On today's Good Morning Hospitality, we open with a major development out of Miami: Roami, formerly Sextant Stays, is restructuring —but not because they're shutting down. Brandreth Canaley breaks the story down for us. Then, we explore Vrbo's growing global integration with Expedia Group. A new update that could significantly impact how inventory is distributed across Expedia's brands and what that means for visibility, booking volume, and host control. Next, Hyatt unveils Unscripted by Hyatt, a fresh lifestyle brand aimed at younger travelers looking for flexible design, local culture, and lower price points. We discuss whether this is a direct response to alternative accommodations or simply a smart brand extension. Finally, we dive into Wander's newly announced $50 million Series B round. What does this raise signal about investor confidence in branded STR platforms? And can Wander continue to scale without falling into the same traps as asset-heavy operators? ---- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Good Morning Hospitality⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is part of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hospitality.FM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Multi-Media Network and is a Hospitality.FM Original The hospitality industry is constantly growing, changing, and innovating!

On today's episode of Good Morning Hospitality, Wil Slickers, Michael Goldin, and Brandreth Canaley break down three of the biggest headlines in travel and hospitality this week. Vacasa's special committee officially rejected Davidson Kempner Capital Management's improved acquisition bid of $5.75 per share, calling it “not reasonably likely” to result in a superior proposal compared to the current Casago-led offer. With the shareholder vote looming, this move may bring an end to the takeover drama. Expedia Group is also making waves with a renewed focus on its B2B travel tech strategy. In a recent Q&A on Skift, company leadership highlighted their efforts to simplify the messaging around their B2B offerings and strengthen relationships with partners like banks, loyalty programs, and large-scale travel distributors. And over at Airbnb, the platform is doubling down on its policies around off-platform bookings and fee transparency. A new policy update reinforces that all required fees must be disclosed at the time of booking and that moving guests off the platform is a serious violation. From M&A tension to evolving tech strategies and policy updates, this episode dives into the forces shaping the guest and operator experience in 2025. ---- Good Morning Hospitality is part of the Hospitality.FM Multi-Media Network and is a Hospitality.FM Original The hospitality industry is constantly growing, changing, and innovating!
