Whether you’ve been in the lodging sector for a few months or 10 years, you likely know that the industry is constantly evolving. From major acquisitions that disrupt the travel and tourism industry as a whole to consumer trends that change how we think about our marketing strategies and plans for the year. There’s no telling what 2023 or the years ahead have in store for the lodging industry (which is kind of exciting, right?).
The only way to stay ahead of the curve is to frequently read sector-specific news, keep up with trends and data, and always be open to networking opportunities.

Do you know how long it would take you to find custom-tailored news every morning? If you decided to do it yourself, you’d spend countless hours reading through different news outlets, articles, and content to find what you’re looking for. Realistically, you’d need to allocate at least one to two hours of your day to stay ahead of all the relevant news you need to succeed.
Let’s be honest – do you have 10 hours a week to dedicate to that?
That’s where Daily Lodging Report comes in.
Daily Lodging Report was created with hospitality leaders in mind. Alan Woinski spends his days and nights reading thousands of daily news stories and turning them into one easy-to-digest daily newsletter, so you don’t need to spend your morning reading through countless publications. We send a one-page daily newsletter that recaps events, mergers, acquisitions, supply chain issues, stock movements, the latest technology and statistics (like revenue management and hotel room occupancy), and the most important developments – on the major hotel chains and lesser-known boutique players alike.
With two different versions, for North America and Asia-Pacific, Daily Lodging Report’s extensive coverage makes it for readers to keep up with the most important happenings around the global hospitality industry.
Skift Future of Lodging Forum brings together the best in the business for an in-depth look at the hotel industry and its future. During this single-day event in London, attendees will learn more about navigating the impact of new consumer behaviors and the avenues for growth that “The Great Guest Experience Upheaval” may present for hotels in the near future.
Attendees will have countless opportunities to connect with creative thinkers and industry leaders. They can fully immerse themselves in the insights and sit down to hear expert opinions from executives at Google, Accor,
