To begin with, your overall topic is going to be the challenges and benefits of implementing new technology within the hospitality industry in the near future. When you search for information about the specific topics listed below, try to find articles that discuss positive$/$negative effects, strategies for implementation, etc. viewed through a hospitality employee perspective if possible. Though an article about new technology in the college$/$academic sector might yield some common themes, it does not specifically relate to hospitality, and thus may be too far off topic. Now that you know the general topic, search for specific articles about some or all of the following ideas$/$programs $($ideally$,$ you might find an article that covers more than one of these$)$: Which tourism businesses have implemented new technology in the recent past $($last $3$ years$),$ and how they have done so$.$ What effect some of these technologies have on productivity, efficiency, customer satisfaction, revenues, etc. What challenges hospitality businesses face when trying to implement new technology? Which new technologies are forecasted to be important, revolutionary, or essential within the near future $($next $5$ years$)$ Whether it is feasible for small hotels to implement new technology in order to compete with larger chains. You might come across statistics for the use of different forms of technology, examples from a specific business, or information about what happens if a business doesnt remain up to date with new technologies. All of these ideas are useful at this point in your planning.
