Video Interview with John Cahill - President Elect of HFTP - Hotel of The Future General Session - Conclusions And Audience Feedback Overview
The interactive session was moderated by John Cahill, CHTP, CHA, chief financial officer for Manhattan East Suite Hotels and Jules Sieburgh, chief technology officer for Host Marriott Corp. The two moderators led the over 375-member audience through a survey that asked questions about their thoughts on how the hotel of the future should look and feel. The audience used hand held devices to enter their responses, and within 10 seconds the results were displayed onscreen. Their results were then compared against the results of an HFTP commissioned poll that asked independent travelers the same questions.
The survey was aimed at discovering how much technology travelers require while on the road. Questions ranged from what is the most important piece of technology that travelers take with them when on the road, to the type of hotel accommodations they select.
