Howdy, Big Thinkers! We’re skipping the setup this week and just getting you right to these 6 quick must-read hospitality marketing posts from the past couple of weeks. Enjoy:

1. Let’s start off with these “8 Outstanding Lessons from the 2016 HSMAI Digital Marketing Strategy Conference” as you gear up for this year’s edition.
2. You might also want to review this post that asks, “What Business Is Airbnb In? Hotels? Or Hospitality?” Even more importantly, you might want to think about the answer to that question for your business, too.
3. These questions matter, because, as TrustYou notes, “2017 Will Be The Year of the Hotel Guest.” I’d argue that that’s true most years. But it doesn’t change how much control guests now have of the overall journey in ways that simply weren’t as evident just a few years ago.
4. The Hospitality Marketing Link Digest series took a look at “6 Sensational Hospitality Digital Marketing Insights” a couple weeks ago that you simply can’t miss.
5. Similarly, we rounded-up these “5 Fast Travel Marketing Posts from the Past Week” a few weeks back that remain as relevant today.
6. And, finally, you must review these “8 Posts Highlighting the Growth of Mobile in Travel Marketing” when you have a moment. You’ll be glad you did.

Hope you have a great week ahead, Big Thinkers!
