Note From the EditorAirbnb is getting all grown up. That's what you might take from the appointment of retiring American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault to the Airbnb board. Still, as Hospitality Editor Deanna Ting reports, Airbnb is trying to stay true to its community-oriented roots.
One issue that is getting very old and not showing much sign of progress is gender diversity in the upper ranks of the travel industry. Europe Editor Patrick Whyte breaks down a UK report on the topic, and finds that it would take a real jolt to improve female representation in the board room and to discourage male CEOs from appointing their own clones as directors. It doesn't take artificial intelligence to tell you that good-old-boy networks still have a strong toehold and need to be shaken up. — Dennis Schaal, Executive Editor |
