HospitalityLawyer Stephen Barth: Social and Economic Issues for Hotels, Restaurants: Time to Travel

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

I am concerned about  the conversations I have been having with hospitality corporate executives.  Many of them are saying that they have had their travel budgets reduced or even “slashed,” all the while they are trying to entice the public to get out and travel.

This is the time the hospitality industry to needs to lead the way on travel.

We need to travel for business development, conferences, conventions and training.

Now is the most critical time for us to show to our customers the value of travel and face to face interaction.

As a $3.5 trillion dollar industry, when we talk, people around the world listen, and, indeed, now is the time to find our voice and lead the way out of this economic slowdown by doing and not just saying.
