Abstract
Revenue in the hotels and accommodations market grew between 2003 and 2008. However, when inflation is factored in, growth was found to be a sober 7% and is forecast to gain only 1% between 2008 and 2013 in inflation adjusted dollars. The softening of the U.S. economy and the market' s failure to capture a large enough share of international travelers are driving factors.
