In addition, the purpose of this paper is to determine the status and role of mobile technology in driving revenue growth in the hotel industry. Design/Methodology - Based on an extensive desk research in the existing literature, this study examines how mobile technology can significantly improve hotel operations. Secondary data were used to draw conclusions about the potential of mobile technology in the hotel industry. Findings/Results - The paper contributes to the discussion on the increasingly important role of mobile technology in the hotel industry. However, mobile technology has changed the perception of hotel guests and the way they experience good things. Therefore, this paper, which deals with the significance and importance of mobile technology in hotel operations, attempts to answer these questions: To what extent is mobile technology present? How are they used? What role do they play in modern hotel operations and in the hotel industry in general? Originality/Value - This paper focuses on the mobile technologies, like mobile apps, in order to deeply understand to what extent hotel guests' accept the usage of these technologies for the choice of hotel, by providing issues for researchers and practitioners.
