Thank you for attending the 2nd Annual Hotel Economic Forecast Lunch Meeting
For the better part of 2022 through 2023, the hotel industry has been in a steady state of recovery – does this mean we are back to normal? After the past couple of years, do we even know what normal leisure, business and international travel looks like? If not, how do we budget for next year?
SDCLA hosted the 2nd Annual Hotel Economic Forecast on Thursday, September 14, 2023, at the Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter.
We would like to thank our 2024 Hotel Economic Forecast Lunch Sponsors,
