SunTrust Robinson Humphrey reports, "Last week was impacted by the shift of the July 4th holiday from a Tuesday in 2017 to a Wednesday in 2018. The July 4th shift pushed some corporate business (particularly Group) out of the week of the holiday and into adjacent weeks. Last week reflected this negative impact. However, as a holiday shift from a Tuesday to a Wednesday is not generally as measurable as a shift from a Monday to a Tuesday, we were not surprised that the RevPAR results were modestly negative as opposed to more significantly down. Luxury (+0.9 percent) was the "strongest" chain scale for branded hotels; Upscale and Upper Midscale were the weakest at -3.8 percent. Midscale (-1.4 percent) slightly outperformed the overall U.S. hotel industry average." For more, read the full report. The May Lodging Margin Monitor. is also available for review. 

AAHOA partners with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey (STRH) to provide access to comprehensive analysis of current economic and market metrics for the hospitality industry. STRH is a leading, full-service corporate and investment bank dedicated to helping its customers successfully manage and grow their companies through a comprehensive range of strategic advisory, capital raising, risk management, financing and investment solutions.

The occupancy rate in the United States is the highest it has been in nearly 30 years, and that means good news for average-daily-rate and revenue-per-available-room growth, according to a recent report from Marcus & Millichap. (Source: Hotel Management)

  

Potential guests provide a variety of detailed personal information. With society’s increasing reliance on technology comes the constant risk of data breaches and theft of personal data, thus it is especially important that the personal data of individuals be protected. (Source: New York Law Journal)
