Ep. 19 - Los Mitos que nos deja la Pandemia
¿El hotel office es el producto del futuro? ¿La vacuna salvará al turismo? ¿Las OTAs son las grandes ganadoras de esta crisis? ¿La digitalización marcara el futuro del turismo? ¿CDMX se va a rojo y Cancún a Verde? Después de pensar, toca reflexionar.

A veces, los grandes corporativos turísticos parecen Marcas en forma de estrellas a los que solo seguir en el firmamento de los precios. Sin embargo, es curioso como en tiempos de crisis se invierten las perspectivas y el grande lucha por hacerse chiquito y el chiquito anhela los recursos del grande. Hoy en la Cantina del Ateneo tenemos la suerte de contar con la presencia de quien organiza y vislumbra el futuro operativo del Grupo Hotelero mas grande de latinoamérica, Enrique Calderón, VicePresidente de Operaciones de Grupo Posadas.

El Europeo aboga por la permisividad y el proteccionismo del turismo nacional pero el confinamiento en el rebrote. En México, Brasil y México parece que la recuperación económica es proporcialmente inversa al descenso de casos. ¿Descenso de casos? ¿Habrá marcha a trás como en Europa? o ¿Se antoja imposible? ¿Tan imposible cómo qué de todos los imposibles posibles del 2020?
