New Orleans Hotel Industry Impacts | A Benchmark for Post-Katrina Recovery

As the City of New Orleans and its citizens rebuild homes, infrastructure, and businesses, policy makers and business leaders have sought to evaluate how best to recover from the damage Hurricane Katrina caused in August 2005. For some local industries, it may be informative to have benchmarks from before the hurricane that provide a basis of comparison during recovery. To take one example, if the local hotel industry could have an accurate measurement of its size and importance to the local economy prior to Hurricane Katrina, then it could have a clearer understanding of its progress in the recovery process moving forward. Furthermore, policy makers could use this information to inform their decisions about how to prioritize efforts to spur recovery in certain industries.

Complimentary Room - More Difficult Than A Free Lunch - by Robert Mandelbaum

Hotel Availability Begins To Supersede Price As Priority | btnonline.com

With hotel occupancy at its highest levels in some cities since the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, travel managers are finding availability for travelers in some cities as important as price, if not more critical. This quest is leading to an upswing in room allotments, in which buyers have a quota of rooms permanently assigned to them, but which can be released to the hotel either 24 or 48 hours in advance. In some cases, buyers are willing to pay for rooms up front. In even more extreme cases, they are leasing a hotel floor or an entire hotel. Experts also recommended less drastic measures to ensure availability, including encouraging travelers to book earlier and increasing the number of preferred properties. Buyers, intermediaries and suppliers all stressed that corporate clients who have built long-term relationships with hotels are being treated more sympathetically now that the market has shifted towards the seller.
