GMH Hotels: The $35.7 Billion Side of Hospitality Nobody Talks About

On this week's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast: Hotels Edition, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk are joined by Jason Gamel, President and CEO of ARDA, to talk vacation ownership, where the industry is headed, and what the data actually shows about owner satisfaction and sector health. From there, Sarah and Steve get into AI-generated video giving small hotel operators a marketing edge they never had before, why boutique hotel founders almost always sell and the ones who plan for it win, and Airbnb's appointment of a former Booking.com hotel executive and ex-president of Viator as its new Chief Business Officer.
