French Hotel Industry Performance - May 2016

Following a month of April when all regions recorded losses, the contrast in May's performance from one zone to the next was striking. Unfortunately, Ile-de-France continued to pay the heavy price of the terrorist attacks of early 2015 and in Brussels. All client segments were affected and while recovery should be on the cards, it has yet to make itself known. The situation was noticeably different in regional France: somewhat mixed on the Côte d'Azur, but very encouraging in regional France.

French Hotel Industry Performance - April 2016

March's generally positive results led us to believe there was some hope for recovery. Unfortunately, April's performances dropped in the majority of categories and throughout most of France. The attacks in Brussels at the end of March reminded international visitors of the ongoing security threat in this part of Europe. The school holiday and events calendars were also somewhat unfavourable in April, which accentuated the weak trading activity during this period.

"What is essential is invisible to the eye"

Urgent responses from governments happen in parallel to a manifest will to demonstrate strength. Divided between the need to reassure the local population, the desire to prove that life goes on, and the need to not scare off those that feed the tourist economy, managers have been ensnared by critics from all sides.

The One Who Pays the Most Manages to Earn the Least!

Take a sector that brings together the leaders in the global ranking in its category. An economic activity that, not only participates in that country's international glory, but provides work for a million employees and feeds the economy with at least as many derived jobs. One would think that it would surely receive the careful attentions of the country's leaders to prevent such a productive machine from breaking down… Especially in these trying times. However, that would happen in a pragmatic country, in a country that values success and provides the support needed to get through difficult times or lay the foundations for development.
