⛷️ While some resorts make headway in providing more accessible options to travelers with mobility limitations, there is still work to be done as demand for disability-friendly accommodations exceeds the available supply.

Guest services director for the nonprofit Achieve Tahoe, Marina Gardiner, encourages industry players to consider developing their own programming or working with organizations specializing inclusive recreation 💡

There are adaptive skiing and riding opportunities, says one expert, but individuals with mobility limitations continue to face challenges upon arrival.

Leisure and Hospitality represented the 3rd largest sector for jobs growth for the month of March, finally achieving pre-pandemic employment levels 💪

Unemployment is below 4% for the 26th month in a row, the longest streak since the late 1960s.

For all intents and purposes — and by most economists’ predictions — job growth was supposed to slow by now, as the pandemic recovery grew complete. The US labor market also was supposed to weaken under the pressure of 11 interest rate hikes.

🌍 The UNWTO World Tourism Barometer reports that international tourism is making a remarkable comeback after the pandemic-induced slowdown. 2023 achieved 88% of pre-pandemic levels, with a staggering 1.3 billion international arrivals. By the end of 2024, the industry is projected to fully regain pre-COVID momentum.

Here are some key takeaways:

Middle East Momentum: The Middle East has surged ahead, surpassing 2019 levels with arrivals 22% higher than before.

European Recovery: Europe reached 94% of 2019 levels.

African Resilience: Africa rebounded impressively, hosting 96% of pre-pandemic visitors.

Americas Steady: The Americas maintained a solid 90%.

Asia’s Progress: Asia and the Pacific are catching up, currently at 65% of 2019 levels after reopening markets.

Looking ahead, a 2% growth above 2019 levels is predicted, contingent upon Asia’s recovery pace and mitigating economic and geopolitical risks.

💰 Economic Impact: International tourism generated USD 1.4 trillion in 2023 (equivalent to 93% of 2019 earnings). Total export revenues from tourism reached a substantial USD 1.6 trillion.

MADRID — According to the first UNWTO World Tourism Barometer of the year, international tourism ended 2023 at 88 per cent of pre-pandemic levels, with an estimated 1.3 billion international arrivals.

🏢 Business-focused hotels in major US gateway cities, which tend to be upscale and upper-upscale, did well in 2023 as business travel ramped up.

Meanwhile, American leisure travelers opted for more international travel, leaving some smaller domestic destinations with lower occupancy. Even luxury properties are seeing a shift, as more group bookings have put downward pressure on RevPAR.

Both 2022 and 2023 were banner years for U.S. hotels. But owners and operators may face more headwinds when it comes to profits in 2024.

Did holiday travel feel a little easier this time around?

You may recall that Christmas 2022 brought what some might call "chaos" to the US airline industry with extreme winter weather that led to a spate of cancelled flights across the country.

This year, air carriers fared much better with just 0.5% of flights being cancelled between December 21 and January 2, thanks to milder weather and improved staffing at airlines and air traffic control ✈️

U.S airlines showed strong performance over the 2023 holidays, cancelling just 0.5% of flights compared to the previous years' 10.5% when Southwest had its operational meltdown.
