Sinopsis
A proposed $100,000 H-1B visa fee would hit tech-heavy employers far more than travel brands, but travel could feel second-order effects through its reliance on tech partners and possible shifts in current visa holders’ travel behavior. Airbnb says early data from its four-month-old Services marketplace shows stronger demand for massages and personal training than for chefs or photographers, so it plans to lean into wellness without becoming an Amazon-style everything store. IHG is bringing its Ruby lifestyle brand to the U.S. with a compact, conversion-friendly model aimed at fast development, though it faces low brand awareness and stiff competition in urban, design-forward hotels.
