Being an independent hotelier is hard.

Sometimes it can feel like you don't have the infrastructure, resources, and knowledge you need to stay afloat or keep growing.

Preferred Hotels & Resorts is the world's largest independent hotel brand, representing more than 700 distinctive hotels, resorts, residences, and unique hotel groups across 80 countries. So, they know a thing or two about supporting independent hoteliers. And this week we have Christopher Ahlgrim, who is the Vice President of Development at Preferred Travel Group. We talk about the evolution of the Preferred Travel Group and how they successfully manage independent properties and equip and support hoteliers.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why luxury hotels need to get refocused on service again
How independent hoteliers can increase their sustainability efforts
About what the Preferred Travel Group does and how they impact independent hoteliers
