Global hospitality company Marriott International accelerated the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for customers of its properties and its travel platform during the second quarter. Ask Bonvoy provides an AI-powered, conversational, natural language search experience that is designed to help members of Marriott International’s loyalty program, Marriott Bonvoy, explore the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio of 10,000 properties in 146 countries and territories, Marriott International said in a June 16 press release. The tool is designed to complement the existing search function on Marriott.com and in the Marriott Bonvoy App by allowing guests to use conversational prompts covering travel purpose, location attributes and desired amenities. During the second quarter, Marriott International saw its global revenue per available room (RevPAR) increase 3.4%. Marriott International’s loyalty program, Marriott Bonvoy, grew to more than 295 million members during the quarter.
