What's next for Airbnb? How are the most important travel companies using AI? And do travelers have 'price fatigue'? Here's what we heard from more than two dozen executives at the Skift Global Forum.
CheckIn shows how Prism is trying to reinvent itself for a new kind of Indian traveler. It built its empire on budget hotels, but the company now sees its future in catering to people willing to pay more for better stays.
An Oyo IPO has been rumored for years, but CEO Ritesh Agarwal's shifting tone signals momentum. A listing in India would spotlight how the world’s fastest-growing travel market is also producing global hospitality players with scale and ambition to match.
What’s in a name? For Oyo, now Prism, apparently quite a bit. But investors will look past the rebrand for proof the company is more than a startup in new clothes, and that its profits are built to last.
Hotels are coming up everywhere in India, but they cannot keep up with the demand. The sector is now looking at homestays to bridge the gap and to boost experiential tourism in the country.
They say third time’s the charm. With two failed IPO attempts behind it, Oyo is back with profits on the rise, new acquisitions, and a premium push. Will the markets finally bite?
This deal marks a meaningful step in Oyo’s push to become a truly global player, giving the hospitality company access to a region where it had little presence until now.
