In China, business travel is big business. This week, we look at the market through two different lenses.
First, Skift Travel Tech Editor Sean O'Neill examines the financials of Chinese global distribution system Travelsky, finding that costs are rising along with tensions among industry partners.
Second, Skift Asia Editor Raini Hamdi looks at the emergence of automated hotels across China and what innovation from companies like Alibaba means for the greater hospitality sector.
We've also got takeaways on flexible meeting spaces and what Lyft's IPO means for other travel startups, if you're into that sort of thing.
