A "Stub-Your-Toe" Recession?

In this episode, recorded on August 11, 2023, Tell Me More's Isaac Collazo and Jan Freitag agree that a recession isn't necessarily in the cards, and even if it's a "stub-your-toe" type of recession that doesn't hurt much, the hotel industry is well-insulated against major disruptors. The discussion also covers Collazo and Freitag's takes on demand shifts at the low and high ends of travel, and what the eventual return of international inbound travel to the U.S. might look like.
