Summary

1) Is the hotel industry actually catering to the needs of millennials?

2) How will current regulations affect the hotel and home-sharing markets in 2019?

3) Are hotels having to redefine their point of view to cater to consumers?

4) Why are major lifestyle brand names jumping into CRE? And what effect will they have on the traditional players?

5) Hoteliers or consumers -- who is more likely to "bend the knee"? 

6) How much more of the hotel market can home-sharing businesses like Airbnb expect to absorb? 

7) What exactly qualifies as Boutique in today's every-changing climate?
