Hotel technology experts writing on WhatsApp automation, revenue management, GST compliance, and AI in hospitality.
About the team
The Hotelary.ai editorial team writes on the working intersection of hospitality operations and modern software. Every article on this blog is grounded in product decisions the team makes, customer hotels we work with, and the live data Hotelary.ai sees across bookings, distribution, and guest interactions.
We focus on what is actionable for an independent hotelier, boutique-hotel operator, or revenue manager — not generic hospitality commentary. Topics span WhatsApp automation, direct-booking strategy, India GST compliance, channel distribution, AI concierge implementation, and the metrics (RevPAR, ADR, occupancy) that drive every decision.
Editorial standards
- Every quoted figure or benchmark is sourced — typically from STR, Skift, h2c, CBIC circulars, or Google's published hotel data.
- Posts are reviewed against live customer data before publishing. If a tactic does not work for actual hotels we serve, it does not ship.
- Posts substantively edited after first publish carry an updated date in both the visible meta and the underlying schema, so readers and search engines can tell the difference between a refresh and an original.
