I visited San Francisco a couple weeks ago for a Skift Megatrends event and was surprised by how many problems a wealthy and progressive destination can have from the perspective of a business traveler. Is San Fran really a great place to hold an event?
Following a delicious burrito, I sat down one afternoon with San Francisco Travel President and CEO Joe D'Alessandro to talk about the challenges the city faces as both a dynamic destination for events and a social victim of its own economic success. Check out the story below.
We also have the latest on Best Western diving into luxury by acquiring WorldHotels and the ways which big travel brands are putting the squeeze on travelers.
