The headlines coming out of this week's NYU Conference were overwhelmingly positive: stronger demand, improving forecasts, and signs that a recovery is occurring in the mid-markets.

But does stronger revenue automatically translate to stronger profitability?

In his latest CEO Perspective, Otelier CEO Rob Lawrence explores several of the biggest questions facing hotel owners and operators today:

📌 Why profitability – not demand – will be the industry's biggest challenge in the second half of 2026
📌 What the FIFA World Cup is teaching hoteliers about pricing strategy and compressed booking windows
📌 How AI is creating new sources of demand while raising new questions about labor and operating costs

The outlook is improving. The challenge now is turning revenue growth into sustainable profitability.

Stronger demand and the World Cup are creating optimism across hospitality, but rising costs and questions around AI present difficult decisions ahead.

How many systems do you log into each day to understand how your hotels are performing?

For many operators, the answer is too many.

At HITEC, the Otelier team will demonstrate how hotel organizations are centralizing data from PMS, POS, labor, accounting, benchmarking, guest feedback, and hundreds of other systems into one trusted platform.

With more than 440 active integrations, Otelier helps hoteliers spend less time gathering data and more time acting on it.

Most hotel teams have access to more data than ever before.

So why do so many still struggle to make faster, more confident decisions?

In our latest conversation, Jeremy Gilston of Woodworth Group discusses how hotel owners, investors, and advisors use data to understand market performance and make smarter investment decisions.

🗣️ "Data is gold, but you have to make meaning of it. You have to pull it together and come up with the big picture."

Watch the full interview to hear Jeremy's perspective on the future of hotel data, the untapped potential of guest review analytics, and how AI could help operators turn human sentiment into actionable insights.
