Can rethinking something as fundamental as market segmentation unlock new performance gains in hotels? Joe Pettigrew, Group Chief Commercial Officer at L+R Hotels—one of the world’s largest privately held hotel investment and operating groups—thinks so.

 • Learn why Pettigrew believes benchmarking intelligence platforms like CoStar, Amadeus, and Lighthouse matter more to revenue success than any single operational system.
