At Hotel Linkage, we believe the future of hospitality will be shaped not only by technology, but by how well people are prepared to use it. That is why building strong collaborations with universities is a key part of our vision. Over the past few months, we have been working closely with leading universities in Türkiye to create meaningful connections between academia and the hospitality industry. These partnerships are designed to move beyond theory and introduce students to how AI is already transforming real hotel operations. We are proud to announce one of these collaborations with Anadolu University. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Prof. Barış Çıvak for his support and forward-thinking approach throughout this process. Through this collaboration, students at Anadolu University will begin exploring AI-powered receptionist systems through real use cases and practical applications. This hands-on approach aims to better prepare the next generation of hospitality professionals for a rapidly evolving industry. We are also pleased to share that the poster below was created by the students themselves—an inspiring example of engagement and ownership. At Hotel Linkage, we remain committed to strengthening the connection between education and industry. This is just the beginning.
