Episode Notes Hotel companies are trying to figure out how artificial intelligence will impact their businesses. Leaders in the industry aren't quite sure yet, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill, who attended the Destination AI summit in Washington, D.C. Jess Petitt, an executive at Hilton, said the number of hotel bookings made using generative AI is minuscule but added the technology would make a huge impact on the industry. However, some experts are skeptical about generative AI significantly changing the balance of power regarding how hotels attract customers. O'Neill writes if hotel companies don't adequately invest in the technology, they'll be out-competed technologically. Next, Mallorca continues to be a tourism hotspot despite recent large-scale protests against mass tourism to the island, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam. Mallorca recorded more than 8.5 million overnight hotel stays in August, the highest of any tourist region in Spain. The island also had the highest weekend hotel occupancy at 90%. Despite widespread coverage of the protests, a recently released survey by Mallorca's tourism board found roughly 90% of American visitors were unaware of the anti-mass tourism demonstrations. Finally, Southwest Airlines has raised its revenue outlook for the third quarter as it plans to make more changes to its business operations, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi, who was in Dallas for Southwest's “Investor Day” presentations. Southwest expects its revenue per available seat mile to increase between 2% and 3%, up from previous estimates. The company attributed the increase in part to a surge in travel demand. Meanwhile, to help boost profits, Southwest has unveiled plans to introduce premium seating and red-eye flights. Southwest projects the seating changes will generate an additional $1.5 billion in revenue. For more travel stories and deep dives into the latest trends, head to skift.com.

Borse ancora in rosso tra post elezioni e banche centrali, Milano tocca -3%. Spread sfiora i 160 puntiL incertezza dovuta alle elezioni europee e i dubbi sulla politica monetaria delle banche centrali continuano a penalizzare le Borse europee che viaggiano in rosso a metà seduta. Le performance più negative sono nuovamente quelle registrate dal FTSE MIB -3,22% di Milano e dal CAC 40 -2,82% di Parigi, anche se passano in rosso anche gli altri indici continentali, che complessivamente si avviano a chiudere la peggiore settimana da ottobre. La possibilità che in Francia il Rassemblement National vada al governo dopo le elezioni anticipate in calendario a fine mese, mettendo a rischio la tenuta del bilancio pubblico e dell euro, continua a mettere inoltre sotto pressione i titoli di Stato transalpini, con lo spread tra Oat e Bund salito sopra quota 70 punti base. In giornata ha presentato il suo programma elettorale di rottura anche l alleanza di sinistra del Nuovo fronte popolare. I punti comprendono una riforma delle pensioni e un aumento del salario minimo a 1.600 euro e potrebbero contribuire a innvervosire i mercati in caso di vittoria. Il mercato continua poi a guardare alla Fed dopo il nuovo dato incoraggiante sul fronte dell inflazione (prezzi alla produzione sotto le attese), che potrebbe convincere la banca centrale Usa ad adottare posizioni più accomodanti. Al momento la Federal Reserve prevede un solo taglio dei tassi di interesse di 25 punti base da qui a fine anno. Sull obbligazionario italiano, è in rialzo lo spread tra BTp e Bund. Il differenziale di rendimento tra il BTp decennale italiano di riferimento e il pari scadenza tedesco si è allargato a 156 punti dai 145 del closing di ieri. Stabile, invece, il rendimento del BTp decennale benchmark al 3,94%, invariato rispetto al riferimento precedente. Tra i principali titoli di Piazza Affari sono deboli le banche, con Banca Monte Paschi Siena -5,68% Unicredit -6,11% Bper Banca -5,43% e Banco Bpm -4,22% tra le peggiori del listino. Vendite anche su Leonardo -5,32% e Stellantis -4,26% , il giorno dopo l'Investor Day che ha visto la conferma dei target 2024. Ne parliamo con Alberto Grassani, Il Sole 24 Ore.Prezzi, la top ten dei rincari: voli internazionali +132,3% rispetto al pre-crisi, l olio raddoppiato in tre anniI voli internazionali sono cresciuti del 132,3% rispetto ai prezzi pre-crisi, il gas del 50,2%, la luce del 39,5%. L'Unione NazionaleConsumatori ha elaborato i dati Istatdell'inflazione di maggio resi noti il 31 maggio per stilare non solo la tradizionale top ten dei rincarimensili e annui, ma anche la classifica dei maggiori rincari rispetto al periodo pre-crisi, ossia rispetto a metà 2021, prima che l'inflazione iniziasse a decollare. In questi anni, in testa ai rialzi tendenziali si sono alternati svariati prodotti. L'olio di oliva per esempio è in testa ininterrottamente agli aumenti annui da settembre 2023 a oggi, ma prima, da aprile 2023 ad agosto 2023, è stata la volta dello zucchero, prima ancora si sono stati i voli nazionali, l'energia elettrica del mercato libero e così via. Ma quali di questi tanti prodotti, dopo vari saliscendi, vince la classifica di questi 3 anni di incrementi astronomici? I voli internazionali rispetto a maggio del 2021 decollano del 132,3%, mentre la medaglia d'argento va all'olio di oliva che in 3 anni è quasi raddoppiato di prezzo (+93,5%). Sul gradino più basso del podio i voli nazionali con +55,1%. Al quarto posto lo zucchero (+51,6%), poi il gas (+50,2%), il riso(+45,1%), al settimo posto le patate (+43,3%), poi alberghi motel e pensioni (+41,5%) ed energia elettrica (+39,5%). Chiudono la top ten i gelati con +37,8%. Approfondiamo il tema con Mauro Antonelli, responsabile ufficio studio dell'Unione Nazionale Consumatori.

Executives at Jack in the Box recently hosted an earnings call and disclosed the company's latest financial results. The company's CEO, Darin Harris, discussed plans for future strategy, noting during the call, "During the Investor Day, we introduced how we intend to take the next step in our strategy and break out of the box." According to the earnings report, Jack in the Box experienced a variety of financial gains and challenges. The company reported modest growth in same-store sales and an increase in restaurant-level margins, attributed to factors such as commodity deflation and operational efficiencies. At the same time, there was a marginal downturn in consolidated adjusted EBITDA, and franchise level margins, Jack in the Box acknowledged, require further attention to ensure fiscal stability and growth. One aspect of the company's strategic approach to success lies in its broad mix of product offerings and initiatives. From core items such as burgers and wraps to newer features like the Munchie Meal platform and the Smashed Jack burger, Jack in the Box's menu attempts to resonate with various consumer tastes. Concurrently, the company's efforts to increase digital sales and provide value with diverse options and targeted promotions align with their revenue and customer engagement objectives, as reported during the earnings call. Jack in the Box also displayed an understanding of consumer trends, acknowledging the importance of reaching lower-income demographic groups and refining their product offerings. Notably, these refinements pertain especially to the breakfast category, innovative items, and value deals. These steps, as the company stated, seek to align with evolving consumer habits and broaden the appeal of Jack in the Box across various customer segments, particular attention being paid to the late-night daypart. Looking forward, Jack in the Box has laid out plans for future expansion. These include enhancing average unit volumes, improving restaurant-level economics, and augmenting development capabilities. Company plans to open new restaurants, enter new markets such as Mexico, and technological investments underline their commitment to stay competitive and expand their market presence. In summary, while the latest earnings call from Jack in the Box revealed a blend of financial strengths and weaknesses, the underlying strategy indicates a plausible path to navigate these complexities. Jack in the Box faces the challenge of refining their product offering, fine-tuning margins, and capitalizing on opportunities with a measured optimism. The company's focus on product innovation, driving digital sales growth, and adapting to consumer trends sets a realistic expectation for its ability to growth amidst stiff competition in the fast-food industry, based on the information presented in the earnings call.
