Introduction
Technology is the most important tool which is enabling people and organisation with their growth and development as well. There are very different and latest inventions of more and more advanced technologies as the traditional methods of implementation or doing things are not considered much of importance. It is vital for firms and industries that they are using and implementing latest form of technological advancement which is not only improving their profits but their market base and customers are also been increased. However, the question arise as how to integrate or implement these emerging technologies as many a time this is regarded to as most costly and time consuming activities. So in this current research project researcher would be including various challenges and how to overcome those issues at the time of integrating emerging technologies that too focusing on the hospitality industry.

Literature Review
Definition of emerging technologies
Emerging technologies is that technology which is recently launched or developed and will be developed in next five to ten year. Emerging technology included information technology, wireless data communication, man machine communication, on demand printing, bio -technologies, and advanced robotics as per Botta, De Donato, Persico and Pescapé, 2016. This all are recently launched and will be developed.
Emerging technologies arise from new knowledge and new ideas. It arises from innovation of application of existing knowledge. It leads to a rapid development of new ideas and abilities. Emerging technologies are projected to have significant systematic and long -lasting economic, social, and political which create new opportunities for challenges to resolve global issues. In present time we are using some emerging technologies from our recent past that is global positioning system (GPS). MP3 is another example of emerging technologies which is used by us almost every day of year from small player to the large radio stations.
According to Gupta and Jha, 2015 Emerging technologies are technologies that are generally new but it include older technologies that are still undeveloped and controversial such as pre implantation genetic diagnosis and gene therapy.
New technologies fields may result from the technological convergence at many system including towards same goals. It is involves those innovations which represent progressive development within a field for competitive advantage.
