As the WFH trend has evolved from strictly working at home to include “working from hotel”, we’ve seen trends develop among the guests that fall into the WFH category.

Guests have largely regained the confidence to travel, driving demand for luxury hotel stays.

New Year. Same Headlines. While the COVID pandemic continues to affect global economies amid ongoing supply chain and inflation challenges – opportunities to centralize purchasing, find hidden gems among substitute products, and become more agile decision-makers have been bright spots in the hospitality industry. 

There’s never going to be a better time for furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) purchases than right now. While supply chains have begun to loosen, there are still significant barriers, including labor shortages, that are slowing deliveries. Our clients are locking in current pricing and ensuring on-time deliveries for summer FF&E needs by working with their Avendra associates today. We don’t anticipate pricing going down or a quick revitalization of the supply chain, so the best course of action is to take advantage of your GPO relationship to ensure your guests have a memorable experience with you.

Procurement Service Providers can help luxury operators’ source eco-friendly products that meet travelers’ demands and create authentic, one-of-a-kind experiences.
