Artigo publicado primeiro no site: R7.com Strong Leadership Team, Core Values Will Aid in Recovery - Adam Perkowsky | Hotel Business NATIONAL REPORT—In the latest edition of “The Forum: An AHLA Experience” webinar series, Chip Rogers, American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) president/CEO, was joined by Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Mark Hoplamazian, president/CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, to discuss leadership and its role during the pandemic and a time of civil unrest. For Lightfoot, who noted that she came into office “facing a record deficit, a teacher strike and then a global pandemic, and on top of it civic unrest in the streets,” what has enabled her to weather the storm is the strength of her team. “You’ve got to have a team with vision, fortitude and the ability to adapt to an ever-changing environment,” she said. “Nothing that we’ve experienced, particularly in the last six months, anybody could have predicted, and we’ve endured more challenges than any city normally would in a generation, let alone in six months. And the thing that I know has sustained me as a leader and really kept me going is the strength of the team around me.” Hoplamazian echoed the mayor’s thoughts on team strength and added, “At Hyatt, I would say the other dimension that’s served us extremely well and has been essential is our own purpose: that is a higher purpose that we aspire to, which is to care for people so they can be their best. That purpose has actually been our guiding light as we have managed through what has turned into a significant adjustment.” The Hyatt CEO then brought up two things that have been important to him and his company during this time of crisis. “On a personal level and on behalf of my colleagues, I have focused on well-being and self-care as an essential piece of the equation. Yes, there’s a lot of focus on the physical well-being aspects in relation to the virus, but also really paying attention to mental well-being, and emotional and psychological well-being,” he said. “There’s also definitely a focus on the community. I’m really blessed to be a leader of a company in Chicago. The Chicago business community is uniquely engaged and unified in trying to help the mayor and other organizations advance the interest in Chicago. Like every other major city in the U.S., Chicago has had a significant number of challenges with respect to employment levels, the virus and the economy. What the effort around Chicago has yielded is a lot of connections to other business leaders, which has been very beneficial.” Mayor Lightfoot brought up that it is “critically important to make sure you don’t lose sight of your values,” adding, “What we’ve been focused on is making sure that we keep our values—equity, inclusion and making sure that we build literal wealth but also emotional wealth across the city—front and center. It’s hard to do, and there’s obviously price tags that are attached to all those. But if you if you lose sight of your values in a crisis, you’re going to be lost, and when you come out of it, if you come out of it, you’re going to have to start literally from from ground zero; you lose legitimacy both internally with your people, but you also lose legitimacy externally with the various audiences that all of us are trying to reach.” Revitalizing Areas of Chicago “Invest South/West was born out of a lot of conversations that I heard or had with people over the course of the campaign and the beginning of the administration,” the mayor said. “ We saw this thriving downtown central business district, but our neighborhoods were starving, and what were the results of that? We were seeing a loss of population and really a loss of hope. People were leaving the city because they didn’t feel like they could really create a life here in Chicago. And, ultimately, if you just want to do dollars and cents, when you’ve got a shrinking population, it’s a shrinking tax base, and a shrinking tax base puts more pressure on everybody else that remains. While I think it was a morally correct thing to do, which is to really focus on building up capacity in our neighborhoods and creating vibrant neighborhoods in areas that really hadn’t seen any city investment and private capital in a long time, it also made economic sense to me as well. “So, Invest South/West is looking at 10 key commercial corridors on our South and West sides that hadn’t seen a lot of economic development, but really co-curating what that future would look like,” she continued. “And while the effort was slowed in the rollout because of the pandemic, what the pandemic really showed us is the areas where we were vulnerable were actually the areas that we needed to lean into and develop even more expeditiously.” Hoplamazian, who noted that he sits on the board of Skills for Chicagoland’s Future, an organization focused on and dedicated to finding jobs for people who are coming out of disadvantaged backgrounds or disadvantaged neighborhoods, discussed his company’s efforts to become more diverse. “At Hyatt, we are a global company and we operate in every possible marketplace, culture and environment around the world, and the diversity of our workforce is just magnificent. So, too, is the diversity of the guest space that we serve,” he said. “Being in a diverse environment and being highly inclusive has been inherently a part of what our culture has been about since we were founded back in the mid-1950s.” He continued, “A number of years ago, we focused very intensively around opportunity. These are young people who are either out of school and/or out of work, and trying to find pathways to bring them into the workforce. We believe, as does AHLA through the Opportunity Youth programs, to identify pathways for people who don’t have great skills or don’t have significant skills because we as an industry have many entry level jobs that allow us to bring people in and then give them a career opportunity to train and advance. Three years ago, we made an extraordinarily ambitious goal as a company to hire 10,000 opportunity youth by 2025. I’m proud to say that we were on track as of the end of 2019, when we employed about 2,000 opportunity youth across the world. Of course, COVID-19 has created a different type of challenge for us, and our hiring levels are going to be back with us as soon as travel recovers, but for the time being it’s a little less than clear exactly what the profiles look like.” Strong Leadership Team, Core Values Will Aid in Recovery - Adam Perkowsky appeared first on Hotel Business | Hotel Business - The leading source of hospitality news for owners, developers, designers, brokers, brands, management companies, lenders, REITs & asset managers. Texto fonte original: hotelbusiness.com Arrivalist: 42.5M Americans Will Hit the Road Labor Day Weekend - Hotel Business | Hotel Business NEW YORK—Location data company Arrivalist projects that Labor Day holiday road trip volume will be down just 5.3% compared to last year. An estimated 42.5 million Americans will hit the road over the extended weekend. The data comes from the company’s launch of an improved Daily Travel Index that now includes year-over-year insights. “Americans continue to seek respite on the road,” said Cree Lawson, founder/CEO, Arrivalist. “These latest projections are a promising sign for the travel industry.” The Daily Travel Index is a daily measure of road trip activity (trips by car more than 50 miles) taken by residents of all 50 U.S. states. The addition of year-over-year data going back to January 2019 will provide the travel industry even more insights to help plot its path to recovery. Beginning September 1, the Daily Travel Index will measure activity year-over-year rather than comparing it to a baseline of February 2020, the period before the COVID-19 pandemic. Site visitors accessing the free online resource will now be able to see trends in travel year-over-year by origin market and by mileage bands. Additionally, a customized Daily Travel Index is available to clients, which allows them to compare activity in their market to a nationwide index. Arrivalist’s methodology is based on a representative balanced panel of GPS signals representing road trips taken specifically in cars (excluding travel by air). A trip is measured as one where the user has traveled a minimum of 50 miles and spent a minimum of two hours at the destination. Commuter travel or other frequently repeated trips—i.e., cargo deliveries or other reoccurring activities—are excluded from the Daily Travel Index.

The sale follows months of negotiations between the two parties after the U.S government ordered Shiji to divest of StayNTouch, a cloud hotel property management system and contactless solutions provider, in March. “Since March, when the U.S. administration ordered that Shiji divest of our interests in StayNTouch, our concern was to find the right custodian for the company and its customers,” said Kevin King, COO, Shiji Group. “With Shiji’s support StayNTouch doubled its customer base in just two years, built a stable roadmap of product innovation, and was rapidly growing internationally. Our goal has always been to make StayNTouch a leader in cloud-PMS technology in the market so finding the right buyer was essential, for the team and for StayNTouch customers. We’re proud to say that we found the right owner in MCR.” MCR is based in New York City and Dallas and owns 92 premium-branded hotels containing 15,000 guestrooms, including the TWA Hotel at JFK International Airport, which opened in 2019 and utilizes StayNTouch’s Rover PMS. “The StayNTouch organization will remain fully operational with no structural changes to the company,” said Tyler Morse, chairman/CEO, MCR/Morse Development. “Shiji and the management team at StayNTouch have built an industry-leading company, with innovation at the forefront. We look forward to supporting the continued growth of the company with further investment in product development, technology infrastructure, and market expansion.” StayNTouch serves hundreds of hotel customers across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, totaling more than 100,000 hotel rooms globally. StayNTouch will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of MCR and will maintain its Bethesda headquarters, which supports the full operations of the company, including product research and development, customer support, corporate administration and strategic business development.

Texto fonte original: hotelbusiness.com When you change WordPress themes, your existing images may not be the right size. The solution for WordPress? Regenerate thumbnails. This means resetting your image dimensions in WordPress core settings. It can also be done quickly by using a plugin. In this post, weâll dig deeper into the WordPress regenerate thumbnails solution as well as show you how to fix image issues with the Regenerate Thumbnails WordPress plugin and manually using WP-CLI. Letâs start! What Happens to Your ImagesTo figure out how to regenerate thumbnails WordPress-style, itâs essential to first understand how image and image sizes are handled. WordPress has settings to automatically crop images that you upload. The settings can be found in the admin dashboard under Settings > Media. On the Media Settings page, there are sizes for âthumbnailsâ, âmedium,â and âlarge.â You can update the pixel count for each of them, as needed. But, donât forget to click Save Changes toward the bottom of the page if you do update the sizes. Here are the default sizing options:
Keep in mind that the theme youâre using may have specific sizes for images that will override the options on the Media Settings page. If you switch to a new theme, the settings are updated to the sizes that the new theme has set. But, older images you previously uploaded are unaffected. This is where things get a little sticky. You need to be able to resize all the images you previously uploaded to conform to the new image sizes that were set. Unfortunately, there arenât any settings to do that. The solution is to do whatâs referred to as âregenerate thumbnails.â When you change WordPress themes, your existing images may not be the right size. The solution? Regenerate thumbnails. Learn more about this easy fix right here Click to TweetHow Do I Resize Thumbnails in WordPress? (3 Methods)Before exploring how to regenerate thumbnails in WordPress, itâs important to note the ways you can resize images in the WordPress dashboard. Whatâs possibly even more essential to note is these solutions wonât necessarily resize your older images so youâll still need to go into WordPress, regenerate thumbnails without the help of a plugin, or otherwise use a plugin. If you want to resize a thumbnail or image, there are three main ways to do it: 1. Changing the Image Sizes in Your ThemeSince your WordPress theme can modify the default image sizes, you can choose to switch themes or you can check to see if there are settings available that are specific to adjusting the image sizes. Each theme is different so be sure to check the corresponding documentation to see if thereâs a way you can change your themeâs image sizes without installing a different theme altogether. Alternatively, you could choose to create a child theme and change the image sizes with PHP code. 2. Cropping Images in the Media LibraryAnother option is to change the size of your images by cropping them in the Media Library. Step 1Go to Media > Library in the WordPress admin dashboard. Then, click on a listed image that you want to resize. In the pop-over, click the Edit Image button. Step 2After that, you have several options to edit the image. You can click on the image and drag your mouse over the image and let go when you have selected the area you want to keep. Then, you can click on Crop. If you want to crop the image precisely, you can adjust the aspect ratio by entering the ratio you want. For example, you can use 1:1 to create a square or you can use 4:3, 16:9, and any other ratio you want. We grew our traffic 1,187% with WordPress.
