It covers digital upgrades, data-driven integration, and higher levels of automation.

The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) has developed the Hotel Industry Digital Plan (IDP) to serve as a guide for enterprises, including SMEs, in the hotel industry in going digital, according to a press release.

The IDP provides a guide on the digital solutions to adopt at each stage of their growth. It also includes a Digital Roadmap for Training for the industry’s workforce.

The IDP broadly covers 3 stages, first on readying hotels to enhance digital capabilities, second on further enhancing guest experience by tapping on data driven insights and integration, and third on exploring advanced solutions for higher levels of automation and tapping into Singapore Tourism Board’s (STB) Technology Resources.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
