Is the hotel industry bouncing back—or just bouncing around? I caught up with Bruce Ford, SVP at Lodging Econometrics, during NYU IHIF, to tell hashtag#NoVacancyNews his razor-sharp perspective on where we really stand when it comes to hospitality investment, development, and demand. 🎧 Here’s why you’ll want to hit play: • Conference crowds are shrinking—what does that signal for the broader economy? • Owners are cutting back, but is that a sign of strength or stress? • Why “drive-to” travel might be your MVP this summer • Conversions are up—new builds, not so much • What brand consolidations really mean for the development landscape • The looming 2025 reckoning: why hard decisions can’t be delayed any longer 💡 Whether you're on the ops side or scouting your next big project, this episode is packed with no-nonsense insights and forward-looking trends that matter now.
