In this episode with Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk, the discussion centers on Hilton's acquisition of Graduate Hotels to enhance its lifestyle portfolio, IHG Hotels & Resorts's initiative to equip its North American hotels with EV charging stations in response to the EV boom, and the impact of the gig economy on hotel staffing, highlighting the shift towards flexible, project-based employment.

Sarah and Steve also delve into emerging travel trends for 2024, including a surge in solo and adventure travel, as well as the growing interest in "sleep tourism," where hotels offer programs aimed at enhancing guests' sleep quality.
