F or almost 15 years,
Hotelier has
dedicated its May issue to the topic of investment ( see Investment
Roundtable and stories, starting on p. 10
Clearly, investors are the lifeblood of the
industry. They demonstrate condence in business, allow developers to create new hotel entities and motivate operators to upgrade their properties through renova- tions, refurbishment and expansion. But, as each downturn teaches us, it"s hard to generate investment without strong travel patterns and solid growth. It"s therefore reassuring for hoteliers to learn that global demand g enera tors show consumer confidence and strength is on the upswing. For example, according to a recent global travel trends survey by global forecaster Oxford Economics, The global travel industry is poised for a period of sustained growth over the next decade, driven in part by China "s share of global outbound travel, reaching as much as 20 per cent by 2023 Oxford Economic"s survey, Shaping the Future of Travel: Macro tre nds driving industry growth over the next decade," predicts an optimistic macro-economic outlook for global travel in the next decade. The survey shows the [travel] industry is projected to outstrip global GDP by appro xi mately two per cent, growing 5.4 per cent per annum," states the repo rt. Perhaps not surprisingly, China"s growth in outbound travel, whic h as recently as 2005 was just one per cent, is expected to overtake the U.S. to become the world"s largest outbound travel market this year, with the number of Chinese households able to afford overseas travel set to more than double in the next 10 years to reach 220 million. China will also become the biggest domestic travel market by 2017, driven largely by rapidly increasing GDP, rising employment levels and higher consumer spending," says the report. But China isn"t the only nation expected to grow outbound travel. According to the report, forecasts show other large emerging markets suc h as Russia, Brazil, India, Indonesia and Turkey will each average more th an ve-per-cent annual growth over the next 10 years, driven largely by rising wealth and changing consumer habits. Despite recent economic troubles in the Eurozone, Europe is expected to retain the lion"s share of tourism ows, but, perhaps not surprisi ngly Asia is the fastest-growing region for travel. As for Canada, with such signicant global growth predicted, isn"t it prime time we improved our marketing efforts to tap into this growing body of travellers?

hoteliermagazine.com Banff"s towering mountains and lush national park served as the background for the 94th annual AHLA Convention and Trade Show, held last month at The Banff Centre in Alberta. Organized by the Alberta Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), the show featured three jam-packed days lled with networking opportunities and awards ceremo nies recognizing industry-leading housekeeping across the province. Industry leaders, along with members of the gov ernment and post-secondary institutions, also met during a Town Hall Meeting, where they discussed strategies to solve the upcoming labour shortage in the hospitality industry. Meanwhile, break-out sessions informed operators on how to better optimize hotel booking channels, raise housekeep ing standards and manage their online reputations. When members weren"t learning, they were checking out the nearly
90 hospitality exhibitors showing a range of products, from
