Episode 10 takes time to remind Service Professionals that our focus should be directly related to our guests, both internal and external, rather than worrying about rating organizations. Although it is exciting to earn awards through the various organizations, we need to remember that "it's not about the stars & diamonds!" Instead, it is all about our properties culture of service and what kind of service our paying guests want and expect. https://lnkd.in/erQNmVAP

https://lnkd.in/gYjekBf5 Check out our latest article about the importance of measuring the economic impact of hospitality projects. Financing for hospitality development projects remains challenging for developers and often means that some projects won’t come to fruition without a little help from the municipalities that would like to increase their hospitality offerings to attract travelers while remaining fiscally responsible. When developers seek government assistance for development projects, state and local authorities must balance the needs of developers in the community with the financial realities of the project. In the end, knowing the economic impact of a development is a win-win for developers and municipal stakeholders. #hoteldevelopment #economicimpact #resortdevelopment

Aparium Hotel Group was just voted as the #13 hotel brand in the world, the second ranked US-based group and top ranked group to not operate exclusively in the luxury sector. We first appeared on the list in 2021 - it was frankly surprising. While we had always planned for it, we hadn’t yet focused on a B to C ‘coming out party’ and were deep in the unavoidable post-Covid recalibration while also opening four new hotels. We were humbled if not reassured by our exhaustive efforts and refused to succumb to the industry consolidation efforts sweeping our space. We went right back to doing what we knew best, keeping our heads down and making sure each individual effort and decision validated the end game: to be the best lifestyle hotel brand in the world. As to say, we went back to work. Three years later we are again opening four very special, exceptionally layered, and inevitably timeless Aparium ‘branded’ hotels. And the recognition feels more commensurate with the efforts, as we are deep in making sure our guests connect with Aparium in a very thoughtful way as we begin to roll out more B to C initiatives (stay tuned) across our collection of brands. While I am naysayer to lists in our industry, I have always appreciated the Travel + Leisure Co. Worlds Best Hotel Brands, following closely since I was a student. As a Relais and Chateaux, independent hotel junkie, I applaud that it seeks to recognize and establish that the greatest hospitality brands are about consistency and experience not name. There are eight ‘collection’ brands on this year’s list, including Aparium. It is to further suggest, in the eyes of the modern consumer, replication is dilution. Evolution shall be applauded in an industry that is otherwise slow[er] to evolve. In summary this is a special thank you to our 1,324 associates who made this happen. Our investors (yes, we actually sponsors/develop many of our projects) who have our back, and our dozens of partners/owners and hundreds of collaborators who ‘get it.’ Here’s to being bigger, faster, and stronger. While growing deeper roots. Let’s go.

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, the ability to adapt and lead with vision has never been more critical. I've been reflecting on the importance of staying ahead of the curve and embracing innovative strategies. As leaders, it's our responsibility to not only foresee the changes on the horizon but to actively shape them.By fostering a culture of continuous learning and encouraging diverse perspectives, we can navigate through challenges and seize opportunities. Let's commit to driving forward with resilience and creativity, positioning ourselves and our teams for sustained success.What are your thoughts on the key qualities that define effective leadership in these dynamic times?

With investing and travel booming once again, it's wise to begin planning your developments as early as possible. A healthy strategy involves preparation with foresight and room to make changes along the way without being excessively crunched. The current sentiment is that you can't get started too early. #Investing #Hospitality

Extended-stay continues to dominate the hospitality industry and has become the leader in all markets. Extended-stay hotels have increased the gross operating profit percentage on the monies coming in and helps to increase the profitability that a regular hotel might have. This has certainly caught everyone's attention in the industry. Because the hotel guests are staying longer, these properties are less expensive to operate. Many extended-stay hotels provide weekly rather than daily housekeeping; having fewer daily check-ins and checkouts which enables operators to use fewer employees. Extended-stay hotels are also becoming attractive options for leisure travelers who are tight budget due to higher prices for airfares and restaurants. With no signs of slowing down now is the time to invest in "Choice Hotels Extended Stay" #choicehotels #hotels #extendedstay #68thAnnualConvention #franchisedevelopment

Lookout, there's a new form of ROI in town. Risk of Inaction is a silent threat that can undermine any business, particularly those in this dynamic industry. With David Klemt speaking today about both the 'Risk of Inaction' along with strategic ways to create an 'impactMAP' over at the Flyover Conference in Cincinnati, we thought it'd be a great time to share this deep dive with you. If you're ready to prioritize making a commitment to taking massive, organized action for your business - you will want to give this one a read: https://lnkd.in/g_-6sCYz KRG Hospitality Inc. #Hospitality #Restaurants #Bars #MassiveActionPlan
