Holdbacks lock away substantial funds for travel companies and can therefore be highly damaging to liquidity. High-profile collapses and the COVID-19 crisis have driven acquirers to impose harsher terms or quit the travel sector completely.

Hospitality has become a very popular topic in the senior living field. Communities featuring bistros and beer taps and the amenities of a fine hotel are popping up all around the country. Hospitality is seen as an approach that can attract baby boomers and eliminate the institutional feel that exists in many traditional communities. Indeed, the hospitality model has brought us more freedom and choice in services, higher quality dining experiences and less institutional designs. However, simply applying the concepts and operational structures of a hotel or resort without considering the significant differences inherent in senior living can backfire by undermining purpose and a sense of community.
