At the 63rd Equipotel event in São Paulo, several key developments were announced for the Brazilian hospitality sector. Foco Tecnologia officially launched Otheo AI, a robot-concierge integrated into its management system. This technology allows hotel managers to use natural language commands to handle tasks such as checking rates, availability, reservations, and financial reports. Additionally, Foco introduced a new tax module for its Rooms platform to better connect administrative and operational activities.
In the area of professional development, Real Hospitality Academy partnered with Hub ESG Hotel Business to create a specialized educational area focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices within the hospitality industry. This digital initiative aims to provide certified training to help professionals implement sustainability into their daily routines.
Furthermore, the mattress manufacturer Onix celebrated its 50th anniversary, highlighting its long-standing partnership with the hotel industry. The company noted a shift in the market where mattresses have evolved from purely functional items into integral components of the guest experience, driven by technological advancements and higher consumer demands.
