As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of ICHRIE (International Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education) connecting the academic community, it seems fitting to reflect on the humble beginning of the hospitality industry in the United States and how the evolution of traveler connectivity over the years affected the industry in the United States and beyond. Connectivity is the force that drives business. Over the past 75 years, travel consumer connectivity in the areas of the internet, ease of travel, and hotel franchising have transformed the hospitality industry.
