During the Hospitality Summit, we collected about 40 ideas. After we had selected our top 4, a large number of ideas naturally remained. We would like to share these ideas with you in a series where we present 10 of them in each post.
Space was limited for each idea on the submission card, so they are all rather non-specific. They are also listed in no particular order, and we would like to thank everyone for submitting their ideas.
