2022 Hospitality Industry Forecast

Robert Rauch | October 7, 2021

By Bob Rauch Note: last month, we started using a debate platform to ask readers about their thoughts on a subject, so we ask this question above that can be answered from the sided.co debate platform.  2022 – A Magical Year or More Misery? That’s easy – our hospitality forecast says the bumpy ride is coming to an end. We should assume 6 more months; October through March might remain uneven or bumpy. Why? Because business travel is not back and group business is just starting to book going forward. International travel will likely return in April, 2022 when we should be back to 2019 numbers. The 2022 hospitality forec...

Q3 2021 Major U.S. Hotel Sales Survey

Daniel Lesser | October 14, 2021

By Daniel Lesser The U.S. economy is expected to grow roughly six percent for the year, however with one quarter to go in 2021, this year has done its best to be as tumultuous and volatile as the last. It feels like we’ve been on this road for a while, with the same kinds of bumps to navigate including COVID, deepening supply chain issues, higher energy prices, a recent cutback in consumer spending, and the scarcity of materials. What everyone had hoped would be a more normalized environment has turned out to be anything but that. After a rapid rebound in U.S. economic growth during Q2 2021, news of the fast-spreading Delta coronaviru...

Lately, Hotels Seem to Be Falling Short on the People Parts

Doug Kennedy | October 7, 2021

By Doug Kennedy At the time of this writing, I’m on a plane ride back from attending four lodging industry conferences in 10 days, which caused me to be staying at four different large, branded hotels in Minneapolis, Dallas and San Antonio, all of which were close to the convention centers.  While all of the staff I encountered were polite and efficient, their service style was overall reactive and not proactive. Notably absent were some core essentials of hotel hospitality excellence that used to be part of “Hotel 101” orientation. Much has been written about the challenges of finding qualified staff, but in each encounter, ther...

In the Battle for Recovery, Choice Is KING!

Michael Heflin | October 20, 2021

By Michael Heflin Although we appear to be moving past the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospitality market seems to be recovering by fits and starts.

While customers are eager to get back to traveling, they are still significantly concerned about their health and safety, and what travel in this “new normal” will look and feel like. Of course, different market segments continue to express different risk tolerances, different goals for travel, and different perceptions of the...
