"My hope is that Trump will be good for the economy and a voice for the hotel industry on Capitol Hill. Travel is a key indicator of economic health and I believe Trump's, low tax, small government is good for business. Fixing healthcare will also be a plus for the travel industry, as the system seems to be disliked by everyone. Immigration will be an interesting issue for our industry (including food supply chain) as we employ a great deal of first generation immigrants and undocumented workers. Trade issues with China and Latin America will also have an impact on our industry from an investment prospective. But travel could be adversely affected if relations get strained. I think our industry will be more of a bell weather for Trump's policy successes or failures than any other president in our history."
