Remote Work Now Touches Every Corner of the Lodging Sector
Skift Take
Hospitality leaders at this week’s Skift Future of Lodging Forum had plenty to say about how working trends were crossing over with their respective businesses. Check out this event recap to find out who said what.
Remote work is embedded in the overall lodging sector, going by many speaker insights and observations shared on stage during Skift’s Future of Lodging Forum on Wednesday.
The one-day event, held in London, looked to the future — themes of wellness and experiences resonated in particular. But what was interesting to hear is just how much, across a broad range of sub-sectors, from budget to luxury, the remote worker has made an impact.
Here’s a brief overview of how some of the day’s speakers viewed the landscape.
The Skift Research Take
Kickstarting the forum with her “Experience Economy 2.0” presentation, Skift’s senior research analyst Varsha Arora discussed remote work trends from the outset.
“Work from home might just permanently increase, and the travel behavior around it will keep evolving," she said. "This reshuffling calls for a reboot of version 1.0 (of the experience economy) to version 2.0."
