HITEC Dubai 2019 opens with futuristic vision

Dubai – Mubasher: The Middle East’s largest hospitality technology show for hotels, HITEC Dubai 2019, has opened with a focus on the future, with artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, data protection, and digital transformation in hospitality topping the agenda.

Endorsed by Dubai Tourism, the two-day event will display the top tech trends altering the hotel industry with the presence of worldwide top technology solution providers as well as thought leaders, a press release on Tuesday said.    

As the Middle East technology buyers are forecast to record over $75 billion, the CEO of HFTP, Frank Wolfe CAE, remarked, “The growth and scale of HITEC Dubai is a testament to the buoyant hospitality industry in the Middle East. Advances in digital and artificial intelligence are transforming the business faster than ever. Our core aim is to gather hospitality and technology leaders to share their success stories and tackle common challenges.”

The 2019 HITEC Dubai will further showcase innovative regional and international case studies, as well as stimulating panel discussions, and technology demonstrations.  

“With the rise of technologies like multicloud, IoT, and 5G, we are on a fast track to a highly connected future. While these technologies offer incredible promise to users, they also expose us to a number of potential vulnerabilities. Vast volumes of personal data are being shared online by customers and hotels need to ensure it is protected,” concluded the chairperson of HITEC Dubai’s Advisory Council, Laurent A. Voivenel.
