US occupancy will drop at least 10% in 2009, due to the largest supply increase in history.
If you want to make money in 2009, you better move fast. In a contracting market with declining pricing power and increasing competitors, your only source for new revenue will be through aggressive market share warfare and cutting costs immediately. Each day of indecision can cost thousands of dollars in rooms that can never be sold again.
