September 18, 2022

Maximize the Guest Experience
There’s no doubt about it – hospitality is big business. The travel and tourism sector in the US alone generated over one and a half trillion dollars in 2015, employing more than seven and a half million people – roughly one out of every 18 Americans works, either directly or indirectly, in an industry that is related to travel or tourism. This seems to be increasing each year with business travel and related events, like conventions, being where the most growth will come from. That means a lot of people from all walks of life will be coming through your doors, all of them needing different things at different times.
