HOSPITALITY LEADERSHIP FORUM

Following the e77 business trip to the International Hotel Show in Dubai, we say that one trend is as clear as day: forget those hotel rating stars! This rating system is losing its weight and value, in part due to the fact that no one can agree what exactly the stars represent. Star rating systems can vary from region to region, country to country, or even within countries. There was time when a four-star rating was the marker of luxury. Then it was five stars, then six, seven... Now, the global hospitality market is taking a different turn.

 

In the first photo: During my first day at the Hotel Show in Dubai I discovered that Lithuanian hospitality sector should learn not to be afraid to hire employees from the other countries. It works!
