Next week, AAHOA unveil the full results of the Oxford Economics Study: AAHOA Ownership & Economic Impact. The new section on AAHOA.com will feature the full national report, an interactive map, and more. AAHOA engaged Oxford Economics, an  leader in global forecasting and quantitative analysis, to conduct an impact analysis of our more than 34,000 member-owned hotels on the U.S. economy. “AAHOA Members are the heart and soul of the hospitality industry and will continue to play an essential role in our nation’s economic recovery,” AAHOA President & CEO Ken Greene said.
  
The AAHOA Officers and brand executives will host a Brand Alliance Meeting 4-5 p.m. Tuesday, October 5 during the 2021 Best Western North American Convention, slated for October 5-7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. These meetings give AAHOA Members the chance to have face-to-face interactions with leadership to further dialogue about the important topics on the minds of owners and serve to further strengthen AAHOA's valuable relationships and encourage open lines of communication with brand partners. Don't miss this chance to voice your questions and concerns directly to leadership. Register now.

Truist Securities (formerly SunTrust Robinson Humphrey) reports, “Last week’s RevPAR was up against a -51.7% comparable result in 2020 vs. -51.6% in the prior week’s 2-year run-rate. On a 2-year run-rate, RevPAR was -12.8% vs. -13.9% in the prior week’s 2-year run-rate. Upscale RevPAR: +85.2% y/y and -20.7% over 2 years; Upper Midscale RevPAR: +63.8% y/y and -3.8% over 2 years. Y/y and 2-yr comps are going to be noisy for several more weeks with Rosh Hashanah starting Sunday 9/29/19 and Friday 9/18/20 – resulting in some leisure and business/group travel adjusted for the holidays. On an absolute 2021 basis, we note continued soft demand in midweek for many Top 25 markets and strong results for the weekend – booming especially for limited-service properties. But results vary widely especially for midweek. Economy ADR was up a very healthy 10.9% vs. 2019 vs. -2.0% for the industry.”
