Marriott is continuing its technology transformation, deploying artificial intelligence and other technologies to improve the guest experience and support associates and hotel owners. The company is also using conversational search and testing automation across hotel operations.
In June, Marriott launched Ask Bonvoy, a conversational AI search tool that helps travelers discover destinations across its portfolio. The beta is rolling out in U.S. English on marriott.com and the Marriott Bonvoy iOS and Android apps to selected members.
