We can’t believe it’s been 5 years since our very first meeting as the ILHA Board! Starting as the North East Chapter and growing into the National Operations Board, we’re thrilled to have expanded not only geographically but also in the level of talent and excellence joining our team of professionals. This photo is especially meaningful to us. Taken on March 12, 2020, it marks the day after the world changed. It was the last in-person meeting we could have for months before it was safe to travel and connect face-to-face again. A truly special moment, and one that reminds us of the resilience and dedication of our community. Here’s to 5 incredible years of growth, collaboration, and progress. Connect with us today as we continue shaping the future together! #Leadership #ILHA #ThoughtLeadership

Too often, we define travelers by their generation. But as Ron Pohl, President of WorldHotels points out, spending habits and expectations vary far more than we think. One of the biggest surprises? Luxury travelers with a net worth under $1M are a key segment. Meanwhile, Baby Boomers—once dominant—now make up less than 20% of the market. And here’s the real challenge: even within the same generation, travelers have completely different needs. It’s not about labels—it’s about knowing what truly matters to each guest. ??

From tackling systemic inequities to building a people-first approach, Impact Hospitality is a must-read for leaders ready to make a meaningful difference. With stunning photography by Baltimore’s own Ryan Rhodes (DJ Impulse), this book is both thought-provoking and visually inspiring. ?? Discover how cultural authenticity, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership can transform industries and lives.? https://lnkd.in/gC_ms4CF #HospitalityLeaders #PurposeDrivenLeadership #CommunityBusinesses
