Fuel Hotel Marketing Podcast: Episode 48 – Stop Blaming Millennials For Increasing Guest Expectations

Let’s be honest, Millennials get the blame for so many things. The truth is that those of us who were born before 1980 are simply jealous that the younger generation has it way easier than we do. One of the common criticisms of Millennials is that they are spoiled and they have a send of entitlement.  While this may be true, we at the Fuel Hotel Marketing Podcast don’t believe that they are to blame for the increasing demands of today’s traveler. We believe that technology is the primary driver and that it’s created a society where instant gratification is the norm.
