    LODGING INDUSTRY TRENDS 2015 LODGING INDUSTRY TRENDS 2015 he lodging industry is boosting economic growth, marking five years of consecutive job creation. TThe latest trends reinforce the industry’s ability to create good-paying jobs, grow communities and promote tourism and travel across the United States. In the last year, there were more jobs and higher wages in our industry: the industry added more than 30,000 new hotel jobs and more than 100,000 new travel-related jobs, resulting in an increase of over $12 billion in travel-related wages and salaries, up six percent. The pace of hotel development remains robust: the total number of properties grew from some 52,000 properties to 53,432 properties; and rooms grew from some 4.8 million rooms to 4,978,705 rooms, in just one year. The industry also provides billions of dollars to communities across the country. Just this year, hotels generated $141.5 billion in business travel tax revenue, which is up $6.5 billion from last year. Travelers are spending more too. The typical business traveler spends about 3 percent more per night, and the typical leisure traveler spends about 6 percent more per night. Not only has the industry promoted domestic growth, but international travel to the U.S. continues to increase, making the U.S., by far, the top destination for international travel. By 2020, 96.4 million visitors are forecasted to visit, which amounts to an increase of 29 percent over 2014.

  • Quarterly Newsletter – Q2 2014
    30 Warwick Street London W1B 5NH www.jll.com/hospitality EMEA Quarterly Newsletter – Q2 2014 Industry Trends • According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), demand for international tourism remained strong in the first four months of 2014. International tourism arrivals grew 5%, the same rate as full year 2013. Prospects for the current peak tourism season remain very positive with over 450 million tourists expected to travel abroad in the May-August 2014 period. • Destinations worldwide received 317 million international overnight visitors between January and April 2014, 14 million more than in the same period of 2013. This 5% growth consolidates the strong increase registered for 2013 and is well above the long-term trend projected by the UNWTO for the period of 2010-2020 (3.8%). • The strongest growth was seen in Asia and the Pacific and the Americas (both up 6%), followed closely by Europe and Africa (up 5%). By sub-region, Northern Europe, South and Mediterranean Europe, North Africa and South Asia (all up 8%) were the star performers. • In terms of tourism expenditure, growth continues to be strong from emerging markets, in particular China, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia and India. Furthermore, demand from advanced economies is strengthening as the global economic situation gradually improves, with encouraging growth posted for Italy, Australia, the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. • According to the UNWTO confidence index, prospects remain very positive for the period May- August 2014. Confidence has picked up, particularly among the private sector, and improved further in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific and the Middle East.

Based on 27 in- depth interviews with owners and managers, we conclude that lifestyle entrepreneurs strive to meet the demands of contemporary backpackers by providing a specific ambience and outpacing more profit-oriented competitors. In addition, business owners work to sustain an explicitly hedonistic way of life to perpetuate their status as “senior” backpackers who offer customized, hard-to-imitate services. However, lifestyle entrepreneurs have also developed strategies to cope with increasing competition and recent demand-related trends.

  • The Ecological Footprint of Hostel Tourists in Ontario and Quebec
    THE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT OF HOSTEL TOURISTS IN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC by Claire Lynne Purvis A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Applied Environmental Studies In Geography - Tourism Policy and Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2008 Claire Lynne Purvis 2008 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Claire Purvis ii Abstract In recent years, the impacts of the tourism industry on the environment have become widely acknowledged. As tourism is predicted to continue growing in the next decade, there is an urgent need for the tourism sector to embrace sustainability principles in order that tourists may continue travelling, while placing minimal impacts on the natural environment. Although there is much debate over the concepts of sustainability and how it is to be measured, the Ecological Footprint has recently been proposed as a key indicator of sustainable tourism, due to its abilities to quantify the amount of land needed for tourism activities, and enable comparisons between tourism components through its global, standardized measurements. In this study, the ecological footprint was adapted to a tourism context, in order to measure the sustainability of backpacker tourism. As backpackers, or hostel tourists, tend to travel on low budgets and use fewer resources than the average tourist, it has been speculated that backpacker tourism is more environmentally friendly than some other forms of travel.

  • Hc3.2. National Strategies for Combating Homelessness
    OECD Affordable Housing Database – http://oe.cd/ahd OECD Directorate of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs - Social Policy Division HC3.2. NATIONAL STRATEGIES FOR COMBATING HOMELESSNESS Definitions and methodology This indicator presents an overview of strategies and major legislation tackling homelessness at the national and regional level, as reported by OECD, key partner and EU countries responding to the 2021 and 2019 OECD Questionnaire on Social and Affordable Housing (QuASH), and other sources. Homelessness strategies are defined as policy documents setting out targets and actions to tackle homelessness, requiring links across policy sectors. Further discussion of homelessness can be found in the OECD Policy Brief, Better data and policies to fight homelessness in the OECD, available online (and in French). Key findings Fewer than half of countries have an active national strategy to combat homelessness, while some have regional and/or local strategies in place According to the OECD Questionnaire on Affordable and Social Housing, 21 of 45 countries report having an active homelessness strategy in place: Canada, Chile, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, and the United States (Table HC3.2.1). The United Kingdom has separate homelessness strategies across the constituent countries of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In a number of countries, homelessness strategies ran through 2020; due to COVID-19, the updating of such strategies was likely postponed as policy makers focused on implementing on-the-ground solutions to support the homeless population during the pandemic (see Table HC3.2.2) .
