Hotel Technology Next Generation
- Hotel Technology Next Generation
Hotel Technology Next Generation, commonly referred to as HTNG, is a global, non-profit trade association serving hotel companies and technology providers. It was founded in 2002 and is governed by a board of directors consisting of senior technology executives from hotel companies. Membership is open to companies and individuals involved with hospitality technology.
The organization's stated objective is to promote interoperability of the many technology systems used in the hotel industry, such as Property management systems, point-of-sale systems, telephone systems, building automation systems, guestroom entertainment systems such as video on demand, security and access control systems, and many others. The organization's members meet regularly in small workgroups, where hotel companies and vendors work together to design interface standards (often using XML), reference architectures, network designs, and hospitality-specific network devices. HTNG holds regular member conferences in North America and Europe.
HTNG operates a certification program for selected specifications, administered by The Open Group.
