Hungarian hotel technology company SabeeApp has announced the launch of a Global Distribution System (GDS) connection, further strengthening its ambition to become a fully integrated operational platform for independent and boutique hotels.

One of the fastest-growing areas in hospitality today is ancillary revenue. Most accommodation providers now agree that additional services play an increasingly important role in overall profitability.

Although the use of artificial intelligence is growing in popularity, hotels currently don't feel that AI tools threaten the value of human labor; instead, they see them as complementary.
