Shift in Hotel Retail Impacts Revenues and Profits

Hotels provide retail operations primarily for guest convenience and satisfaction, and are, in general, only a small part of total hotel revenue. Of the properties in the Trends® in the Hotel Industry database of PKF Hospitality Research, LLC (PKF-HR) that reported retail sales and expenses, retail sales made up just 0.9 percent of total hotel revenue in 2012. Retail operations vary greatly depending on the type of hotel. The retail department at large full-service, resort and convention hotels often includes clothing stores, gift shops and newsstands. Limited-service, select-service, and extended-stay properties frequently operate just a kiosk or mini-mart located next to the front desk that sells items mainly for the guest's convenience, such as snacks, drinks, and microwavable food.

Lodging Forecast 2014

Going into 2014 the tourism industry has recovered ahead of the economy for the first time in history. This is unusual considering the lodging industry has run in sync with all major economic trends in the past. Normally, the economy improves and the lodging industry trails about six months later. In 2010, the economy continued to remain in a recession while demand for lodging began to improve. From 2011-2013 this trend was followed with additional growth in both occupancy as well as average daily rates. As many of us are aware, going into the 2012 elections the economy was just barely coming out of its recession yet many drivers have been laid out ensuring the lodging industry will be moving forward in 2014.

Select Service Hotels - Select Your Profits

The definition of "select-service" within the lodging industry may vary from person to person, but there is no doubt that properties in this segment are the most popular among developers. Using the broadest definition of select-service, this category comprised an estimated 85 percent of the total projects in the development pipeline according to the October 2012 U.S. Hotel Pipeline Outlook report from Smith Travel Research.

HVS Market Intelligence Report: Downtown Brooklyn, New York

When we talk about "gateway" cities, Brooklyn is the real deal. Immigrants have come to the U.S. through Brooklyn for centuries, and the area's exponential expansion has resulted in approximately 2.5 million residents, 33,000 businesses, 410,000 employees, and a legacy of culture and commerce that continues to send out roots. New York's most populous borough offers lower operating costs and ample commercial and industrial space compared with Manhattan, two factors that have helped promote business growth and demand for area hotels.

Value Remains In Vogue: In Pursuit Of The Best Deal | Ypartnership Insights March 2011

Yes, most economic indices (including our Traveler Sentiment IndexTM) now suggest that demand for travel services will recover nicely in the year ahead, but this doesn't mean consumers are ready to pay higher fares and rates just yet. In fact, the results of our soon-to-be-released 2011 Portrait of American TravelersTM reveal that value remains in vogue, and that travelers are still focused on finding the best fares and rates when planning and purchasing travel services, whether for business or leisure. This should come as no surprise as the memory of their personal financial angst caused by the Great Recession still looms large.

Study - U.S. Travel Outlook Brightens in 2011 | But Value Remains In Vogue For Both Leisure And Business Travelers

As we close the books on 2010, many in the travel industry are likely to add the following refrain to their last chorus of Auld Lang Syne: “Are We There Yet?” If so, the simple answer is “well, almost.” Yes, monthly reports of new job losses have abated and the index of consumer confidence has displayed a modest upward trajectory in recent months. Yet according to the Ypartnership/Harrison Group Portrait of American Travelers(SM) and travelhorizons(TM) national surveys*, Americans remain cautious about spending on travel services in the year ahead. More specifically, their planning and purchasing behavior reflects a “New Frugal” attitude that is likely to prevail throughout the entire year, if not well into 2012.
