Peter Evans, CEO of Xtract One, was featured in a Reuters article discussing hotel security challenges following a reported attack at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. The article examines the hotel industry’s struggle to balance stronger security with hospitality, highlighting growing interest in AI-powered screening solutions.
Peter noted that hotel security requires a layered approach due to high foot traffic, multiple entrances, and constant luggage movement, stating: “This is a complex problem to solve, not simply addressed by putting in a single screening device.” He also observed increased demand for security solutions in international markets such as Mexico, where violence concerns have affected tourism.
