I'm a massive Twitter fan. It's not everyone's favorite social media network, but I love it because you can curate lists around topics you really care about. Then you just have to glance at your feed once or twice a day and you can quickly grasp what’s happening in an industry.

In the hospitality world, where everything moves at a manic pace, it's an incredibly convenient tool. But there are thousands of hospitality tweeters out there. Who are the best people to follow for amazing content?

We’ve put together a list featuring just some of our favorite Twitter accounts. Peruse to the category of your choice, and find our top suggestions.
