I left Brewster, MA, this morning after spending some time with almost 70 innkeepers at the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce Bed and Breakfast Conference. What a great time! A big thank you goes to Carol Edmondson if Innkeeping Specialists (President of the CCCC Bed and Breakfast Committee) and Wendy Norcross (CEO of the Chamber) for inviting me…and to Charlotte and Stu Fyfe at the Candleberry Inn for hosting me on my two-night stay at the Cape.
I delivered a presentation on “Innkeeping Today and Tomorrow,” which covered innkeeping industry performance, the economy’s impact on our industry and trends in lodging and traveler behaviors and wishes. I delved into a bit of reputation management and online reviews, seeing that I was on my way to the TripAdvisor headquarters the next day (meeting was today…and a blog post is forthcoming).
