Dr. Badr Al Badr, CEO Dur Hospitality company, speaks about the right use of Internet of things (IoT), in the hotel sector during Schneider’s "Innovation Summit".  Al Badr explained that technology should be reasonably used in the fulfillment of guests’ needs, not excessively or randomly, as the latest reports indicate guests still prefer old fashion hospitality services in many areas. 
He also referred to Makarem hotels, the award-winning Saudi hotels, as the perfect example of tailoring hotel services to fit the guest’s expectations and using technology to add value to their journey in the areas they appreciate the most. Makarem’s mobile app that guides pilgrims through Hajj and Umrah trip is the perfect example of utilizing technology that best serves the client. Additionally, he highlighted the role of Dur hospitality in pioneering the concept of smart technologies and systems in the residential sector in Saudi Arabia through “Darraq” the smart residential compounds located in the Diplomatic Quarter.
