Shiji and ANCH Transform Mexico’s Hospitality with Cutting-Edge Technology

The IT Assembly: Technology Trends in Hospitality 2026, hosted by Shiji Group and ANCH, gathered technology experts and key decision-makers from across the hospitality sector. The event, held in Mexico City, set the stage for Mexico’s hotel chains to enhance their digital maturity by embracing artificial intelligence (AI), cloud technology, and advanced cybersecurity measures.

As digital transformation accelerates, the collaboration between Shiji and ANCH, along with their technology partners, aims to strengthen the competitiveness of Mexico’s hospitality sector. Their joint effort aims to integrate advanced systems, from global distribution networks to next-generation payment solutions, ensuring hotels can meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market. The initiative aims to provide hotel chains with cutting-edge technology that boosts both efficiency and guest satisfaction.

Key Focus Areas: AI, Cybersecurity, and Cloud Technology

The IT Assembly was centred on strategic technology implementations that are reshaping how hotels operate, manage data, and engage with customers. Key topics included:

Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI-driven tools and systems that allow hotels to optimise their operations, from personalised guest experiences to more data-driven decision-making. AI is transforming guest engagement, including chatbots for customer service, predictive maintenance, and automated check-ins.

Cybersecurity: The hospitality industry faces growing concerns over data protection and fraud prevention. With increasing reliance on digital platforms, cybersecurity is now considered an investment, not just an operational expense. Protecting customer data and securing reservation systems are paramount to preserving trust in the digital environment.

Cloud Technology: Leveraging cloud infrastructure enables hotels to store and manage large amounts of data safely and efficiently. Cloud-based systems improve scalability and flexibility, allowing hotels to update systems remotely and reduce the costs of maintaining physical infrastructure.

Shiji’s Role in Facilitating Seamless Technological Integration

Shiji Group has played a crucial role in enabling digital adoption within the hotel industry. Their Shiji Platform—a comprehensive cloud-based system, provides a full suite of technology solutions for hotels, including property management systems (PMS), point-of-sale (POS), guest engagement tools, distribution, payments, and data intelligence. With more than 91,000 hotels worldwide relying on Shiji’s technology, the platform is recognised as a leader in global hospitality tech.

For ANCH members, which represent 32 hotel chains with over 1,600 properties and 250,000 rooms across Mexico, Shiji’s solutions are becoming integral to improving operational efficiency, data management, and guest satisfaction. The goal of this partnership is to enhance the sector’s competitiveness while providing real-time digital solutions that optimise both service quality and financial performance.

Driving Sustainable and Responsible Tourism Through Technology

One significant aspect of the ongoing digital transformation within the hotel industry is sustainability. With environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria becoming more important, technology is helping to reduce energy consumption, monitor carbon footprints, and optimise resources. Using cloud technology, hotel chains can efficiently manage operations while adhering to sustainable practices, making their offerings more attractive to eco-conscious travellers.

The shift towards cloud-based solutions not only helps optimise the use of materials and energy but also enables carbon footprint monitoring. This positions hotels to meet growing consumer demand for responsible tourism. Through these technological advancements, the Mexican hotel industry aligns itself with global sustainability standards.

Looking Ahead: The Future of Hospitality in Mexico

As technology continues to reshape the hospitality landscape, the collaboration between Shiji Group, ANCH, and its technology partners is a pivotal moment in the Mexican hotel sector’s digital future. With the integration of AI, cybersecurity solutions, and cloud platforms, the industry is well-positioned to enhance guest experiences, improve operational efficiency, and meet the demands of the modern traveller.

The digitalisation of the hotel sector is accelerating in Mexico, and the innovations discussed at the Technology Trends in Hospitality 2026 Assembly reflect a larger trend across the global tourism industry. Through these collaborations, Mexico’s hotel chains are setting a new standard for digital maturity, establishing themselves as leaders in the global hospitality market.

As the sector continues to embrace digital tools, travellers can expect safer, more efficient, and personalised experiences, transforming the way they connect with destinations. The future of technology in hospitality is not just about efficiency but also about creating meaningful, people-centred experiences that enhance both the guest journey and the operational success of hotels.
