Brandreth Canaley, Wil Slickers, and Jamie Lane break down key developments across the travel and short-term rental landscape. They cover Booking Holdings (NASDAQ: BKNG) Q2 results, including strong growth in Europe and Asia, a softer U.S. market, and how loyalty and direct booking strategies are evolving.

The episode also unpacks new insights from AirDNA’s latest outlook report, an acquisition at MadeComfy in Australia, and what recent economic signals really mean for operators without getting lost in headlines or politics.

This episode is brought to you by Guesty.

Previous Episode

In this episode of Good Morning Hospitality, we’re sharing some big news: we’ve officially joined the Skift family!

We talk about what this means for the show, how the opportunity came together, and why this move makes so much sense for the community we’ve built over the past five years. From back-of-napkin ideas to early-morning recordings and wild conference weeks, this journey has been nothing short of incredible — and we’re just getting started.

We open up about the behind-the-scenes of the acquisition, what Wil will be doing as part of Skift, and most importantly, what won’t be changing: the vibe, the crew, and the conversations that matter most to this industry.

Thanks for being on this ride with us — seriously. We wouldn’t be here without your support, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
