RIP BookingSuite: Protecting Your Hotel’s Digital Assets
Vikram Singh | November 4, 2020
By Vikram Singh On November 30th of this year, Booking/Priceline is shutting down its BookingSuite product, likely affecting hundreds of hotels worldwide. In short, they will stop running websites, booking engines, and revenue management software for their hotel clients. Even with the volume of hotels they amassed on their platform, the headache is clearly not worth it to them anymore. Sadly, they timed the shutdown during the toughest year on record for the hotel and travel industry. In addition to dealing with the pandemic, hotels on their platform now need to gather their digital assets and go vendor hunting. That’s not an easy task e

Preliminary 2021 Lodging Industry Forecast
Robert Rauch | November 3, 2020
[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehDvSoNCbE4&feature=youtu.be[/embed] By Robert Rauch We have made some assumptions for 2021 – first, Q4 2020 and Q1 2021 will remain flat as corporate business begins to build just as leisure business begins to decline. Second, a stimulus package is imminent right after the election, regardless who wins. The politics of this election, coupled with the divisiveness of the nation, has disrupted everything except for the stock market. Third, gross domestic product will increase about 3% after being down close to 5% in 2020. Our favorite economist, Bernard Baumohl sees a Biden victory as better fo
