Canary Technologies Named Guest Engagement Solution of the Year

Industry award celebrates Canary's role in shaping the future of guest engagement.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Canary Technologies, the hospitality industry's leading AI-powered Guest Management System, today announced it has been named Guest Engagement Solution of the Year by TravelTech Breakthrough, a global market intelligence organization that recognizes excellence in travel technology through its annual awards program.

Chosen from thousands of nominations across more than 14 countries, the award underscores how Canary is redefining modern guest engagement. With AI at its core, Canary's solutions digitize the guest journey from booking to checkout—enabling hotel operators to streamline operations, increase revenue and deliver the modern hospitality experiences today's travelers expect.

"We're honored to be recognized as Guest Engagement Solution of the Year—and even more excited to see modern guest engagement breaking through as a priority across the travel industry," said SJ Sawhney, Co-founder and President of Canary Technologies. "More and more hotel operators are rising to the challenge of delivering exceptional guest experiences in new and innovative ways. We're humbled to be part of that transformation and proud to support this momentum across the 20,000+ hoteliers we serve around the world."

This recognition also reflects a growing industry-wide demand for more intuitive, tech-enabled guest experiences. As hotels increasingly move away from outdated, fragmented systems, solutions like Canary are setting a new standard for what guest engagement can look like.

"Technology is now integral to how guests travel, with most preferring to stay at properties with self-service tech," said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of TravelTech Breakthrough Awards. "However, many hotel tech stacks still rely on clunky, legacy systems that are not what guests want and don't help with ROI. Canary's AI-powered platform breaks through the travel tech market with a holistic guest experience and engagement solution that empowers hoteliers to raise revenue across the board, all while enhancing staff efficiency and maximizing guest satisfaction."

The TravelTech Breakthrough Awards program honors the world's top travel technology companies, products and services. Its mission is to spotlight the global innovators transforming the travel industry, through one of the most comprehensive evaluations of breakthrough technologies shaping the future of travel.
