A scandal story, Qi Ji's moves and plenty of glitter

Maria Pütz-Willems, Editor-in-Chief.

Dear Insiders,

short and sweet first: US consumers are suing STR/CoStar and various global chains for what are alleged to be "inflated room rates". A major scandal is brewing. Deutsche Hospitality finally changes its name to H World International. Qi Ji takes the next step. RIP Germany, RIP Deutsche Hospitality? Germany is no longer competitive, but four European CEOs still believe in the "tourism tanker". Food & Drinks To Go? Gladly, but not in reusable packaging. Why not? A study and our research provide answers. First impressions of Motel One's first lifestyle hotel of the Cloud One brand opened last night in Hamburg. And news from colleagues: Super resort deals in the last quarter in Italy, an upswing in Viennese tourism and the new splendour of the Hotel Astoria, rosy times for Germany's incoming tourism and an all-time high in the global hotel pipeline.
