VENZA to Acquire Guest Voice AI to Elevate Hotel Communication
Jeff Venza, a seasoned hospitality technology professional and executive at VENZA and CyberTek MSSP, today announced the planned acquisition of Guest Voice AI—a groundbreaking platform that transforms hotel communication and boosts operational efficiency through AI-driven automation. The move, following the recent acquisition of the intelligent asset management company OpsTechPro, brings a cutting-edge solution to the VENZA family of companies, purpose-built to simplify and streamline guest interactions.
Guest Voice AI integrates with all major Property Management Systems (PMS) to automatically answer guest inquiries, create and dispatch service tickets, and track service trends using real-time dashboards and AI-driven insights. In combination, it delivers an innovative solution to enhance guest interactions before, during, and after their stay.
VENZA was built on a foundation of protecting data and digital infrastructure in the hospitality space. But today, protection means more than just defense—it means empowering hoteliers with secure, scalable tools that enable them to serve guests with confidence. Guest Voice AI perfectly aligns with our mission to elevate the entire guest journey from start to finish. Our goal is to make hotels more secure, efficient, and guest-centric. By embedding this innovative technology across our product suite, we're equipping hoteliers with AI-driven tools that enable high-touch service through cutting-edge automation, while upholding the trust and integrity that travelers demand. Jeff Venza, Chairman of VENZA and CyberTek MSSP
With an easy-to-use open API, Guest Voice AI offers major operational efficiency benefits for hoteliers. It answers up to 95% of guest inquiries automatically, eliminating the need for additional front desk agents during peak hours. This results in savings of up to $20,000 USD annually, while freeing staff to focus on the in-person guest experience. On the back end, Guest Voice AI's intelligent workflows and instant insights allow management to review and tune essential services.
Great technology should enhance human hospitality, not replace it, said Venza. Guest Voice AI can take the weight off hotel teams, allowing them to focus on delivering personal, memorable experiences. Combined with our portfolio of data protection and hotel management services, this solution redefines what it means to protect and optimize hotel operations in the digital age .
For information about adding Guest Voice AI to an existing program, contact [email protected]. To preview this solution, visit VENZA at HITEC 2025, June 16–19, at booth #3411.

W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island has announced the promotion of Deivid Paiva to Director of Beverage & Food, marking a fresh step in the property's evolution as a bold dining and lifestyle destination. He brings over two decades of experience in luxury hospitality, including his time at Michelin-starred restaurants and global five-star brands across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

With W Race Weekend spectacles, seasonal takeovers, and bold collabs in the pipeline, Paiva's next chapter will remain focused on delivering experiences that are as bold as the brand itself. Paiva joined the hotel in 2022 and shortly thereafter assumed the role of Director of Culinary, quickly becoming one of the driving forces behind the property's F&B evolution. Over the last three years, he's led a team of over 100 professionals, rolled out new menu concepts, successfully launched two exciting new restaurant concepts from New York - Brooklyn Chop House and Pappas Taverna, and delivered the hotel's most successful Race Weekend to date. Under his leadership, venues like Garage restaurant earned serious industry cred, with the B.I.G. Brunch becoming a category-defining experience and flipping the script on the capital's brunch scene. Before joining W Abu Dhabi - Yas Island, Paiva worked with renowned names including The Ritz-Carlton Tianjin, Shangri-La Bangkok, China World Summit Wing Beijing, and the Michelin-starred Chapter One in Dublin.

Marriott International Introduces MARRIOTT MEDIA, a New Media Network Shaped for the Traveler
Marriott International today announced the launch of MARRIOTT MEDIA, signaling change and a new chapter in how brands engage with consumers across the traveler journey. MARRIOTT MEDIA is a media network shaped for the traveler. Different from traditional media networks, MARRIOTT MEDIA puts the customer and the travel journey at the center – connecting relevant brands with customers at the right time, across digital and physical touchpoints, and with a contextually relevant message. By using first-party data and 200+ targetable attributes across the nearly 237-million member Marriott Bonvoy program and from Marriott's lodging portfolio comprised of nearly 9,500 properties globally, MARRIOTT MEDIA helps enable targeting by combining demographic information with guest behavior, travel intent, and traveler passions. Thoughtful design of messaging and creative, coupled with targeted audience selection and robust measurement capability across the marketing funnel, will offer marketers campaign performance with closed loop attribution. Guest data is used responsibly and in accordance with all applicable regulations. The platform is consent-based, with easy opt-out options for guests, providing transparency and trust. Today's travelers expect personalization and welcome thoughtful discovery. MARRIOTT MEDIA is designed to enrich, not interrupt, serving guests content, recommendations, and offers in ways that feel natural, relevant, and aligned with their travel experience. I'm excited to announce Chris Norton, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Data Activation & Personalization, will lead this bold initiative and serve as the General Manager for MARRIOTT MEDIA. Peggy Roe, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International Norton added: Our goal is to offer select brand partners the opportunity to create deeper engagement with customers through the lens of travel and our brands. Through sophisticated measurement, including brand lift and awareness studies, attributable conversions, and advanced modeling, we empower our brand partners to align their campaigns with our travelers, ensuring meaningful engagement at every touchpoint . Working with select brands, MARRIOTT MEDIA will curate brand experiences across Marriott-owned digital platforms such as and the Marriott Bonvoy app, placement within the room and stay experience, third-party websites, and social platforms. MARRIOTT MEDIA collaborated with select brands for an initial pilot including PepsiCo., Visa, United Airlines, Uber, Starbucks, F1® THE MOVIE, Audible, American Express and Resy. The ability to engage with travelers on a connected journey through digital and physical touchpoints and its seamless integration model sets the network apart. MARRIOTT MEDIA bridges advertiser content and native Marriott content, making it possible for brand messaging to engage guests in high-trust, high-attention spaces, from curated pre-arrival recommendations to bespoke in-room experiences and post-stay reengagement. This media model allows marketers to move fluidly with customers at points in the journey when they are most interested in relevant content and new discovery, serving not only impressions but compelling offers and memorable touchpoints. One of MARRIOTT MEDIA's most compelling placements is alongside Marriott Bonvoy's original content shown on Marriott Bonvoy TV. Doubling down on the power of storytelling, this longer form placement gives brands a unique opportunity to connect, through narrative that engages travelers with in-room content throughout their stay. With a portfolio of more than 30 hotel brands that is loved by many of the most loyal and highest-spending travelers in the world, MARRIOTT MEDIA offers marketers access to travelers who stay longer, spend more, and are deeply engaged with the brands they trust. For media buyers and brand strategists, hospitality media is no longer an ancillary channel, it's poised to become a growth engine. With plans to scale the network into global markets, MARRIOTT MEDIA's emphasis on authenticity will remain a key differentiator. Experiences will be localized, cultural context will be prioritized, and brand safety will be implemented, by design, as branded content is curated for the Marriott traveler journey.
