The Oregon Coast is a popular drive-to destination market that thrives on tourism. The coast offers a variety of vacation spots, from large, bustling tourism hubs to more rural destinations with small-town charm. Home to nearly 30 cities and towns, the coastal region is divided into three major sub-regions: the Northern and Central sub-regions feature the major tourism destinations, including Newport, Lincoln City, Cannon Beach, and Astoria, while the Southern sub-region relies primarily on travel to state parks. The coast’s proximity to Oregon’s major commercial centers, including Portland, Salem, Eugene, and Medford, provides the area with reliable demand for hotels. This demand peaks from May through October given the mild weather and the multitude of popular outdoor recreational activities during this period.

U.S. companies are missing out on more than $2.4 trillion in potential new sales revenue because they may be underinvesting in business travel, according to a new report exploring the return on investment (ROI) of corporate travel. Despite a strong post-pandemic rebound, the study found that real travel and entertainment (T&E) spending in the U.S. remains $66 billion below 2019 levels. The analysis shows that a modest 8.3% increase in T&E could yield a 6% increase in sales – even taking into consideration post-COVID investments in virtual meeting platforms. These are some of the key findings from the report, T&E and the Bottom-Line: Quantifying the Return on Investment of U.S. Business Travel, released today by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) and made possible in partnership with the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA).

It's no secret that Nashville has emerged as a top-tier destination for tourism, commerce, and conventions. Tourism exploded as the city’s popular music-related attractions gained national attention and social groups flocked to the Broadway Historic District to enjoy the array of venues named for a multitude of country music stars. At the same time, corporate relocations and investment flourished as the city’s business-friendly environment, relatively low cost of living, and strong quality of life attracted many firms, including major technology companies like Oracle and Amazon. During this period, hotel demand (and subsequently hotel supply) expanded rapidly, kickstarted by the opening of the Music City Center convention facility in 2013. Through 2019, Nashville hotel occupancy levels soared, and developers were unable to build hotels fast enough to keep up with demand.
