Genuine Hotel Sustainability Unrealistic Without Strong Leadership
Hi, welcome to another Coffee Time Chat
This is the first video in a series we are doing with Strategic Solution Partners, where we take a look at Sustainability in the hotel industry.
NB: Strategic Solution Partners are one of our Expert Partners
Across this series we will be looking at different aspects of sustainability in hotels and asking are we seeing genuine sustainability efforts or are we falling into the greenwashing trap.
Joining us to share their views and experience are David Kasten and Mark Sherwin
For this discussion we are focusing on the operational side of a hotel. We ask:
What does sustainability actually mean
With inflation, high interest rates and staffing issues can we actually prioritise sustainability initiatives at this present time
If we can prioritise them, what are some of the short term, low hanging fruit, ideas hotels could look to adopt
Taking a more strategic viewpoint, how should we approach medium and longer term projects
And finally we ask, are we seeing genuine leadership in this are or is it more of a tick box exercise to hit regulations and give the hotel PR team something to talk about.
Really hope you enjoy the conversation 👍🏻

Overcoming Hurdles to More Hotel Meetings and Group Revenue?
Hi, welcome to another Expert Insights Discussion
With recent articles about Meetings and Group business finally starting to fill hotel rooms, we thought it might be interesting to discuss how increased groups and meetings business might impact hotels, especially when you consider the ongoing staff shortage and the challenge faced in trying to respond to more group enquiries.
And why understanding how revenue management applies in relation to group business, is ever more important especially when trying to balance group business against individual bookings and identifying the most profitable mix.
So we have recorded a 2 video series where we look at the importance of hotel meetings and group revenue.
Joining us on to offer their insights are:
🔹 Peter Brauer of Get Into MoRe
🔹 Mark Struik of Please ask m
Today, in video 1, we specifically look at why hotels might not focus on meetings revenue as much as they should do and what are some of the barriers when trying to embrace meetings revenue management.
NB: Get Into MoRe are one of our Expert Partners

Hotel Digital Marketing: Is Data Helping You Ask the Right Questions?
Hi, welcome to another of our demo time discussions
Today we are talking about the impact to hotels of combining multiple digital marketing datasets.
To offer their insights we are joined by
🔹 Stephanie Smith Founder & Digital Matriarch at Cogwheel Marketing, the company behind Cogwheel Analytics and one of our Expert Partners
Through the discussion Stephanie will outline her views on why hoteliers can leverage this data more effectively, she will also demonstrate the Cogwheel Analytics solution.
We look at the challenges faced when trying to pull different information from multiple sources and the value of aggregating data from your website marketing, paid social, OTA efforts, etc. all in one place.
Stephanie also highlights how the vast majority of data is extracted from the PMS and the limitations of this only showing what has been booked - and asks what is actually happening before the booking is made?
We also explore how adopting this technology can start to turn the view from purely internal analytics to external benchmarking and scorecards i.e. are we on pace with other competitor hotels? Is our hotel getting it's fair share from Google? Is our ROI comparable to other similar properties?
Really hope you enjoy the conversation 👍🏻
