Abstract: Abstract This chapter explores the imperative role of innovation in sustaining competitiveness within the hotel industry, emphasizing that true innovation extends beyond mere technological adoption to include the cultivation of a culture that fosters creativity and risk-taking. Through a detailed case study of a major hotel’s digital transformation, the study highlights the strategic integration of technology with traditional service paradigms to enhance operational efficiency and customer engagement. The journey illustrates the necessity of a supportive organizational culture and proactive employee involvement in innovation processes, underscoring the transformational impact of leadership that champions adaptability and continuous learning. The case study reveals challenges such as resistance to change and integration difficulties, along with the strategies employed to overcome these, providing a comprehensive blueprint for continuous innovation in service-oriented settings. Key aspects such as continuous learning, opportunity creation, and employee motivation are analyzed to demonstrate their critical roles in driving the innovation agenda. This examination not only offers valuable insights for the hospitality industry but also serves as a model for other service sectors aiming to leverage innovation for enhanced competitiveness and sustainability.
