Second Annual Lodging Industry Technology Study To Be Published.Business Editors Technology is an integral part of doing business today, especially for hotels, and the ability to forecast where the industry is heading through data-rich analysis is increasingly important to hotel executives and technologists. In November 2002, Hospitality Technology magazine will update multi-unit lodging owners, operators and executives about current and future technologies, applications and strategies, as well as prospective budget and investment levels industry-wide through publication of its second annual Lodging Industry Technology Study. "This study fills a crucial need," reports Joe Skorupa, Editor of Hospitality Technology. "It provides vital information and benchmarks that will assist hoteliers in making informed technology and business decisions in the current climate of economic challenges and competitive pressures." Hospitality Technology's research partner for this year's study will be the Hospitality Information Technology Association (HITA Hita (hē`tä), city (1990 pop. 64,695), Oita prefecture, N central Kyushu, Japan, on the Chikugo River and the Hita plain.
