Leisure travel remains strong, but with many travelers going overseas, U.S. hoteliers have had to put more focus on business transient demand if and when it works.
Price sensitivity is top of mind for consumers booking hotel stays, and demand patterns show that some travelers are booking cheaper hotels or staying farther outside of a market's downtown area.
Hoteliers now have more time to focus on sustainable and meaningful operations, career paths for associates and why this is a golden opportunity for the hospitality sector.
The 14th Annual Hotel Data Conference, presented by IDeaS, has sold out for the first time since 2019 with 712 registered attendees for the event on 10-12 August at the Omni Nashville Hotel.
The Hotel Data Conference: Global Edition will feature 78 speakers across 12 hours and five world regions on 25 March 2021.
The event will be held virtually with 12 straight hours of live, data-driven presentations and panels, kicking off in the Asia Pacific region then 'following the sun' with stops in the Middle East, Europe and Central/South America before closing in North America. Attendees also will be able to access a library of pre-recorded content for on-demand viewing.
The 2020 edition of the Hotel Data Conference will feature a hybrid format and limited in-person attendance to accommodate for social distancing measures and travel challenges around the COVID-19 pandemic.
