We're excited to announce that Lou Zameryka has been re-elected to the Board of Vista Cay Resort in Orlando, Florida! We talk a lot about hotels at Ventures Hospitality, but Lou is also a seasoned short term rental real estate investor who has served as a member of the Vista Cay board for the past 3 years.?With over 1,000 condos and townhomes, Vista Cay is one of Orlando's premier vacation rental destinations. Lou's continued leadership on the board reinforces Ventures Hospitality's ongoing active involvement in the vibrant and evolving short-term rental market. https://lnkd.in/gCt8MFXM #vacationrentals #shorttermrentals #realestate #leadership #Orlando #VistaCay

Gen Z thinks email is an antique form of communication, destined to sit alongside rotary phones and Blackberries in the museum of outdated tech. Are they right? Out of the hundreds of daily emails we all receive, every once in a while, one stands out. Take this one from TripAdvisor—apparently, the newest player in the fashionable athleisure game. Is this a masterful brand partnership, cross-promoting at the intersection of fitness wear and global travel? Or is it the result of an overloaded algorithm following a season of Christmas shopping? At Ventures Hospitality, we deeply value what TripAdvisor has done for travel reviews. We regularly use the site to ensure our hotels are delivering stellar guest experiences. We’re also impressed by their recent partnership with Perplexity AI to redefine travel planning through cutting-edge artificial intelligence, offering personalized and dynamic insights. But as all travel brands know, email marketing isn’t what it used to be. We’d love to see more micro-campaigns driving targeted engagement among travel shoppers—and maybe a bit less inbox clutter. Email is dead. Long live email.

We think this title meant to read "Likely Hero" Lou Zameryka aka Captain America is a great inspiration and friend to many. We're glad to see him getting kudos from new sectors in our industry and Hospitality ESL

As the sun sets on the old year and rises on a new one, we at Ventures Hospitality take a moment to reflect on the journey we've traveled together. We extend our congratulations to our partner companies for their incredible achievements this year. We anticipate continued success and collaboration with both our current and new partners in 2025. Mews secures $110 million in funding, reaching a valuation of $1.2 billion. Lighthouse successfully raises $370 million in Series C funding. Wundermart expands into the U.S. market, making their first hire in Florida. Our success is built on the support of our partners, colleagues, family and friends. To each of you, we say thank you. Happy New Year from all of us at Ventures Hospitality! #HospitalityTech #HotelConsulting

We love the innovation we are seeing coming out of the European hospitality industry. A few of our clients are EU based and we are helping them grow in the U.S. We believe the higher proportion of independent hotels and small brands is providing a healthy landscape for new ideas. Let us know if you agree.

Great to have Venture's own Lou Zameryka featured on Hospitality Daily!

"Hotel Hell" sounds like an operator's worst nightmare. Maybe a GM's fever dream after two weeks without a day off? Or maybe just a bold new type of marketing activation? https://lnkd.in/gn25BhGH https://lnkd.in/gjEkmpmN - news article #hotels #halloween #hotelmanagement #nope
