Choice Hotels Earnings Call Analysis:Choice Hotels is experiencing a mixed financial landscape, with a 14% year-over-year revenue growth but showing signs of deceleration from Q1 to Q2 2024. The company's franchise model and diverse brand portfolio remain strengths, enabling expansion and catering to various market segments. However, a slight decline in domestic RevPAR and limited international presence pose challenges. Opportunities lie in expanding extended-stay offerings, investing in technology, and tapping into sustainability trends. The company faces threats from intense competition, economic volatility, and changing consumer preferences. Despite these challenges, Choice Hotels' commitment to shareholder returns and ability to attract diverse travelers, including the growing Chinese and LGBTQ+ markets, position it for potential growth in a dynamic hospitality landscape.

June is known as the Pride month around the world. We asked 2 questions to our HR manager, Maud Lambert, about LGBTQIA+ thematic. 🌈 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐚 & @𝐢𝐡𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐬&𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡? One of the three major promises that IHG makes to its employees is "Room to Belong". This concretely means that IHG, as an employer, supports all its employees in various aspects of their lives, regardless of their differences, because it is crucial for us that everyone feels included and valued in their professional lives. Therefore, it is only natural that Crowne Plaza Brussels Airport is involved in supporting LGBTQIA+ rights during the month of June (and all the year long), as we believe that a diverse and inclusive culture allows the integration of varied perspectives. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲? 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡? In a daily life in our hotel, as coworker LGBTQIA+, you feel accepted and respected for your identity without fear of discrimination or harassment; you participate in team activities where your identity is respected rather than being a source of curiosity or exclusion and you feel comfortable to speak openly about your personal life without altering details to conceal your identity. Good to know also : all our job positions are open to X and each year. In June, we participate to Pride Month to raise awareness and foster inclusion within our staff. Throughout the month, we're highlighting the subject in our daily news and sharing key dates related to the LGBTQIA+ cause. On top, we are going to organize a workshop on inclusion to raise awareness among participants of the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ people and to further promote an inclusive and respectful work environment. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 #GoFurtherTogether #allies #hospitality #interview #ExperienceIHG

No Downloads! Hospitality teams in the hotel and restaurant industry have a hard time training and upskilling employees. I know because after working for years trying to build an LGBTQ friendly travel marketplace, I was tired of hearing 'Our employees need the training but we can't afford it right now.' I've done training and employee talks time and time again in my years as an advocate and there was no way I was going to go back in front of employees again and do that again. Absolutely no way. Until now...using mobile and text. Pink Coconuts has built a collection of fun, cool, media rich, conversational, gamified courses for hospitality teams. From Customer Service Essentials, Wine 101, Understanding Allergens and Food Preferences to Welcoming LGBTQ Guests of course! Plus many more. I'm excited to share our demo with Hotel and Restaurant Executives. Please reach out, i'd be happy to chat! #hospitality #tourism #elearning #ai #customerservice #training #edtech #futureofwork #inclusion #hotels #restaurants #employeeengagement

What can be a driving force to Inspire Inclusion of female talented professionals in hospitality's Leisure time animators industry? 1. Crafting Personalized Experiences Women naturally bring a thoughtful touch to their programming, catering to a diverse array of guest preferences, owing to their innate ability to craft personalized and inclusive leisure experiences. 2.

Infusing Creativity and Empathy Creativity and empathy are at the core of what female animators bring to the table.

Fostering Inclusivity Female animators contribute to fostering a more inclusive atmosphere within hotels and resorts. This inclusivity aligns seamlessly with the evolving expectations of today's global travelers. 5. Navigating Cultural Sensitivity In our interconnected world, cultural sensitivity is paramount.

In conclusion, the place of female leisure time animators in the hospitality industry is not just a matter of representation but a recognition of the unique skills and perspectives they bring to the forefront. Their presence not only enhances guest experiences but also sets a positive example for the industry's continued commitment to diversity and empowerment.

Celebrate Diversity Month was established in April 2004 to recognize and honor the diversity surrounding us all. By celebrating differences and similarities during this month, the hope is to get people to have a deeper understanding of each other. To celebrate Celebrate Diversity Month, you can engage in a variety of activities that promote understanding, acceptance, and education about different cultures and communities. Here are some suggestions: 1. Educational Events and Workshops: Attend workshops, seminars, or panel discussions that focus on diverse cultures, histories, and perspectives. 2. Cultural Experiences: Take the opportunity to experience different cultural activities, whether that's through food, music, dance, or art exhibitions. 3. Reading and Learning: Commit to reading books or watching films that explore diverse cultures, stories, and histories. 4. Community Service: Volunteer for organizations that support diverse communities or that work towards inclusivity and equality. 5. Support Minority-Owned Businesses: Make an effort to support businesses owned by individuals from underrepresented communities. This can help promote economic diversity and empowerment. 6. Social Media Awareness: Share information, stories, and educational resources about diversity and inclusion on social media platforms. Celebrating diversity is not just about a one-time event or activity; it's about incorporating an appreciation for diversity into your everyday life. #CelebrateDiversityMonth offers a focused time to start or continue these efforts, but the goal is to make inclusivity and respect a constant practice.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) play a crucial role in marketing for business events. Inclusivity in event marketing ensures that everyone feels welcome and represented. According to a study by Factory 360, inclusive marketing creates a perception of progressiveness and inclusivity for companies. It's not just about being diverse; it's about embracing diversity authentically and promoting equality. Let's make our marketing efforts more inclusive by showcasing diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences. By doing so, we create an environment where attendees from all backgrounds can connect, engage, and feel a sense of belonging. Together, we can build better events that celebrate diversity and drive positive change!

🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 As we celebrate Pride Month, it's essential to reflect on the significance of diversity and inclusivity in our workplaces. Pride Month isn't just about rainbow flags and parades; it's about recognizing and honoring the diverse experiences and identities that make our communities vibrant and our workplaces stronger. Organizations that embrace diversity and promote inclusivity within their company culture are not only fostering a more equitable environment but also reaping the benefits of a diverse workforce. Extensive research has shown that diverse teams are more innovative, make better decisions, and are better equipped to tackle complex challenges. I want to congratulate the companies that prioritize diversity and inclusivity, not just during Pride Month, but year-round. By creating spaces where individuals feel valued and respected regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, or background, these organizations are setting a powerful example for others to follow. Let's continue to champion diversity and inclusion in the workplace, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it's also a smart business decision. Together, we can create environments where everyone can thrive and contribute their unique perspectives. Happy Pride Month to all! 🌟 #PrideMonth #DiversityandInclusion #InclusiveWorkplaces
