Gucci and Louis Vuitton are Millennials’ favourite brands, according to a survey and social-media data analysed by UBS, but which luxury hotel brands are the right ones for Millennials? This is the task being undertaken by the Modul Brand Award and the winner will be announced at the International Hotel Investment Conference on November 7th 2019, in Vienna, Austria.
Roger Allen, RLA Global CEO joined the recent Modul Brand Award Supervisory Board meeting held at Hotel Sacher, Vienna where the research and data analysis so-far was further reviewed.
The Modul Brand Award has been established in 2016 to distinguish the most innovative Hotel Operation focusing on the fastest-growing group of consumers: Millennials. This group wields increasing power and economic influence in all corners of the business world, and the global hospitality industry is no exception. As a group, Millennials and their buying power have become a fascinating challenge. The leading question for the 2019 project is related to the travel habits and the requirements for the perfect luxury stay for this generation.
