Environmental Intelligence in Sustainable Hospitality Operations provides a comprehensive, accessible, and data-led approach for achieving sustainability through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) across hospitality operations.The volume explains how smart sensors, real-time environmental monitoring, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation can optimize energy and water consumption, reduce food and material waste, enhance indoor air quality, and support carbon reduction strategies in hotels, resorts, restaurants, and allied tourism services. Chapters introduce practical frameworks for designing and implementing smart sustainable systems, including digital dashboards, AI-enabled decision models, and performance indicators aligned with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) requirements, supported with international applied case studies throughout. The book also addresses critical implementation issues such as data management, ethics, cybersecurity, investment justification, and organizational readiness.By combining environmental science with hospitality innovation, this innovative and timely book offers a comprehensive guide for researchers, students, industry professionals, and policymakers seeking scalable pathways toward low-carbon, resource-efficient, and resilient hospitality operations.

Organizational Debt and AI Failure: Why Your AI Project Fails challenges the assumption that unsuccessful artificial intelligence initiatives are primarily caused by weak models, insufficient computing power, or poor technology choices. Instead, Scott Andersen argues that AI often fails because it is introduced into organizations carrying years of unresolved structural debt.The book presents a practical framework for identifying and managing five interconnected forms of organizational debt: technical, data, personnel, security, and embedded debt. Technical debt creates fragile architectures and brittle integrations. Data debt undermines meaning, lineage, context, and trust. Personnel debt appears through skill gaps, unclear responsibilities, burnout, and dependence on a few critical individuals. Security debt weakens identity, governance, assurance, and accountability. Embedded debt connects them through undocumented assumptions, informal processes, workarounds, and hidden dependencies.AI does not necessarily create these weaknesses-it exposes and accelerates them. Processes that remained stable through human judgment and manual intervention can collapse when automated systems begin operating continuously and at machine speed. What appeared to be resilience may have depended on people quietly compensating for organizational problems.Drawing on decades of enterprise architecture and technology experience, Andersen explains why promising pilots become trapped in "pilot purgatory," why local improvements can increase systemwide risk, and why failures frequently emerge at the seams between technologies, teams, data, and decision authorities. He introduces practical concepts and measures-including Total AI Debt Exposure and Total AI Operational Pressure-to help leaders make risk visible and actionable.This book is written for executives, architects, technology leaders, security professionals, data teams, program managers, and organizations preparing to scale AI. Its central message is direct: successful AI transformation does not begin with adoption. It begins with organizational truth. By identifying, measuring, and governing the debt already present, organizations can move beyond experimentation and build AI systems that achieve delivery, adoption, and sustained operational value.

Bloomsbury Studies on Cuba

This book by Paolo Spadoni and José Luis Perelló Cabrera examines the history of tourism in Cuba and the expansion and struggles of international tourism in Cuba in the post-Cold War era. The Cuban Tourism Industry: Evolution, Challenges, and Prospects begins with a historical review of the development of tourism as an important industry in pre-1959 Cuba and the subsequent decline in the first fifteen years of the revolution before a modest recovery in the second half of the 1970s and during the 1980s. Spadoni and Cabrera continue with a thorough analysis of the remarkable expansion of international tourism in Cuba in the post-Cold War era and in the era of improved relations with the United States that officially began in 2014, along with an assessment of the sector's economic impact and its main challenges. A critical assessment of the damaging effects on the Cuban tourism sector of stiffened U.S. sanctions imposed by the Trump administration, and largely maintained by the Biden administration, is also provided. This book examines tourism trends in Cuba and the Caribbean in the post-pandemic era and sheds additional light on Cuba's recent tourism performance to underscore key flaws of the Cuban tourism industry and suggest potential adjustments.
