Quote of the week from Hotel Investment Today “The lesson many owners learned the hard way during the pandemic is that the flexibility and adaptability of contracts are vital when market circumstances change quickly. This is not about the ability to replace a supplier, vendor or partner with a less expensive alternative but being able to engage and find workable solutions that serve the best interests of the business.” – Roger Allen, RLA Global
