MEMPHIS, TN, Sept. 3,
2015— Officials of the Southern Lodging Summit, an annual gathering of
hoteliers specializing in development and operations in the southern United
States, today released results of its first annual “State-of-the-Industry”
report revealing a continued upbeat mood by attendees of the recently concluded
13th annual conference.
Attendees were queried on
such topics as the future outlook for the industry, the impact of Airbnb and
which technologies will play the most important role in hotels moving forward.
“Now is an excellent time
to be in the hospitality industry, and our conference attendees clearly believe
the good times lie ahead for the foreseeable future,” said Chuck Pinkowski, president of Pinkowski & Company and
conference co-founder.
“Fifty-eight percent of
respondents believe 2016 will be even stronger than 2015, and the remaining 42
percent opined the industry would stay at its already healthy levels. No one responded that 2016 will be worse.
“Barring an unforeseen
black swan event, our panelists and attendees were unanimous in their opinion
that the future remains very bright for hoteliers both in the Southern U.S. and
nationwide.”
