I am seeing many new companies and innovations emerging at an unprecedented pace, disrupting traditional models and introducing fresh ideas. At the recent VRMA conference in Phoenix, I was struck by the sheer number of companies, nearly two dozen, that were either new to me or that I hadn't engaged with before. From an abundance of 'book direct' platforms to the surge of businesses integrating AI as the backbone of their operations, it's clear that innovation is alive and well in our industry. I'm excited to delve deeper into these innovations by connecting with the founders and visionaries behind them in the coming weeks, months, and years. This week, I'm privileged to meet with Alex Husner, who is no stranger to the show, a seasoned marketing leader who has recently embarked on a new venture that's making waves 🌊 in the industry. One of the biggest challenges accommodation providers face today is enhancing the guest journey while balancing cutting-edge technology and human touch. In this episode, we dive into that very challenge, exploring how an innovative platform like Happy Guest revolutionises guest communication and satisfaction. I truly believe that implementing the right technology at the right moments can transform the guest experience and, in turn, elevate your business to new heights.
