technologies across near-, medium-, and long-term timeframes. A chi-square analysis was conducted on
data collected from 208 hotel businesses. The findings reveal a statistically significant association between
adopting I4.0 technologies and business type, star rating, ownership structure, business age, business size,
service type, and customer segment. The results indicate that five-star hotels, older businesses, large-scale
enterprises, and luxury hotels are more likely to adopt face recognition systems in the near future (1-5 years).
The study challenges prevailing discussions in the literature by demonstrating that older businesses play a
more prominent role in the early adoption of I4.0 technologies.
