Description
Are Airbnb and other internet platforms real challengers to traditional hotel chains? Does the rise of Amazon and internet shopping spell the end of retail shopping centres as we now know them? What will tomorrow's shopping centres look like? How is this reshaping the high street? How are advanced analytics being used to tailor visitor experiences? How are hotels adapting to meet this challenge? What challenges exist for the platforms themselves, and is increased regulation the answer or just another barrier to entry? How are big data and analytics changing hotels and the hospitality industry? Find out the answers to these questions and more.
