Saudi Arabia is adding more hotel rooms in the next four years than some countries have total. Marriott just planted a flag in Riyadh's financial district, and everybody's celebrating the ribbon cutting... but nobody's talking about where 362,000 rooms worth of trained hospitality talent is supposed to come from.
Nearly a million open hospitality jobs, turnover still running north of 70%, and wages that still can't compete with a warehouse shift that doesn't require scrubbing bathrooms. If you haven't pulled your trailing 90-day turnover data by department this week, you're already behind the conversation your best people are having without you.
