The "factory farming" of luxury hotels
& why we will be getting more mediocre yet expensive hotels
Good evening and happy Friday everyone,
Thank you to everyone who wrote to me about this interview I published yesterday with Erina Pindar at SmartFlyer. In particular, it seems like people are interested in learning more about how AI will impact how high end travelers make trip decisions. I’m looking forwards to exploring more on how AI will impact high end hospitality as an industry this year, as I know it’s top of mind for many of you. Questions or topics for discussion? Reply directly to this email.
