Boston Hospitality Review is proud to present a powerful new monthly feature, Hospitality Stockwatch. This tool provides access to detailed data on the performance and valuation of stocks within the hospitality sector. 

The sheer quantity of data and information about companies that could potentially help inform investments, business decisions, and even one’s career path is staggering. Today, we have the power to access instantaneous reports on topics ranging from hotel trends to airline industry performance, restaurant traffic, and more — all thanks to a variety of resources including GPS technology, ID card swipes, and third-party providers. Additionally, we are able to keep abreast with economic data released by public national entities such as government agencies. There are consultants and experts who synthesize all these factors into cohesive analyses and forecasts which can be incredibly helpful and create dialogue. The conglomeration of this data can be used to help project future operating prospects for various industries or companies in question. 

However, rather than layers of informatics, what if there was just one focal point to capture all this information? Some would argue that a company’s stock price encapsulates much of the story, and you don’t have to look much further. 

With this streamlined approach in mind, Boston Hospitality Review is excited to offer a groundbreaking resource that’s sure to revolutionize the hospitality industry. Our work in progress provides regular access to essential pieces of information.
