Bruc Ford of Lodging Econometrics joins Glenn. Craig and Producer for a Holiday (and booze) filled extravaganza.

Celebrating our relationship with our own branded partnership, Glenn hosts this Hot Topics session for our friends at Hotel Business Magazine. Learn why pairing up with the right brands helps hoteliers increase revenue while simultaneously lowering operating costs. Glenn Haussman hosts along with our expert panel featuring Red Roof's Matthew Hostetler, AAHOA's Heather Carnes, Red Roof's Robert Goad, Hotel Owner Mayuri Patel and Lodging Econometrics' Bruce Ford.  

Episode Notes Executives speaking at the recent Skift Global Forum said hotel operators and short-term rental managers are not fighting for the same customers. However, hotel owners and Airbnb both have growth ambitions that could lead to more competition, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill.   The heads of both Hilton and Airbnb said at the Forum that lodging isn't a winner-take-all market but one in which multiple companies can coexist. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky added the overlap between hotels and Airbnb is smaller than most people realize.  But, O'Neill writes the future of lodging will probably see hotels and short-term rental providers increasingly go after the same travelers. While Chesky argued hotels don't serve people seeking extended stays well, O'Neill notes hotels are increasing extended-stay options. Nearly a third of the construction pipeline for hotels in the U.S. is extended-stay projects, according to industry advisory firm Lodging Econometrics.  Next, Marriott recently gave a 144-slide presentation to analysts documenting its strategy for years to come. So what were the highlights? Senior Hospitality Editor O'Neill provides analysis of the five most eye-catching sides.   O'Neill reports Marriott has plans to grow its footprint, including adding about 40,000 net rooms over the next three years. The world's largest hotel company is also looking to expand outside of North America. Close to 40% of its current rooms are outside of the U.S. and Canada. In addition, Marriott has seen its non-room revenue rise significantly in recent years. Roughly 20% of Marriott's total fee revenue comes from sources other than traditional room bookings. That figure was only 5% about a decade-and-a half ago. Finally, Japan Airlines has substantially upgraded its business and first class cabins as it prepares the Airbus A350-1000 to be its flagship long-haul aircraft, writes Reporter Ajay Awatney.  Japan Airlines will add doors to both business and first class cabins. The company will also introduce industry-first features, such as large partitions in its premium economy seating. It's part of Japan Airlines' strategy to help improve privacy for travelers. The A350-1000 will start flying on the Tokyo-Haneda to JFK Airport route by the end of 2023.

Wrapping up Day 1 of The Lodging Conference with an analysis from Bruce Ford, SVP with Lodging Econometrics and myself. FYI: We declare the state of the hotel business is........ Thanks to Unifocus , technology that drives value, for supporting this video.

Lodging Econometrics' Bruce Ford turns 50 and Glenn, Craig, Producer Dave and special guests are there to make sure he regrets it.

Episode Notes Hyatt unveiled its newest brand, Hyatt Studios, on Tuesday, becoming the latest hotel company to launch an extended stay brand, reports Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill.  Hyatt expects to open its first Hyatt Studios hotels next year. O'Neill writes Hyatt's entry into extended stay is part of a boom in the category, with Marriott and Wyndham having launched extended stay brands recently. Extended stay projects represent roughly a third of the construction pipeline for U.S. hotels, according to hotel industry consulting firm Lodging Econometrics. Next, Delta Air Lines has increased its market share in key markets such as Boston, New York, and Seattle this year compared to 2019 levels. But the company still needs its core hubs to fully recover, reports Edward Russell, editor of Airline Weekly, a Skift publication.  Russell writes the recovery of Delta's core hubs — including Atlanta, Detroit and Minneapolis-Saint Paul — was delayed amid operational challenges that forced the airline to fly less than it hoped last year. Delta President Glen Hauenstein said the company's hubs fuel its profits. Russell adds that Delta needs its hubs to rebound to help it hit its financial targets, one of which is recovering to pre-Covid operation margin levels in 2024.  Finally, online travel agency Hopper's feature enabling customers to leave a tip as part of a reservation has been getting a lot of buzz recently, writes Travel Technology Reporter Justin Dawes.  Hopper actually made the tip an optional fee in 2018, three years after the company implemented a mandatory fee in its reservations. Dawes reports the amount of the tip is either a flat fee or a percentage of the reservation. A Hopper spokesperson recently said many customers are willing to pay a small fee to thank the company for its service, so kept the tip feature.  The spokesperson added that the optional tip is a way for users to acknowledge the value of its price prediction and flight-watch tools. The company offers those features for free.

Bruce Ford, SVP with Lodging Econometrics is back to join Glenn, Craig and Producer Dave in some shenanigans. That's right, I wrote shenanigans. Deal with it!

In this special edition of No Vacancy, Glenn Haussman speaks with Bruce Ford, SVP with Lodging Econometrics, to discuss the new build and hotel conversion pipeline, how renovations are taking prominence as new builds slow, how vendors can better sell to hotels, and much more.  

Lodging Econometrics has tracked the hotel industry since 1998. Its global database includes new-hotel pipelines as well as renovations and brand conversions. Hotel franchisers once eager to launch new brands are focused on converting existing hotels because it's a faster way to recover revenue lost to the COVID-19 pandemic than through new construction. In Episode 346, Lodging Leaders explores the increasing number of conversions in the U.S. hotel industry and what owners and operators need to consider before repositioning an asset.

A brief overview of what's happening at the California ports followed by a conversation with Bruce Ford of Lodging Econometrics. Join me as I dig into Bruce's personal life, and he attempts to break down econometrics for me. 

In the first quarter of this year, more than 140 new hotels opened in the U.S., reported Lodging Econometrics. In March, the U.S. had 150,000 rooms under construction, said STR. It's the highest end-of-month total the company has reported. Jan Freitag, senior vice president of lodging insights at STR, said he expects hotel construction to continue throughout the year. But because of the low customer demand caused by the coronavirus crisis, hotel developers are not in a rush to open and projects will spend more time in construction. Also impacting the timelines are the availability of building materials due to supply chain disruptions and challenges in finding skilled laborers who want to work during a pandemic. This episode of Lodging Leaders podcast looks at the current state of hotel construction and explores what the future might hold with regard to new development in the shadow of COVID-19. We interviewed construction company executives and hotel developers to get an idea of the challenges they're facing in getting a job completed and opened.

This week Glenn dips his fingers into the vault to pull out a lost episode. And it's awesome.  Hear the history of Las Vegas through the prism of its oldest steakhouse, the Golden Steer, which opened in 1958. Owner Michael Signorelli tells a great tale about how this became a famous haunt for entertainers, the mafia and high rollers. The Golden Steer Steakhouse is also known for its famous and infamous customers such as: Tony "The Ant" Spilatro, Natalie Wood, Al Hirt, Nat "King" Cole, Joe DiMaggio, Elvis Presley and Mario Andretti just to name a few. Here's a few more: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. who found refuge here away from racism on The Strip. The story is told by owner Dr. Michael Signorelli as well as Kevin Ball, Corporate Vice President - Strategic Sourcing at American Casino & Entertainment Properties (Stratosphere and more). Plus, a special appearance by Bruce Ford, SVP Business Development with Lodging Econometrics.

Glenn chats with AAHOA Chairman Bruce Patel and Chip Rogers, AAHOA's President & CEO. With nearly 16,000 members representing nearly half the hotels in this county, this association is a massive force both in the industry and on Capitol Hill. But it wasn't always that way. AAHOA stands for the Asian American Hotel Owners Association and we discuss how a small group of Indian immigrants faced unrelenting racism and financial challenges to achieve the American dream. Now, the second and third generation are in charge, and this group is changing everything about the hotel business. Learn how. But first Glenn chats with Bruce Ford, SVP of Lodging Econometrics, all about the rapid growth of soft-brand hotels. Though you may not know what they are, they're an increasingly integral part of the hotel industry. Especially for those hotels you think are independent. Guess what, it's more likely that's not quite true. Drop us a line at Glenn@rouse.media.
