AWS has deep experience across the industry including airlines and airports; restaurants; accommodation and lodging; trains and cruise lines; travel sellers and travel management companies; and technology services and solution providers. Global hotel companies, independent boutique brands, online home and vacation rental providers, and technology companies are all adapting to changes that impact the bottom line. Whether brought on by world events, shifting consumer preferences and behavior, or something else entirely, leading accommodation and lodging companies build on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
