Budget season feels tighter—and more uncertain—than ever.
At The Lodging Conference, I spoke with Joseph Bojanowski, President of PM Hotel Group, about how he's tackling budgeting, inflation, and a confusing economic outlook heading into next year.
Here's what stood out:
👉 Hotels can't control government shutdowns, tariffs, or global politics—but they can control performance delivery.
👉 Joseph's team focuses on guest experience and value—if the stay feels worth more, guests are willing to pay more.
👉 Group business shows real strength, with Q1 and Q2 bookings up 107% year over year, driven by strong event demand.
👉 Even as uncertainty grows, consumer travel remains resilient, especially across leisure and group segments.
👉 The path forward? Focus internally—on what you can control, and make every guest interaction count.
Joseph summed it up perfectly: "Performance, performance, performance."
