Will The Industry Be Ready For Revenge Travel?
We've heard a lot about this build-up of travel demand called "Revenge Travel" and how there will be a big boom when things open up and people feel safe. The true question is, will hotels & restaurants have the staff and proper preparations to serve this wild rush? Will, the industry on a global scale, see when this will happen, or will we wake up to our guests waiting outside our doors hungry for good service and experiences?

This week on Good Morning Hospitality, we discuss how the road to recovery has possibly shifted for the hospitality industry. The vaccine is not rolling out as fast or efficient as expected. The hospitality experience for the guest might not be as appealing if everything is closed.

Moving Forward, 2021
Welcome to the future... okay, maybe not the future because there are no flying cars (yet) and all that good stuff, but we are now in 2021, and unfortunately, the events from 2020 aren't going away in the snap of a finger.
Join us this week as we continue in the ongoing conversation of hospitality and the future we see coming to life. Last week, the three of us discussed our year in review and did some reflection; now, we are looking ahead and moving forward.
