AWS for Industries

Help Build “What’s Next” in Travel and Hospitality

2021 is in full swing. And for many of us in the travel and hospitality industry, it could not have come soon enough. The past year was unprecedented in so many ways. At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we observed first-hand the tenacity of the women and men across our industry, around the world, who serve tirelessly to make travelers and guests alike feel welcome, valued, and appreciated. Inspired by so many of their stories, and the efforts of companies that lead our industry, AWS published its own guide to managing through the disruption, “Building Resilience for the Long Run,” which remains as relevant today as it was last June.

In the midst of this challenging time, we were privileged to have industry leaders discuss their observations in our Executive Conversations’ series, sharing insights – and optimism – for this year ahead. Contributors spanned diverse segments and geographies and included Alexandre de Juniac (IATA), Arne Sorenson (Marriott International), Bonny Simi (JetBlue Technology Ventures), Chris Nassetta (Hilton), Debby Soo (OpenTable), Geoff Ballotti (Wyndham Hotels & Resorts), Jane Sun (Trip.com), Pat Pacious (Choice Hotels International), and many more.

So many organizations across travel and hospitality have been forced to rethink how they conduct business. More so now than ever before, companies need to adjust quickly to evolving needs of customers. This includes enhancing customer experiences with ever-more sophisticated levels of personalization, delivering against emerging health and safety requirements, and optimizing their operations to maximize efficiency. While we can’t predict the future, we are certain companies will emerge stronger and more prepared for whatever comes next.

Working back from everything we hear from our customers, we too are building and shaping the AWS Travel and Hospitality team, so we can deliver against Amazon’s mission of being “Earth’s most customer-centric company.” If you want to put yourself at the heart of the global travel and hospitality industry, and are passionate about technology and its ability to impact and improve the way we fly, stay, eat, and experience the world, one of these immediate opportunities might well be right for you. Come help AWS build for what’s next in travel and hospitality.
