LODGING INDUSTRY TRENDS 2015

4.8 MILLIONAverage number

1.9 MILLIONEmployed by

hotel properties

The lodging industry is boosting economic growth, marking five years of consecutive job creation. The 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.
