Since 1936, Trends® in the Hotel Industry has provided in-depth analysis of hotel revenues, expenses, and profits, compiling thousands of financial statements from various hotels across the nation. From these statements, our firm extracts and uniformly formats 200 specific revenue and expense items to ensure equitable benchmarking. The results of the compilation are presented in our annual and monthly Trends® in the Hotel Industry reports.

With your participation, and the submissions of thousands of other U.S. hotels in the survey, Trends® is the most widely used and detailed survey of its type.
