During the most recent hurricanes that destroyed parts of the southern United States and Caribbean islands, hotels played a major role in providing shelter and assistance to displaced individuals and families.
Dr. Suzanne Bagnera, Clinical Assistant Professor, and Leora Halpern Lanz, Lecturer, discuss the role that hotels play during natural disasters.
“Keeping rates in check and not inflating our price gauging is important. Some hotels have worked with offering lower rates for locals, that is the more community-minded effort to have. However, individual owners are the ones that sometimes cause media stirrups by capitalizing on the challenges of others,” said Dr. Suzanne Bagnera.
