Remember the Hotel Travel Index? For younger hospitality professionals the HTI was a very fat annual publication of the world’s hotels and resorts. When it was not being used as a resource for travel professionals it doubled as a door-stop and booster seat in that it was about 10 inches thick and required two travel agents to lift from desk to desk! Though it served its purpose at the time the HTI was cumbersome and in some measure unfair. Larger operators could afford the 10’s of thousands of dollars to buy display adds while smaller operators were relegated to listings and crowded group ad pages.
