Good Morning Hospitality is excited to welcome and announce our GMH Europe Crew, Leo Walton, Sarah DuPre, and Raphaele Cline. In this episode, some of the topics include the implications of TripAdvisor blocking 2 million fake reviews in 2023, the benefits of staying local versus rapid expansion in property management, and Booking.com's reevaluation of its sustainability program. The discussion concludes with a look at the importance of authenticity in reviews, the challenges of scaling while maintaining quality and local charm, and the necessity for genuine sustainability efforts in the hospitality industry.
