Now that the shock has worn off...(has it?) Why is the news of Hilton buying Graduate so detrimental to independent hotels? It means one more hotel in your area (and they plan to expand by hundreds) that offer Hilton Honors points. One more that is pulling guests because they want points....and let's face it, Graduate hotels are COOL! This is the ugliest/busiest map ever (don't tell my marketing team 😜 ) but it's so valuable. Look at the THREE highly rated independents in Minneapolis. Can you even find them in the sea of Marriotts, Hiltons, Choice, IHG, etc? Don't worry, I circled them for you. But now, it's only two. PS - MCR Hotels if you want to talk about a program for The Chambers Hotel, let me know 😉 #stayindependent #independenthotels #thebesthotelsareindependenthotels

Finding a way to improve the business is challenging. It's always a rinse-and-repeat method. - Collecting feedbacks - Discuss with the office - Find the solution - Implement the solution - Return to collecting feedback and restart again Rinse and repeat, again and again. Whenever new business opportunities start running, they are still the same. Whether we want to advance or not, it's always a rinse and repeat for the business. #business #feedback #hospitalitybusiness #hospitality #hotels #hotel #foodandbeverages

According to an article in Hotel News Now, group demand is coming back at a stronger clip in 2024, and for some hotel companies it’s shaping up to be a landmark year. HNN reporter Dana Miller interviewed sales leaders at some of the world’s top hotel brands and management groups, including Marriott International, Hilton, Highgate and Davidson Hotels Co to get an outlook on revenue growth for the year—and all pointed to groups as a driving factor in increasing demand in most markets. That’s good news for planners—and with #GroupSync’s ability to simplify the process of shopping, comparing and booking group hotels with both rooms and event space—they can even skip the RFP process in many cases.
