It is interesting that there is a difference between us and the The House met at half-past Two o’clock United States.

Tourism and Hospitality Trends (2017)
bTourism, Culture & Hospitality Managing changes in a unsettled economic climate Tourism and hospitality trends 2017 July 2017 Editorial 01 A turbulent year marked by continued insecurity 02 Dynamic regional cities 06 Contrasting trends in the French hotel sector 10 Hotels are improving their environmental performance at every level 14 Museums and heritage sites – strategies to attract Millennials 20 The uberisation of the hotel industry – new consumer behaviour 26 In 2017, budgeting hotels’ local taxes with reform of rental values 32 Human capital – a question of sector appeal and customer satisfaction 36 Our services, your contacts 39 Tourism and Hospitality trends Editorial This decade may not be over yet – far from it! – but it is likely that the years from 2010 to 2020 will be seen as a period of upheaval, during which the adaptability of the tourist sector will have been severely tested. Major structural changes are underway, driven by the rapid development in technologies and their growing place in our personal and professional lives. Customer expectations have also changed: concerns about sustainability and our environmental footprint, the desire for personalisation and "destandardisation" of products and services, the quest for sociability and a new kind of relationship with service providers, the expectation of versatile and multi-functional spaces, etc. These changes are having an impact on products and services in the hotel industry, which are being adapted, transformed and reinvented through the emergence of innovative concepts. They are also being felt in marketing (via the internet, on tablets and smartphones, via social networks, etc.), training of staff (who are being released from a wide range of administrative tasks to focus instead on being hosts and advisors) and cost management. -
Building a New Economy Where People Really Take Control an Agenda for Change
BUILDING A NEW ECONOMY WHERE PEOPLE REALLY TAKE CONTROL AN AGENDA FOR CHANGE A LETTER FROM OUR CEO Dear friends, This summer has been a uniquely difficult one for many of us committed to the cause of a new economy, especially with Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. But one thing is now clear. There has never been a greater need for a new economy or a more important moment to act than right now, because a storm that has been gathering for decades is firmly upon us. A torrent of wealth and power is washing away the fragile footholds established over the past century with money, information and people becoming ever more mobile in a global and now digital economy. Too many feel they have lost control over their lives and are now being left behind by changes in the economy, technology and climate even while being promised false solutions or a parody of control that threatens to make matters worse. Yet, in the midst of all this upheaval, a surge of energy is being generated that can crack open new possibilities for change, and change now, not at some distant point in the future. The New Economics Foundation exists to drive this change and give people the tools they need to take real control. We reject the old model of think tanks. We know change does not begin in the corridors of power. And the summit of our ambition is bigger than solely influencing legislation or hoping to get included in a political party’s manifesto. -
