In this week’s episode we’re joined by Tom Oakden from Hilltop Hospitality Advisors to discuss results and deal murmurings – of which there are plenty. This packed podcast considers the enthusiasm for regional displayed by Pandox, asset repositioning and risk taking to produce strong results – a tea dance in the conference basement perhaps? Expedia’s results revealed the removal of vacation rental brand Vrbo from Google as strong demand drives direct booking and finally we deliberate consolidation amongst investors as they take comfort in the recovery story of hotels and merrily build up their platforms.
As we recorded this conversation on Pancake Day, we also, obviously, stocktake the shelves of M&S Paris and revisit the time Tom was traumatically hoodwinked by beetroot.
