Stretching yourself too thin means that no one gets enough of your attention, which defeats the purpose. #IntentionalLeadership, providing a stellar #GuestExperience, and learning to say "no" to what you know you can't take on is critical. #HospitalityLeaders
In #hospitality, the unseen moments matter most. It’s not just about avoiding bad reviews but showing genuine care in every interaction. A simple smile or thoughtful follow-up can turn a stay into a cherished memory. Attention and kindness build lasting loyalty. #ServiceWithSoul
Last-minute bookings are rising, especially in cities like New York, but #travelers are willing to pay higher rates closer to arrival. This means #hotels should rethink early-bird discounts and focus on #DynamicPricing to capture late demand. @skiftskift.com/2025/08/08/the-ris…
Love seeing teams come together for something bigger than business. Every toy is more than a gift -- it’s a moment of joy and comfort for families in challenging times. Huge kudos to the #PAH team for making a real difference. 💙 #PAHGivesBack
The PAH team came together for a Toy Drive supporting @RMHDallas! From baby toys to teen gifts, every donation helps bring a little joy to families facing tough times. Grateful to give back to a great cause. 💙 #PAHGivesBack#RMHDallas#ToyDrive#HospitalityCares
U.S. #hotel performance remains mixed amid near-term headwinds and tough YOY comps from last year’s storms. Sociopolitical factors add pressure in some markets, but with July likely the low point, #demand is expected to strengthen through the quarter.
U.S. #hospitality saw its fourth straight week of #RevPAR decline (down -3.3% YoY) during the July 13-19 week, reflecting softer demand (-1.8%) and a slight dip in ADR (-0.7%). While occupancy held at 71.6%, it’s clear travelers are being more selective. str.com/data-insights-blog/s…
Staying strong on your positions builds #respect and fosters #trust. It proves integrity, especially when tested. #corevalues set expectations for company performance and develop engagement and inspiration. When a team aligns on values, trust and results naturally follow.
U.S. #RevPAR looks flat (-0.1%), but Vegas (-28.7%) skewed results. Top 25 markets (excluding Las Vegas) held steady (-0.2%), while rural areas varied. Macro trends often mask #local realities, and success demands market-by-market agility. #Hospitality
Data from the first week of July showed the #July4th week boosted early-week travel—RevPAR up 6.6%. Luxury dipped slightly after 16 strong weeks. #Summer looks uneven: weaker international demand, but stadium concerts & a weaker dollar may help. ☀️ str.com/data-insights-blog/s…
Notably, TSA screenings rose while #hotel demand fell, signaling a shift to alternative accommodations such as short-term rentals, cruises, and camping. These alternatives now pose material headwinds, compounded by #internationaltravel imbalances during peak #summer season.
I've seen more teens skip gritty #firstjobs now, internships replace diner shifts. But those jobs teach #skills that stay with you: working exhausted, respecting unseen labor, and showing up on time.
What did your first job teach you?
Three ways to address hospitality's labor challenge:
- Tech-infused training programs
- Career rebranding
- Earn-while-you-learn models
The future workforce wants meaningful #techcareers, and we can build them in #hospitality. forbes.com/sites/scottwhite/…
Strong #leaders prioritize connection over control. They know #trust and connection are the foundation of demanding #excellence while supporting growth. Trust isn’t earned through fear; it’s built on reliability. Strong leaders build. Tough leaders break.
68% of #hospitality workers & 47% of managers are burning out from understaffing, long hours & tough guests taking their toll. Yet 3/4 rarely get feedback from managers. Personal, regular #recognition triples engagement. Silence costs us talent & morale. hotelexecutive.com/business_…
EY data: Hotel loyalty programs hit 675M members but remain transactional. Our challenge is to build #guestloyalty by transforming digital convenience (44% investing in UX) into real emotional engagement. hoteldive.com/news/reward-re…
National #hoteltrends mask #regional realities. While Vegas struggles, Orlando thrives. Tailor pricing to micro-markets, track #local demand drivers daily, and act on neighborhood-level data. Recovery favors the geographically savvy. costar.com/article/203669421…
In high-pressure environments, even well-intentioned communication can trigger conflict. Stay calm under pressure: Pause. Name the emotion. Respond with clarity. Civility reduces conflict, boosts morale, and drives results. #Leadership
While the U.S. #hotel rebound is encouraging, it’s clear that major markets like Las Vegas (-17.4% RevPAR) and Houston (-3.4%) are still lowering national averages. Excluding these two markets, U.S. #RevPAR actually grew 4.2% showing #regional nuances matter.
U.S. hotels rebounded last week! 📈 RevPAR 3.3% as later school breaks & Juneteenth travel boosted demand. Northern markets & long weekends drove gains. #HotelTrendsstr.com/data-insights-blog/s…
