How Luxury's Growth Is Reshaping Hospitality - Stuart Greif, Forbes Travel Guide

Stuart Greif, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Forbes Travel Guide, shares how luxury’s rapid growth is reshaping hospitality. Stuart breaks down the data behind luxury’s expansion, then explores the second- and third-order effects, including changes in the workforce, leadership readiness, training, and differentiation in an increasingly crowded market. The conversation also looks ahead, discussing how hospitality could play a larger role as other industries change and why human connection and caring matter more as luxury scales. This episode offers a clear perspective for hospitality leaders thinking about what comes next and how to prepare.
