Many PIPs were put on hold during COVID lockdowns. With people travelling again, hotel brands are catching up on renovations, brand refreshes, conversions, and new construction. According to Lodging Economics, there are currently 6,095 projects and 713,151 rooms in the construction pipeline in the U.S. With all of these projects in the pipeline, finding qualified contractors for your projects requires planning.
As we’ve seen with the Olympics and Paralympics in Paris, international sporting events are a boon for the hospitality industry. From guest rooms to restaurants to spa services, sports fans are ready to spend money outside sports venues for quality experiences. That’s why FIFA’s choice of 16 host cities in North America for the 2026 World Cup adds a sense of urgency for hotels in those cities to update or upgrade their properties quickly. Even if you don’t have properties in the host cities, international visitors will take side trips to explore the U.S. before and after the World Cup.
