As goes the economy, so goes the hospitality industry: So what’s happening to the economy, capital markets and global hotel markets?

07 May 2010

Hotel Lawyer with the latest reports and forecasts on the economy, capital markets and global markets from industry leader presentations at JMBM’s 20th annual hotel conference — Meet the Money® 2010.

The close correlation between the economy and the hospitality industry provides a fascinating subject. Although it is somewhat intuitive that when the economy is growing and people are being hired, more is spent on travel, lodging and leisure . . . and the other way around.


Not surprisingly, virtually every seat was filled at JMBM’s 20th Meet the Money® conference for the special presentations on these topics. Here are the PowerPoint presentations from three of our industry leaders.

For other information from Meet the Money®, the hotel lawyers at JMBM’s Global Hospitality Group® are pleased to provide additional links below.
