US hotel industry leading indicator up in June, led by vacation barometer


DURHAM, NEW HAMPSHIRE USA - Future business activity in U.S. hotels rose in June according to the latest reading of the hotels' future business conditions  (HIL) indicator. e-forecasting.com's HIL, a composite indicator that gauges future monthly overall business conditions in the U.S. hotel industry, increased by 0.6% in June to 122.3, following an increase of 0.4% in May. The index is set to equal 100 in 2005.

Looking at HIL's six-month growth rate, which has historically confirmed the forthcoming turning points in U.S. hotel business activity, posted a positive rate of 7% in June, following a positive rate of 6.9% in May. This compares to a long-term annual growth rate of 3%, the same as the 30-year average annual growth rate of the industry's gross domestic product.

The probability of the hotel industry entering into recession in the near-term, which is detected in real-time from HIL with the help of sophisticated statistical techniques, registered 0.1% in June, down from 0.1% reported in May. When this recession-warning gauge passes the threshold probability of 50% for a more than three months, the U.S. hotel industry will enter a recession phase in its business cycle.

"Led by increases in vacation plans and housing market optimism, the early bird of hotel analytics rose in June for a 34th month in a row," said Maria Simos Sogard, CEO of e-forecasting.com.

Six of the forward looking indicators of business activity that comprise Hotel Industry Leading (HIL) Indicator had a positive contribution to its change in June: Hotel Profitability; Foreign Demand; Yield Curve; New Orders; Housing Activity and Vacation Barometer.  The three indicators of future business activity had a negative or zero contribution to HIL's change in June: Jobs Market; Hotel Worker Hours and Oil Prices.

"The lower energy prices seems to have increased optimism on travel for both consumers and business" said Maria Sogard, CEO of e­forecasting.com.
