Meituan Jibai Launches Flagship Edition, Hotel AI Moves Toward Business Advisor
On September 23, Meituan announced an upgrade to its hotel AI product Jibai at the 2026 TravelDaily Summit in Shanghai, officially launching a flagship edition that provides full-chain AI support for market insight, business diagnosis and performance review for upscale and chain hotels. With merchant authorization, the flagship edition can connect with hotel PMS and other local operating systems to consolidate data scattered across channels. Meituan said merchants deeply using Jibai saw RevPAR rise an average of 11%, diagnostic recommendation accuracy reached 98%, and full-chain management efficiency improved 20%.
Impact and considerations
Fragmented hotel operating data and difficult attribution are common industry pain points. Connecting AI with PMS means hotel decision tools are moving from personal productivity into enterprise-level operating scenarios, potentially influencing hotel revenue management and chain groups' digital procurement direction.
