Will Liquids Be Allowed on Planes Again in the Future?

By
I've forgotten when was the last time I was allowed to carry liquids on planes --- of course, I am not talking about those that can be put in a quart-size Ziploc bag. This MSNBC video gives us a hope that we might be able to carry liquids on planes again in the future. However, given the fact that travelers have dramatically changed their travel behaviors due to those “one-after-another” airport regulations and airline add-on fees, will things go back to “normal” if liquids are allowed again?

    I don't think that this is such a huge issue. I flew just two weeks ago for the first time in 12 years believe it or not, and I didn't find it to be an inconveinience. I think that as passengers, our first desire is a safe flight, and any increased costs that may incur due to 'high tech' magnetic scanning devices will often cause disgruntlement. Anybody traveling for more than a few days most likely has to check a bag anyway, and liquids are allowed in that case(pardon the pun).
    Perhaps in the time shortly following 9/11, passengers were majorly inconveinienced with this 'no liquid' policy, but I think the procedure should have set in by now. Myself, having not traveled since I was 8 years old, found it to be normal practice. Certainly nothing to complain about when my safety was their airlines priority.

    I find it to be an inconvenience. I am traveling for 4 days, and I do not want to check a bag. It would cost me $25 both ways to check my bag. I am able to fit everything I need on my carry on, but am not allowed to pack my shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, etc. Unless I put it into tiny little bottles. Well I need more than a dab of shampoo for my long hair.

Yammer: A Social Networking Site Exclusively for the Workplace

By
Effective internal communications among employees are related to some desirable organizational outcomes, such as robust morale, a clear vision, low turnover, and high employee engagement. The question is what platform can serve the purpose. This ABC News video introduces “ Yammer ,” an exclusive internal communication tool for companies. A user must use a valid company e-mail address to sign up for an account. Once an account is validated, the user will be led to the company page that is pretty much like a Facebook page. The difference is that only the users whose e-mail addresses share the same domain can see the wall and communicate with each other. I have no question about whether Yammer could be a useful internal communication tool for companies, but I just wonder: how many social networking sites do people need for communication? Why people have to “create” so many platforms or channels for “effective communications”? To many people, Facebook is only for “friends,” whe

Will restaurants of the future still need a dining room?

By
It does not seem the coronavirus is leaving us soon, although we have seen good   progress in developing the vaccine . In recent weeks, many places reported   a surge of new infected COVID-19 cases . Some even resumed   lockdowns   and the mask-mandate order, forcing restaurants to   shut down indoor dining   services again.     As a short-term remedy, restaurants immediately shifted their offering to   curbside pickup and delivery  services. Meanwhile, restaurants are testing new concepts to embrace the   contactless self-service  trend for the future. Here are some examples,     Chipotle opened its first digital-only restaurant     The new prototype, known as the   Chipotle Digital Kitchen , debut in Highland Falls, NY, earlier this month. Different from the traditional Chipotle restaurant, the Chipotle Digital Kitchen features:     A lobby designated for pickup services through off-premise orders.   A see-through kitchen, allowing customers to see, smell, and hear what is going on b

The 2020 hospitality and tourism trends that will likely stay in 2021 and beyond

By
The COVID-19 pandemic had made an unprecedented impact on the   global economy   in 2020. The good news is the long-waited COVID-19 vaccines will   soon become available . Let’s hope that the coronavirus will disappear soon as we enter the New Year.     Looking back before we look forward   At year-end 2019, I predicted a few   2020 trends   in hospitality, retail, and tourism businesses. For example, I recommended that we should pay special attention to the following areas:      A shifting focus on food delivery, sustainable food, and quick-casual restaurants. Using AI and facial recognition in service operations.   The threats from Google, Amazon, and Airbnb as a (potential, new) giant tourism enterprise in the market.   Investors’ growing interest in boutique retail stores and hotels. Customer loyalty issues as more travel companies adopted the dynamic pricing strategy even in their frequent traveler programs.   Safety issues during travel.     Certainly, the global pandemic was not
