Welcome to the first ever episode of No Vacancy, the travel industry's most exciting podcast. No Vacancy is a fun, fast paced genre bending program mashing up and erasing the lines between the consumer and trade worlds.

Host Glenn Haussman is a well know hotel and lodging industry personality, industry speaker, writer, consultant and editor at large with Hotel Management (HotelManagement.net), where he writes two columns a week. Though this is a new show, he had five years' experience behind the mic.

On this first episode, Glenn tells us a little about what to expect with No Vacancy. Then he opines on the hotel industry's misguided infatuation with millennials, and how as a Gen X member he feels ignored. Very sad!

Then Glenn chats with David Downing, Executive Director, Visit St. Pete/Clearwater - ‎Visit St. Pete Clearwater. They discuss how this market has become one of the hottest tourist destinations globally. But more importantly, they delve into the strategy that got them there in the first place. If you love marketing, advertising, or Yetis you will love this interview.
