable insights, allowing hoteliers to respond quickly as market conditions change.

What are you most excited about for RoomPriceGenie in the next year?

RoomPriceGenie has launched its new Revenue Intelligence product at ITB, which focuses on embedding revenue insights directly into property management systems.

This allows hoteliers to access the most relevant data and insights at the point where decisions are being made, without needing to switch between systems.

The solution launched with 15 partners at ITB, with further growth expected as more partners adopt the platform. The focus is on placing the hotelier at the center of their data and enabling faster, more informed decision-making.
