You’re Overthinking Customer Service! (Luxury Hospitality Gets It Right)

We had people that were afraid to come back to the workforce because they were worried about getting someone who was compromised and their family sick, their children sick. And there was a lot of fear, not only for travel, but people that worked in the industry.

You’re Overthinking Customer Service! (Luxury Hospitality Gets It Right)

And as you know, I'm very involved in the technology community with the HFTP, which is the Hospitality Finance and Technology Professionals Association. And the use of bots and AI is something that is up and coming. And many other industries have been early adopters in those items. And the hotels are coming along in it.

You’re Overthinking Customer Service! (Luxury Hospitality Gets It Right)

And I do think that there's many people that would disagree with me that technology has a place in luxury. But it truly does when you think that people can actually choose the path that they're going to take. It gives them more flexibility to find the best fit for them.
