Submit Content for Publishing Consideration
Hotel Technology News welcomes timely, original content that helps hotel owners, operators and technology leaders understand the technologies, strategies and issues shaping the industry.
We are particularly interested in informed Viewpoints from subject-matter experts, as well as opportunities to speak with hotel owners, operators, general managers and other industry practitioners for Spotlight Interviews. Editorial submissions are considered on their merits and should provide useful insight for HTN readers rather than serve as sales or marketing material.
Two Ways to Participate
Unpaid Editorial Opportunities
Objective, non-promotional content from knowledgeable industry participants is considered for publication on editorial merit.
- Viewpoints: original opinion and expert analysis on timely hotel technology issues. Articles should be objective and non-promotional and should not promote the contributor’s company, products or solutions.
- Spotlight Interviews: editor-selected interviews generally reserved for hotel owners, operators, general managers and senior hotel-company leaders responsible for technology, operations, revenue management, marketing, finance, guest experience or related functions. Solution-provider executives are generally not featured in unpaid Spotlight Interviews except when there is a compelling independent editorial reason.
Paid Promotional Content
Content that promotes a company, product or solution is available through HTN’s paid publishing and distribution programs.
- Press releases: vendor news, product announcements, partnerships, funding news, customer deals and other qualifying company developments.
- Customer success stories: case studies focused on a meaningful hotel technology innovation and the hotel or resort results and lessons behind it.
- Promotional Viewpoints: bylined articles that reference the contributor’s own company, products or solutions, or otherwise include promotional messaging.
- Vendor Spotlights and sponsored interviews: profiles or interview-style content featuring solution-provider executives, company strategy, products, capabilities or market positioning.
