Global Trends and Best Practices
in Managing Hotel Programs
The U.S. hotel market continues to see strong demand and subsequent rate increases, according to travel consultancy Advito’s June update to their annual Industry Forecast. In March 2015, the occupancy rate reached an all-time high of 66.8%, while RevPAR rose 8.5% year-over-year. ADRs are rising in most markets, with San Francisco and other West Coast markets trending higher. How sustainable is this situation?
In this session, Advito Senior Director and Hotel Practice Leader Marwan Batrouni will prepare you for the upcoming hotel season with a global forecast, market trends and observations on topics including:
- Negotiations and buyer expectations
- Amenities/value adds
- Benchmarking data and rate auditing
You will learn more about the power of analytics, dynamic pricing, the integration of small meetings and project-based business and Airbnb.
