They demand on speed, convenience, value, integrated omni-channel experiences. 💁♂️As a result, the starting point of all HOWs is really to understand what your target customers are looking for and how they behave digitally, then explore creative ways to attract, engage and retain them. 📱We all know that our customer journey is moving almost fully to digital now. From planning and researching a destination, to booking a hotel room, to enjoying the stay experiences, to post-stay engagement. There is no one for all solution, we talk about AI all the time, but I would urge us to keep in mind that we should not just jump on the newest trend because it is the newest, we accelerate #digitalinnovation based on what our customers want. #TheHouseCollective
