Savannah, Georgia is one of the strongest Airbnb markets in the US. It received a near perfect 99/100 AIRDNA Market Score. Even with 3235 live Airbnb listings on the market, multiple niche opportunities exist as shown in the video. As a micro example, 70% of Airbnb hosts don’t allow 1 night stays in Savannah. Hence, if you just allowed 1 night stays, you’d be competing against only 30% of Airbnb hosts. What are your thoughts on the Savannah, Georgia Airbnb market? #savannah #georgia #georgiastate #savannahlife #savannahrealestate #vrbo #vrbohost #Airbnb #airbnbbusiness #airbnbsuperhost #savannahrealtor #realestateagent #georgiarental

#Golflife: Good morning! Welcome to the weekend. Saturday is now about golf (and work.) “Don’t be too proud to take lessons. I’m not.” Jack Nicklaus, Champion Golfer. Several decades ago, the golf season ended at the start of Fall. In addition, there was no “silly season” to end a year. In other words, there were several weeks with no events to play. Golfers would get rusty and need time to reset their skills. Every winter, Mr. Nicklaus would get with his only teacher, Jack Grout, and begin a new year with several lessons. In these lessons they worked on basics, the fundamentals that Nicklaus had to manage before & during every shot. As the winner of the most major championships (18), it certainly worked. In a career, I have always believed in “great basics.” I believed in doing the everyday things extraordinarily well. If we could do this, we would succeed over the long years of a career. Well, that idea worked for me. Never the smartest person in the room, I plunged into doing those things well that would advance my organization and people. It worked. I had a solid career, keeping the “ball in the fairway” much of the time (with a great deal of help.) it’s a good idea to be solid in the basics, to know how your company makes money and to help it make more. And when you need a “lesson or two” talk to your manager, or find a mentor or coach who will have your back. Thank you for reading. Enjoy your Saturday.

Sonesta Hotels RLH Properties RLH EQUITY PARTNERS America's Best Value Inn Red Lion Hotels Corporation Knights Inn Sonesta Hotel El Olivar Sonesta ES So let's talk about hotels and "military" discounts that are falsely advertising such discounts. I googled this hotel brand that I was interested in staying at and looked to see if they have a military discount. This page comes up https://lnkd.in/gA2wzDtm It says you get 10% off as active duty or veteran traveling on personal time. You would think this is off their normal rates but their normal low rates are cheaper without the military discount from the above link. Using the Government price that is in their main drop-down you can save a couple of dollars depending on when and where you book which is still better than the military discount. The only "perk" supposedly is free parking but that is $5 a day at most of their hotels which still isn't a 10% savings. Advertising should be better.

Cutting costs is crucial right now because everything's getting more expensive. Saving where you can is a must. Lodging is a major expense that often gets overlooked. Many assume hotels are the only option, but that's not true. Corporate housing offers significant savings compared to hotels, making it a smart alternative. Explore your options and see how much you can save. P.S. Have you considered corporate housing to cut costs in your industry? What’s your experience?

Buyer Beware! Thinking about investing in a vacation rental property here in Miami? Here’s a Tangy Management tip: Skip the studios and one-bedroom units and go big! Here’s why: 🏠 More Space, More options: Two-bedroom units and larger offer ample space, making them ideal for groups of friends and families traveling together. It’s about creating unforgettable memories under one roof! 🥊Avoid the Competition: Smaller units often compete directly with hotels. With larger properties, you set yourself apart from the typical hotel stay, offering unique amenities and the comfort of a ‘home away from home.’ 🛋️ Enhanced Guest Experience: Larger rentals often mean more features like full kitchens, private outdoor spaces, and multiple bathrooms, enhancing the overall guest experience and satisfaction. 💵Maximize Your Earnings: With the ability to accommodate more guests, larger properties can command higher rental rates and better occupancy, maximizing your investment return. 🔑 A Smart Investment: Choosing a property that appeals to a broader audience means more booking opportunities and less downtime. Invest wisely in a vacation rental that brings people together and stands out from the crowd. #VacationRentalInvestment #TravelSmart #PropertyInvestment #GroupTravel

The JACKSONVILLE (FL) Hospitality Market Update Year End 2023 2023 YTD Occ 68.4% ADR $147.69 Revpar $97.50 Boasting 22 miles of beaches, Jacksonville, on Florida’s northeast coast, is a city of diverse neighborhoods with a top-notch arts and culture scene, unbeatable food, and a wide variety of family-friendly attractions, parks, and nature preserves. JAXPORT recently completed its harbor deepening project several years ahead of the original schedule. The project was necessary to meet the needs of larger cargo ships transiting from the Suez and Panama canals, and the new 47-foot depth for the channel will position JAXPORT as the first U.S. East Coast port of call for fully loaded new Panamax class vessels. Jacksonville had an inventory of about 30,000 hotel rooms at the end of 2023. It is experiencing a robust expansion of its hotel inventory. Eight properties totaling about 900 rooms were scheduled to open by the end of 2023. Inventory growth will remain elevated in 2024, with nearly 800 rooms under construction and scheduled to open during the year. Seven of the eight openings in 2023 were Upper Midscale or Upscale properties. Upscale openings included the 120-room SpringHill Suites Jacksonville Baymeadows that opened in February, the 156-room SpringHill Suites Jacksonville Beach Oceanfront that opened in April, the largest addition in 2023, and the 120-room Hyatt Place St. Augustine that opened in October. The 122-room WoodSpring Suites Jacksonville Orange Park was the only addition not in the Upper Midscale or Upscale hotel classes. Hotel performance is expected to remain weak in early 2024 before improving in the second half of the year. RevPAR is projected to decline about 2% in 2024, despite modest growth in ADR, due to the supply-side pressure on occupancy.

During a recent trip to the Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Bonnet Creek in Orlando/Disney, I saw this on the refrigerator in our room. I really like the idea of this internal promotion of their restaurants, resort experiences, and guest relations all on one easy to use (QR Codes) magnet. It does a few things well: 1. Informs guests of their on-property options 2. Ease of use for guests 3. Alleviates long waits/ticket times for the hotel Utilizing this simple way of displaying your property’s options can really elevate your guests experience.

#Golflife: Good morning! Welcome to the weekend. “There is no such thing as natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls.” Lee Trevino, Championship Golfer. They make it look easy. The men and women who play golf for a paycheck are a marvel to watch. The way they practice, plan out their rounds, plan out their next shots should be an example for every business and business leader. As a long time fan, a favorite place for me was on the practice range of a professional event. Watching the swings of the best players always helped me and my less than adequate skill set. It was great fun, an amazing learning opportunity. One that I took advantage of no matter who was hitting those “millions of golf balls.” They may it look easy because they have done the work. They have built a game through instruction and practice. No matter who they are, they continue the upkeep through instruction and practice. It is a great lesson, no matter what we do. Putting in the work pays off. Putting in the work with a trained eye will create a fun pasttime for life. At work, we look to get better, build skills, and move up for a bigger paycheck. We want more. A better job, bigger perks. We just need to look to the practice area for the lesson. Putting in the work pays off. No matter what they have done, how many trophies they own, golfers know that to keep the paychecks coming, they must continue to put in the work. The same holds true for us. In a world gone mad with change, we should recognize that to stay up, we need to keep up with the changes. It matters no matter what we do. Regardless of your industry, be sure to hang out on your practice tee and put in the work. The best tend to always make it look easy. Thank you for reading. (these are my words and opinions only.) #practice #instruction #work #prep.

STR/CoStar released the weekly U.S. Hotel performance for the last full week of April...started strong with the Easter shift, then hung on strong in week two as the country plunged into darkness with the eclipse. However, the last week ended with a fizzle down -2.5% in RevPAR the last full week. Generally speaking, leisure markets have been losing demand rapidly as consumers slow down on travel spending [in the U.S.], corporate demand remains slow to return, and the summer is not exactly peak season for Group demand. Any potential for substantial growth in Group demand won't be realized until the fall....assuming that the economy doesn't deteriorate. Just to hammer it home, extended YoY and 12 month occupancy decreases have preceded every modern day recession; AND extended YoY and 12- month demand decreases have ONLY been a result of a recession. As of March, all four metrics have turned negative with accelerating decreases.

Renovations are especially attractive in our high interest rate environment. This applies across all industries.

More retail than restaurants in this article but the truth of the matter is that retail and restaurants are facing hurricane-force headwinds with regard to over-expansion (first), online shopping, inflation, labor challenges, and the sheer fact that real authenticity (and quality in the restaurant chain business) has mostly disappeared. What’s next? More consolidation and contraction… #restaurantindustry #restaurantsRISE #retailindustry #contraction #onlineshopping
