Welcome everyone to this spotlight episode of Destination Everywhere.

It's a spotlight because we are doing a spotlight with one of the industry's top hotel

years and we are so excited to have Michael Dominguez from Alhai here and we're going

to be discussing with Mike today what's new and exciting at hotels around the world and

there's probably no one else in the world that knows because Mike's got his pulse on

all the hotels all around the world because he is the president and CEO of Alhai and

he has been in global sales and marketing and representing Alhai and they really have

the finest luxury resorts right Mike around the world, it's just incredible.

They also have true lines and Destination Management companies so they're a great resource

for all of our media planets out there.

He's one of the most influential voices within the travel and hospitality industries and in

2019 he was inducted into the event industry castles prestigious hall leaders so congratulations

so Mike, welcome to the show, thanks for joining us.

Thanks Andy and you know it's truly with the such an electric hotels being global.

We represent the I always say the independent voice of our industry because it's the independent

hotels, the independent hotel companies that we get to see and that kind of to me finishes

the puzzle because you know we'll hear from the large chains often and we get to read

about with their research and their reach what is happening and then there's these other

pieces that really give us what I always say are the pockets of our industry but excited

to be here and excited to talk to you about everything that's going on.

Yeah, there's so much going on and I know you've been traveling extensively over the

last 10 months or so even with with the pandemic to all the great hotels that you guys represent.
