Here are the articles hoteliers have read the most over the past few months. It is not driven by algorithms or recency. It reflects the topics that genuinely captured industry attention. If you want a quick pulse on what your peers are focusing on, this is the place to start.
The visibility game just got serious for hoteliers
For years, hotel marketers knew the rules. Invest in SEO. Optimize your website. Climb the rankings. Win the click. But the game has changed. Here’s why the integration of Wayfinder into Cendyn CMS is the literal game-changer for hotels’ Find, Book, and Grow strategies. Guests are no longer starting every journey on search engines. They’re asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity where to stay, what hotels to consider, and which properties best match their needs. But there’s a problem with this. Most hotels have no idea…

Split the Difference
I think it’s time we cleared the air on a fundamental distinction that often gets blurred in the frantic pace of our industry. I’m talking about the divide between being “in the business” and being “on the business”—specifically the cavernous gap between managing hospitality and mastering the technology that should be driving it. You see, I live permanently in the world of industry technology. It’s not a sideline; it’s my environment. Every waking hour of my week is spent researching, considering application, helping tools…

Hopeless
The sheer number of software demonstrations I sit through where the vendor manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is utterly staggering.

Anyone for tennis?
I was scrolling through the latest digital detritus this morning and stumbled upon a clip of a robotic tennis pro out of China. We’ve seen the Boston Dynamics dogs and the back-flipping humanoids, but this thing was different. It was on the court, forehand and backhand in sync, moving with a mechanical grace that would make a club pro nervous. As I watched it track a lob, my mind started wandering—as it often does—into the territory of the “can-do” and the purely practical. Let’s be honest: finding a reliable tennis partner…
