TL;DR

In a world drowning in content, curation services help us find what matters. ONDA's 'Trend ON' is one of them — delivering industry insights, property management tips, and expert interviews for accommodation owners.

Hello from ONDA — the digital infrastructure for Korea's accommodation ecosystem.

In a world drowning in content, curation services help us find what matters.

ONDA's 'Trend ON' is one of them — delivering industry insights, property management tips, and expert interviews that accommodation owners actually care about.

Today, we're rounding up five newsletters every accommodation owner should subscribe to for smarter operations and sharper insights.

1. Weekly ON, Weekly OFF

ONDA's hospitality newsletters: Weekly ON and Weekly OFF

Beyond Trend ON, ONDA also runs two newsletters that keep owners informed.

'Weekly ON' is published biweekly and dives deep into the big stories shaping the accommodation industry.

'Weekly OFF' is a weekly digest — a quick scan of what happened in hotels and hospitality over the past seven days.

Need depth? Go with Weekly ON. Need speed? Go with Weekly OFF.

Of course, subscribing to both gives you the full picture.

2. Travie Letter

Travel essays from the editors of 'Travie' magazine

Travie Letter launched in February 2023 — fresh and personal.

It features honest travel essays and destination news the magazine doesn't have room for.

When a guest asks, "What's good around here?" — you can pull from Travie's latest recommendations.

3. Hapo

Hotel stories from someone who became a hotelier because they love hotels

Want to level up your guest experience? Benchmark hotels.

Hapo explores the lifestyle hotels create — themed rooms, curated services, and what actually resonates with guests.

See what's working. Ask yourself: Could we adapt this for our property?

4. Brique

The go-to source for anyone obsessed with space and interiors

Brique covers residential design and lifestyle — in print and in their newsletter. If you're planning a build or redesign, Brique's creative case studies and inhabitant stories will give you direction. Use it to sharpen your property's concept.

5. Careet

Looking for trends to fuel your property's marketing?

Careet aggregates what Gen Z and Millennials are obsessed with — campaigns, slang, places, food, products, you name it. If your target demo is in their 20s and 30s, or if you want to stay trend-forward, Careet is your shortcut.


That's our roundup of newsletters that help you run smarter.

We'll keep delivering insights that matter in future Trend ON posts.
