Our hospitality faculty and students recently participated in the Georgia Lodging Industry Forecast, presented by the Georgia Hotel and Lodging Association and Cornell Hotel Society.

The event brought together industry leaders to explore how AI, evolving consumer behavior, and digital platforms are transforming travel discovery and hotel booking, while also exploring Georgia’s lodging performance, demand trends, and key indicators shaping hotel strategies for 2027.

Our students also supported the event as volunteers, contributing to event operations while gaining firsthand insight into the industry trends and professionals shaping the future of lodging.

We’re proud to see our students engage with industry leaders, contribute to professional events, and gain valuable perspectives that complement their hospitality education.
