Industry veteran Lynn Hayes will host the inaugural One-on-One segment. "Lynn's experience in marketing and public relations with Choice Hotels and Best Western make her a perfect host," said Richard Siegel, Hotel Online Publisher and "Siegel Sez" columnist. "She is extremely bright, has great insight into this industry, and is willing to put up with me - how can we miss?" Lynn's first One-on-One guest is Betsy O'Rourke, Senior Vice President of Marketing for the Travel Industry Association of America, the premier travel industry trade association based in Washington, D.C. In this interview, scheduled for publication April 23rd, Betsy will share the latest travel trends and insights with Lynn and Hotel Online subscribers. Also coming soon, Lynn will indulge her passion for golf by speaking with golf legend Tom Weiskopf about his spectacular new golf course at Seven Canyons in Sedona, Arizona. Says Lynn, "I'm delighted to be hosting One-on-One with Hotel Online. I'm a long-time subscriber and so am well aware of the influence they have in the community. It is gratifying for me to use my hospitality experience in such a fresh new way and to have the opportunity to speak with some of the industry's top executives. I know we're going to have fun!"
