07/20/2011 NGOS AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS RANK LAST ON THE RESPONSIBILITY SCALE In a noteworthy change, survey respondents placed NGOs and international organizations last on the scale of responsibility for sustainable development issues. This observation seems to indicate that the time for enhancing awareness and encouraging action has passed and must now give way to more practical measures that enable customers to make a direct contribution. Cultural differences seem to influence the order in which respondents place those they see as primarily responsible for sustainable development. The government and individual citizens topped the list in France, Germany and Brazil. In these countries, respondents widely insisted on their own role in the process, with results above 70 percent overall and above 80 percent in Brazil.

07/19/2011 ACCOR LAUNCHES RESEARCH ON SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Accor Hotels has launched Earth Guest Research, a platform for sharing knowledge on social and environmental issues relating to the hotel industry. The goal of sharing the research is to help advance the tourism industrys efforts in this area by making sustainable development surveys and methodologies available to all industry operators, as well as to the general public. To identify effective improvement drivers and enhance support from guests, Accor initiated the survey by finding out exactly what their concerns and expectations are with regard to sustainable development. As a result, the first Earth Guest Research publication is dedicated to this topic.

07/17/2011 HOTEL TRANSACTION MARKET IN EUROPE PICKS UP Deal volume had been stymied by a lack of lending, but as liquidity has returned, so have the hotel trades, said Mark Wynne Smith, who leads the EMEA division of Jones Lang LaSalle. Year-to-date through May, the region has noted a 130% increase in transactions, he said. Two recent, high-profile examples of the warming deals market in Europe: In April, the 192-room Marriott Champs-Elyses in Paris was sold by Union Investment Real Estate to an undisclosed buyer for 215 million (US$310.98 million); and in May, the 83-room Hotel Costes K in Paris was acquired by The Ascott Limited for 65 million (US$94.04 million), according to information provided by HVS.

06/23/2011 TRAVELLERS HAPPIER WITH HOTELS, NOT SO WITH AIRLINES, STUDY FINDS Guest satisfaction with hotels has increased, while passenger satisfaction with airlines has declined in the last year, an annual survey of travellers that's out today finds. Travellers rated hotels nearly 3% higher than last year in the American Customer Satisfaction Index, which measures travellers' satisfaction with products and services during the first quarter of each year. On a scale of zero to 100, travellers gave hotels an average score of 77. Low rates and more perks such as free Wi-Fi and upgraded exercise facilities have increased satisfaction, says Claes Fornell, founder of the index, which this year surveyed 2,250 hotel guests and 1,750 airline passengers.
