Accommodations Outlook: Reviewing the Current Landscape and Suggest Programme Strategies for 2024
As the accommodation sector recovers we have seen an imbalance between supply and demand impacting pricing and relationships in addition to sector challenges on staffing and service levels. But what can we expect for the year ahead across key regions and what are the trends that we need to be aware of across the sector?
In this session, we’re going to examine current industry trends, and deliver analysis on year-to-date 2023 data. Plus, we’ll share guidance on how you can adjust strategy now to make the most of 2024 and beyond.
