"𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 positions have been a major 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and digitization in the hotel industry" ~Dina Belon, President Staypineapple Diversity is more than a moral obligation, it's good business. Thank you Dina for pointing out how critical it is to have women in important decision making roles to drive innovation forward. ❓ Think about it...when the same hotel executives convene with the same tech sales reps at the same places year over year, what do you expect to happen? 💡The answer? Nothing. The industry becomes an 'old boys club' where new ideas and new innovations are snuffed out before they have a chance. 🌈 A lack of diversity is directly responsible for the hotel industry's chronic underinvestment in technology relative to other industries. Bringing in leadership of different races, religions, nationalities, genders and even educations (we need more than just hotel school and real estate people) is absolutely critical for our industry to survive and thrive.
