Reseñas de la Crítica

“Ira really opened my eyes to how and why the Digital Revolution will occur in hospitality. Her practical experience in hotel operations combined with an informed mind on how technology can drive business results is a potent combination. She astutely maps the lodging ecosystem in a way that informs the reader how many stakeholders in that system have competing and non-aligned interests. She approaches this work with the passion of a modern day Joan of Arc. It is a great read.” (Carl Winston, Payne School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, SDSU)

"Anyone entering our industry simply must read Hospitality 2.0 as there is no book that can even get close to the comprehensiveness this book provides. I also recommend it to experienced executives in all travel companies that use technology (which doesn’t?) as I haven’t yet found a book with the same level of depth to give context and sufficient understanding on such a large array of hotel technology subjects." (Dori Stein, Fornova)

"Many hotels are desperately lagging behind as far as technology is concerned: knowledge, devices, applications. Luckily, Hospitality 2.0 fills in some major knowledge gaps and outlives a path forward for the digital transformation of our beloved industry." (Max Starkov, Hospitality Consulting, New York University)

Total disappointment

The positive reviews are ether from the author’s relatives or bots. Observations are generic, not novel and oftentimes wrong.
