Abstract

The study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) advances on both competitive advantage and guest experiences at environmentally responsible hotels. Through quantitative analysis we studied the relationships between these constructs and identified competitive advantage as a mediating factor. The quantitative analysis indicates AI innovations have a direct positive effect on consumer experience at 0.40 while their indirect influence through competitive advantage is measured at 0.45 resulting in a total effect of 0.85. The data indicates strategic alignment of AI developments with competitive advantages leads to substantial improvements in customer satisfaction. Eco hotels should direct their efforts towards implementing AI technologies and showcasing their unique offerings while consistently monitoring these technological developments for success. Theoretical implications deepen understanding of technology's role in hospitality while practical suggestions provide actionable strategies for managers.
