A6 I wasn’t crazy about the no-front-desk approach some hotels have—who do I ask for help?–but at #paramounthousehotel in Sydney they brought me around. The "front desk" doubled as a merch-concierge stand & felt less formal, more friendly, & still helpful. #TWchats @afarmedia

replying to @awtravelweekly @awtravelweekly I've never been a fan of random knocks on the door to check the minibar. I guess with the way things are going, this won't be a problem anymore. No more minibar. #TWChats

Cashless tipping could also be a big boon for tour guides/servers/baristas ... as people get more comfy with using services like Apple Pay. #TWchats #bravenewworld https://t.co/u6XE40QtLk

A6: (1/2) I despise the hypocrisy of hotels po’ faced saying they are saving the planet by not washing your towels, but present you with a laundry menu for any clothes you want to wash! #TWchats

#TWchats Q6: wrapped plastic cups in bathrooms. Maybe this will be a necessary evil? or at least wrapped glasses.

A6: My biggest hotel pet peeve is poor room lighting. Honestly, invest in better bulbs! #TWChats

replying to @CNTraveler @CNTraveler A4. It’s hard to predict what will happen in the long term because we’ve all become so shortsighted. I’d like to see planes become cleaner, less crowded and more environmentally friendly. #TWChats

To answer the earlier question about short-term and possibly longer-term changes--Housekeeping will no longer be a daily affair for multi-night guests, unless requested. #TWchats

replying to @cabojulie @cabojulie Yes, private jets and first and business class will likely be considered suitable options--another reason why #luxurytravel is likely to rebound first. #twchats

replying to @dailysuitcase @dailysuitcase That's an interesting one - strike a balance between protecting the workers and protecting the guests. No one likes high contact right now, but everyone also expects extra attention to cleanliness! #TWChats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews I used to be turned off when late check-out was not an option, but I hope now that extra time is used to clean/stock/whatever is necessary for all guests to feel safe and I appreciate that. #TWChats
