Abstract
The aim of the diplomacy is to assess the readiness of the country's hotel units, especially after the pandemic, to invest in and support digital transformation. A process that, although demanding in itself, is a constant battle with time, since it presents a continuous evolution.
The methodology followed for the preparation of this work included both the literature review and the use of questionnaire research.
