In Focus: Looking to the future

Alexi Khajvai joins us this week with Elaine Simon, Senior Managing Editor for Hotel Management, to discuss the big news in the USA as "Trump leaves under a dark cloud", what will this mean for hoteliers? Will a Biden presidency be good for brand USA? And what impact will it have on international tourism?

Brands beware: "Watch out here they come" as Sonesta racks up 1200 hotels, 13 brands and "a pretty powerful franchise platform".

Alexi and Elaine also discuss the latest developments from the creative Process C-19 initiative and we hear from Julie Rey-Gore who sat down with Paul Pisani, Senior Vice President of Hotel Development at Corinthia Hotels, to discuss the developments they have in the pipeline and what luxury means in 2021.
