Stefan sees this time as an opportunity to streamline hotel operations while doubling down on important initiatives, such as sustainability. Communication and transparency will be key to a successful recovery. #langham #skiftsummit #hotelrecovery #digitaledu

Stefan believes the discipline of wearing masks has allowed Hong Kong to manage the pandemic more effectively as they provide people with a constant reminder to stay alert. #langham #skiftsummit #hotelrecovery #digitaledu

Will business or leisure travel drive the recovery? According to Stefan, we’ll see both. “Weekends are very clearly leisure… but don’t expect business travel to return to the levels prior to the pandemic anytime soon.” #langham #skiftsummit #hotelrecovery #digitaledu

Hong Kong - Our Home https://t.co/IbIlOQ15hc via @YouTube was launched by the Heritage Tourism Brands in December 2019. Stefan Leser: "If we join forces to promote Hong Kong, it can only make us all benefit." #iconichongkong #skiftsummit #digitaledu

Managing costs as hotels reopen is proving to be more challenging than when they were closed. Fluctuating occupancy levels require flexibility to stay profitable. #langham #skiftsummit #hotelrecovery #digitaledu

Just as expectations changed for air travel, Stefan sees guests adapting to the new normal. Prior to 9/11, the focus was getting through the airport and onto your plane quickly. Now we expect delays as safety is a greater priority. #langham #skiftsummit #hotelrecovery #digitaledu

Stefan Leser, CEO of Langham Hospitality Group, says his hotels use smart technologies to reduce physical touch and focus on delivering guest experiences in new ways to ensure their peace of mind. #langham #skiftsummit #hotelrecovery #digitaledu
