My Ultimate Toolbox of AI Tools: My Journey as a Hotelier and Digital Marketing Specialist

Over the past few years, I've embarked on a journey to discover the best tools that would not only streamline my work as a marketing director but also enhance the productivity of our family-owned hotel chain in the south of Morocco.

As someone who wears multiple hats—managing operations, overseeing digital marketing, and ensuring the smooth running of different departments—finding the right tools has been essential.

This journey hasn’t been just about finding tools; it’s been about investing significant time and resources to test, implement, and refine the use of these technologies. The hospitality industry is evolving rapidly, and staying ahead means embracing new technologies that allow us to work smarter, not harder.

Through trial and error, I’ve curated a collection of AI tools that have proven to be invaluable. Whether it’s optimizing our marketing campaigns, enhancing guest experiences, or improving operational efficiency, these tools have become a part of our daily operations.

However, this is not the end of the road—far from it. I’m committed to continually exploring new tools and technologies that can bring even more value to our business.

In this ongoing series, I’ll be sharing these tools openly with you—what they do, how they’ve helped us, and why I believe they’re worth your time. This will be a living community, continuously updated as I discover and test new tools that I believe will benefit both my teams and the broader hotel industry.

Whether you're a fellow hotelier, a digital marketer, or someone involved in the day-to-day operations of a hotel, I hope these publications will provide you with insights and practical tools to help your business thrive in this ever-changing landscape.
