Hiya, Big Thinkers! We’ve got a great collection of 5 hospitality marketing trend posts you won’t want to miss for you this week. So let’s get straight to it. Enjoy:

1. A recent post from Snapshot demands “No More Spaghetti: Where Hotel Technology Must Go in 2017” that’s well-worth your time.
2. CustomerThink outlines “7 Mobile Marketing Techniques for the Travel Industry” that are also worth a look.
3. While we already mentioned this next post in last week’s collection of “6 Quick Must-Read Hospitality Marketing Posts,” you’ll definitely want to check out TrustYou’s prediction that “2017 Will Be The Year of the Hotel Guest.” There may simply be no more meaningful long-term trend for your hotel.
4. And since we’re mentioning previously-profiled posts, take a quick peek at these “6 Quick Hotel Distribution and Digital Marketing Insights” and this set of “5 Fast Travel Distribution and Digital Marketing Insights,” both from our ongoing Hospitality Marketing Link Digest series.
5. Finally, be sure to read Tnooz’s look at “Personalized Inspiration: Empowering Ultimate Travel Search” for insights into why personalization matters in travel. And for further thoughts on that very same topic, we’ve covered the topic as well, explaining “Why Hotel Marketing Depends on Personalization” and declaring “Personalization Starts With a Person.” Good stuff all around.

Hope you have a great week ahead, Big Thinkers!
