Wondering what to expect when it comes to elite benefits for your hotel status during the COVID-19 crisis? I am, too. I'm joined this week by Kevin Carter, who oversees a portfolio of full-service, limited service and select service hotels from popular brands like Hilton and IHG.
Before that, we've got 2 new bits this week:
Does the Chase Sapphire Reserve have a new, temporary 5X category?
Travel bookings and searches are both down. Are people scared to travel?
Spirit Airlines will sell you just about everything you need to fly, including your COVID-19 protection???
The most elegant lady in the air, the Queen of the Skies Boeing 747, will be halting production in the near future.
My guest this week is Kevin Carter, a 40-year veteran of the hospitality industry. I've spent plenty of time wondering what to expect when I do finally start traveling again. What does a free breakfast look like in the world of COVID-19 (early reports aren't good)?
Kevin shares some insights from a hotel owner's perspective on what we should expect in the future.
