In the second episode of QUO’s The Future of Travel series, David and Catherine speak with Langham Hospitality Group CEO Stefan Leser on how the hotel group is navigating the COVID-19 crisis. 

Stefan takes a philosophical viewpoint on the situation, choosing to focus his energy on those things he can actually affect rather than the ‘paralysing forces’ out of his immediate control. He also takes great hope from the green shoots of recovery taking place in China, where people are out on the streets again, consumption is returning and—in second- and third-tier cities—hotel occupancy has risen above 20%.
