Tourism Innovation Summit recognizes Canary for the results its agentic AI drives for hoteliers worldwide.
SAN FRANCISCO (October 22, 2026) — Canary Technologies, the leading AI platform for hotel and guest management, announced it is the winner of the AI & Digital Innovation Impact Award at the Tourism Innovation Awards 2026, presented during the Tourism Innovation Summit (TIS) in Seville, Spain.
The Tourism Innovation Awards recognizes technology companies that are shaping the future of hospitality. Its AI & Digital Innovation Impact Award spotlights real cases where technology has moved from experimentation to measurable results. Canary was honored for its leadership in AI for hospitality and the results its agentic solutions drive for hoteliers worldwide.
The award underscores the growing role of hospitality-specific AI as hotels look to improve efficiency, increase revenue and deliver faster, more personalized service without adding complexity for their teams.
“AI adoption is accelerating in hospitality,” said Manolo Diaz, Director of Sales, Southern Europe at Canary Technologies. “We’re seeing hotels put AI to work across their daily operations, automating repetitive tasks so their staff can focus on true hospitality. We’re pleased to earn this recognition, and it’s a credit to our team and the results they deliver for hoteliers every day.”
The award reflects a broader industry shift. Canary’s latest research shows that 82% of hoteliers expect to increase their AI usage over the next 12 months, and 85% anticipate allocating at least 5% of their IT budget to AI tools this year. For many hoteliers, the question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but when and how and which platforms to trust to deliver the most value.
