Shiji Unveils 2024 Hospitality Technology Distribution Chart: A Snapshot of Hotel Tech Evolution
Consolidation in the sector, brand evolutions, and a focus on personalisation are some of the key trends defining the 2024 hospitality distribution landscape.
BARCELONA, Spain, January 17, 2024 – Shiji, the global hospitality technology innovator, proudly presents its highly anticipated 2024 Hospitality Distribution Technology Chart, encapsulating the distribution landscape within the hospitality technology sector. The updated chart illustrates the evolution of the distribution space through continued acquisitions, strategic brand movements, new segments, and more.
The trend of acquisitions and consolidation since 2022 has continued apace, with notable acquisitions by Cendyn and SHR Group reflecting a concerted push for the creation of one-stop-shop platforms. Several brands have introduced new products, such as Shiji with its innovative Shiji Enterprise Platform (PMS), while others have rebranded completely in order to evolve with the market.
The 2024 chart also introduces two new sections, highlighting the crucial roles of Travel Affiliates in expanding the reach of travel services and of Bedbanks as crucial intermediaries between hotels and travel agencies. A focus on personalised guest experiences and interoperability between systems both remained priorities for hotels looking to innovate and remain competitive.
The Shiji Hospitality Distribution Technology Chart was first published in 2015 and has become the global reference for the hotel industry’s distribution technology landscape. The companies represented on the chart are among the largest in their category and are selected by industry experts.
