"The Economic Ascent of the Hotel Business, Second Edition is an excellent piece of scholarship that industry participants would be well advised to consider in their strategic planning."
Taken from Economic transformation drives Latin America’s lodging industry, An industry white paper, September 2013 Jones Lang La Salle
"For someone as devoted to the business as me, it is fascinating."
Sir David Michels, formerly Chief Executive, The Hilton Group
"Invaluable for analysts and corporate financiers forecasting the hotel business."
Simon M. Johnson, investment banker, UBS
"This will be a classic."
Michael Olsen, Professor Emeritus, Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management, Pamplin College of Business, Virginia Tech, USA
The Economic Ascent of the Hotel Business is about the hotel business and the economic contexts in which it has evolved. Now in its second edition, it is fully updated throughout and incorporates the monumental changes in the economic landscape of recent years and their effects on the hotel business. It also includes a new chapter which examines the options for the world economies, their implications for the hotel business and their impact on hotel chains in the decade to 2020.
Slattery illustrates that over the past 250 years the structural ascent of economies has driven the economic ascent of the hotel business to reach a global replacement cost of $3 trillion. As the structure of the world economies ascend from agriculture through the industrial, public service, service business and experience business segments so hotel demand and supply grows and diversifies and hotel chains emerge and grow to dominate the business. Slattery projects that by 2030, global hotel room stock could double to 30 million, the global major chains could triple to 12 million rooms and global replacement cost could triple to $9 trillion.
Essential reading for hotel executives, their advisors and investors, and a vital resource for those studying the hospitality industry.
