Wow. It’s already December! As we gear up for the holiday season just around the corner, the industry is still in full swing (after all, for some, it’s their biggest time of year).
And we’ve come across quite some interesting reads in the past month: Airbnb is making moves towards the broader travel sector, hotels are taking revenue management tips from the airline industry, and AI is slowly creeping further into hotel tech.
Christmas also seems to have come early with the arrival of a great e-book on direct booking and Hotel Yearbook’s special 2017 Hotel Tech edition. Hope you enjoy this month’s roundup!
