  • The Changing Face of Hotel Investing

  • By Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President Development & Acquisition, The Trump Organization

  • Co-authored by David Orowitz, Vice President of Development, The Trump Organization

    If you believe everything you read about the current state of hotel development and investing, you might be inclined to give it a pass. But from where we sit, though profits from hotel operations are way down industry wide, the opportunity to create value on the investment side is stronger than it has been in years. Combining a long term strategic vision with astute instinct and the appetite to act upon marketplace opportunity can put hotel investors in the right place at the right time today.

    At The Trump Organization, experience as hotel owner, developer and operator provides a unique perspective on what is possible, whether it is new development, completion of stalled projects, or repositioning of assets.

Hotel Human Resources: The Biggest Challenges
The economic challenges of the past four years have led many hotel companies to re-examine the ways in which they do business and how they deploy talent. In many cases, the work did not go away and fewer people were left to carry on the tasks that had previously been shared among many.

This "new norm" of operating with leaner teams has led Human Resources professionals and people managers to look at career development and growth opportunities in a new light. The March Hotel Business Review will take a look at some of the strategies being used by successful hotel brands, and techniques human resource directors are currently exploring.
