On behalf of Hotel Source, Inc., I’d like to welcome you to our brand-new blog, where starting today we’ll be serving up fresh doses of “hotel industry news and insight” on a regular basis.

I’m Steve Marx, and along with my colleagues Seth Glickman and Dave Ditmars, will be bringing you a mix of news, links, and commentary on topics related to the hospitality industry.

The idea for this blog grew out of the process of updating the content on our website. As we began our online renovation, we started talking about ways to communicate better —and more regularly — with our network of professionals in the hospitality industry. And we realized we had plenty to say: stories to share, articles and ideas to discuss, interesting places to review.

In fact, there were so many things we wanted to talk about that we decided a blog would be the perfect forum —a place where readers can check in with us on a regular basis to find out what’s on our radar and let us know what they think about it.

Thanks for checking in with us, and checking out our new feature. Feel free to share your thoughts with us in the Comments section — or contact the front desk by emailing us directly at info@hotelsource.com.
