RLA Global Group CEO took part in The R&R Advisory Board meeting virtually on the 24th of February to discuss the major trends leading to the recovery of the leisure hospitality sector.

In a meeting hosted by Alexi Khajavi, Mark Cheney, and Julie Rey-Gore, the panel shared their insights on the new travel and development trends, investor sentiment and stakeholder alignment in the new landscape.
