We reflect on the impact of the pandemic, how it has led us to where we are today and the new crisis facing the hotel industry in the future.
We discuss:
- The principal impacts for Best Western and the wider hospitality industry.
- How domestic tourism has profited from border closures.
- How guest expectations have altered and how hoteliers need to think differently about the delivery of their services in the future.
- How the commercial functions of marketing and revenue management changed now and into the future.
- How these factors have impacted the organizational structure and management.
- How hotels are managing the current staff shortage the opportunities for aspiring professionals at Best Western Hotels.
