Recently, AAHOA hosted Rep. Dr. Rich McCormick of the Georgia Sixth District for a Back-of-the-House Tour in Duluth, GA. Back-of-the-House Tours offer opportunities for elected officials to step into the shoes of hotel employees and gain a profound appreciation for the daily tasks and responsibilites that go into providing exceptional guest service. From the meticulous housekeeping routines that ensure pristine rooms to the well-oiled machinery of the hotel's logistics, elected officials come away with a newfound understanding of the dedication and hard work that hoteliers invest in making each guest's stay memorable.

 

These types of events exemplify the close collaboration between AAHOA and government representatives in fostering an understanding of the vital role played by the hotel industry in each and every community so they may better represent us when they are working in Washington. Dr. McCormick recently led a delegation to India, where he met with Prime Minister Modi to further strengthen the relationship between India and the United States.

 

AAHOA Members own 68% of hotels in Georgia and employ nearly 80,000 workers, and pay more than $3 billion in federal, state, and local taxes.

With the ongoing industry labor shortage, much of the attention has been focused on operations staff, but many properties are finding it a bigger challenge to hire staffers with sales or management experience.

Truist Securities reports, “Overall U.S. RevPAR was -0.1% y/y for the week ending 9/9/2023, per STR, below the prior week's result of +2.0%, and below the trailing 10-week average of +1.4%. Versus 2019, due to the comparable timing of Labor Day, RevPAR was -2.0%, below the prior week’s result of +26.8% and below the trailing 10-week average of +11.1%. Despite a tough y/y holiday weekend leisure comp, we found results last week relatively decent, all things considered, though marginally softer for the Economy/Midscale chain scales. September MTD results at +5% for the U.S. and +5-6% for corporate-focused Upper Upscale/Upscale is a promising start to the month before business group travel heats up post-holiday. Upscale RevPAR: +1.9% y/y and -11.7% vs. 2019; Upper Midscale RevPAR: +0.3% y/y and -2.3% vs. 2019.”
