Sara Glenn, Chief Operating Officer, Canada, Caribbean, Mexico & Central America at Accor is optimistic for the remainder of this year even though it is a "work in progress."
In her Spotlight On interview, she goes on to say that it has been "during this very challenging time that we saw a necessary opportunity to reexamine our operations and focus on what is critical for all of our guests, employees, owners, and brands, and to simplify to be able to meet the changing needs of our stakeholders while still providing incredible experiences."
"Our guests are seeking out differentiated and enriching travel experiences, more authenticity, and meaning especially through local discovery."
Samantha Hardcastle writes a piece on how tumultuous change is a catalyst for nostalgia, with most people romanticizing the past. "It's a huge part of the human experience, with nearly 15 million photos tagged with #Nostalgia, and 54 million photos tagged with #ThrowbackThursday on Instagram."
She draws parallels between travel and nostalgia saying "one of the greatest appeals of travel is to step into a place only to be transported to a completely different point in time" and encourages teams to explore "the moment in time we wish to transport our guests to, and what are the sights, smells, songs, even inanimate objects."
