Welcome to Issue No. 008 of Sojourn. An independent publication delivering strategic interpretation for leaders shaping the future of travel and hospitality.


Interpretation: Hospitality has spent decades perfecting the script. The welcome. The flow. The moments you’re meant to notice. But something is shifting. The most memorable stays now feel less orchestrated and more open. Less managed. More human.

Paid subscribers, the inbox is open. Questions, follow-ups, or a topic you’d like me to look at — reply to any issue. I read every email.
