Hyatt chooses Oracle OPERA Cloud as PMS

HYATT HOTELS CORP. recently selected the Oracle OPERA Cloud hospitality platform as the property management system for its global portfolio of more than 1,000 hotels and all-inclusive properties. The new PMS is expected to streamline operations, standardize data management and enhance guest experiences by enabling personalized service through a deeper understanding of guest preferences across stays.

With OPERA Cloud's mobile capability, Hyatt employees can assist guests from anywhere, anytime, the companies said in a statement.


“As one of the world’s top hospitality companies, Hyatt is committed to caring for people so they can be their best,” said Cameron Hammond, Hyatt’s senior vice president of global field technology services. “In today’s evolving environment, technology plays a critical role in empowering our colleagues to continue delivering unforgettable experiences to our guests. By moving to OPERA Cloud and extending our long-standing collaboration with Oracle, we will provide our operators and colleagues with a modern, secure platform to deliver better data insights and elevate their roles with greater ease and efficiency.”

OPERA Cloud PMS, supported by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, will centralize data across Hyatt’s global properties, offering improved insights and operational planning at both the portfolio and individual property levels, the statement said.

“With OPERA Cloud as the secure data and service foundation of its operations, Hyatt will be able to scale its portfolio while providing owners, operators, and colleagues the tools they need to deliver exceptional guest experiences,” said Alex Alt, Oracle’s executive vice president and general manager of hospitality and retail. “Moving to the cloud with Oracle will enable Hyatt to unlock a new level of flexibility and service, allowing them to innovate with speed and agility to adapt to the unique needs and expectations of each guest, property, and market they serve.”

In June, Hyatt reported an 85 percent surge in its global pipeline since 2017, reaching a record 129,000 rooms. During this period, luxury rooms doubled, resort rooms tripled, and lifestyle rooms quintupled.

Air India reducing flights after deadly crash

AIR INDIA WILL reduce international service on widebody aircraft by 15 percent through at least mid-July, according to media reports. The decision comes less than a week after the June 12 crash of an Air India airliner carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members in Ahmedabad, India, that killed 246 but left one survivor among the passengers.

The airline said the reduced service due to the safety inspection of aircraft and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have disrupted operations, resulting in 83 flight cancellations over the past six days, according to ABC News. Passengers can either reschedule their flights at no additional cost or receive a full refund.

Reuters: ICE resumes hotel immigration raids

ICE Reverses Decision to Pause Raids on Key Industries

U.S. IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS have reversed enforcement limits at hotels, farms, restaurants and food processing plants days after issuing them, following conflicting statements by President Donald Trump, according to Reuters. ICE leadership told field office heads on Monday it would withdraw last week's directive that paused raids on those businesses.

ICE officials were told a daily quota of 3,000 arrests—10 times the average last year under former President Joe Biden—would remain in effect, two former officials said in the report. ICE field office heads raised concerns they could not meet the quota without raids at the previously exempted businesses, Reuters reported, citing a source.

However, it was not clear why the directive was reversed.
