In a region that has historically struggled in the aviation field, state-run Ethiopian Airlines is truly a success story, playing a key role in the country's economic development and helping solidify its status as a tourist destination. A new airport takes it to the next level.

This week in hospitality news, Airbnb began its promised crackdown on party houses in Los Angeles, plus Marriott is still waiting to see exactly how much it has to pay in European fines stemming from a massive data breach.

Airbnb chose Tinseltown to audaciously begin cracking down on party houses. Good PR. Expect to see more adjustments in Airbnb policy as it moves forward with an emphasis on community safety and standards.
