Changing up the concept of “Flex Space” with Connect CRE 🔄 Jason Fudin, CEO and co-founder of Placemakr, is redefining what flex space means in today’s market. According to Jason, flexibility is all about offering varied options instead of sticking to a one-size-fits-all approach. At Placemakr, this means providing clients with a choice between empty or fully furnished apartments and offering virtual and in-person check-in experiences. But it doesn’t stop there. Flex space is also about adaptability in usage. For office environments, it could involve seamlessly transitioning between office and conference setups. In retail, it means effortlessly swapping out stores without major renovations. As the concept of flex space evolves, it's clear that meeting customers where they are and providing adaptable solutions is key to staying ahead. 🚀 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gfRtwyac

Is facial recognition the new face of hospitality? According to LODGING Magazine it’s revolutionizing the guest experience. The hospitality industry increasingly turns to biometrics to streamline check-in, check-out, and payment processes, enhancing guest experiences while addressing staffing challenges. With privacy concerns being addressed and improved protections in place, facial recognition is set to see greater adoption in 2024 and 2025. It offers higher accuracy and lower disease transmission risk compared to fingerprint technology. Solutions like CyberLink's FaceMe enable seamless check-ins via smartphones and self-service kiosks. Beyond access control and payments, biometrics can even assess guest satisfaction through emotion detection. As technology costs decrease and public comfort with biometrics grows, wider adoption is on the horizon. https://lnkd.in/gbZAV4gU

According to Travel And Tour World, summer surges drive an upward trajectory for travel and hospitality in the US.

The high demand for travel and leisure services, boosted by the summer vacation season and a resurgence in tourism, has spurred the need for more staff. Factors such as pent-up travel demand, rescheduled events, and an emphasis on enhancing customer experiences are driving this growth.

According to CoStar Group, flexibility and profitability help extended-stay hotels hold owner and operator interest. During the pandemic, extended-stay hotels experienced a surge in demand due to increased government travel and the rise of remote work, according to Parul Suri, VP of Sales and Revenue at Placemakr. “It was just a better way for people to travel,” she noted. While this year has seen a slight dip in performance—primarily due to rising airline travel costs affecting family trips—extended-stay hotels continue to prove their worth. They offer flexibility and profitability, making them a sustainable and attractive segment for hotel owners and operators. The trend toward longer stays and the need for adaptable travel solutions highlight the enduring appeal of extended-stay accommodations. The sector remains a strong choice for those looking to capitalize on evolving travel habits. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gCMZSRYw
