Marriott International President and CEO Arne Sorenson continues to speak out against travel restrictions sought by the Trump administration, telling the Financial Times that he is among a group that is advocating the administration to encourage travel to the U.S.

“We are trying to encourage the administration to say: while we might be working on some of these other issue (such as security risks), we actually want to communicate a welcome to the rest of the world and encourage travel,” Sorenson said. “Obviously, that voice does not seem very audible yet, but we’ll continue to work on it.

Sorenson said tourists are the group most likely to avoid traveling to the U.S. this summer, but added that he knows of “at least a few instances” in which corporate groups chose to hold meetings in Canada rather than the U.S., because attempts to implement a travel ban on visitors to the U.S. from certain countries has “harmed the country’s reputation as a friendly destination.”

A ruling by India’s Supreme Court that bans the sale of liquor within 500 meters of national and state highways is making hotel employees and executives “nervous and uncertain” of the future, The Times of India reports.

Raj Rana, Carlson Rezidor Group’s chief executive for the South Asia region, said that although there have been no layoffs so far at its properties in India, “if the situation doesn’t improve, the chain may have to take some steps to protect its profitability margin,” according to the newspaper.

“Out of 1,758 liquor permit holders in Pune district, around 1,600 restaurants and hotels have been prohibited from serving liquor following the ban. 30% of the staff is gone and about 500 restaurants have shut,” said Ganesh Shetty, president of the Pune Restaurant & Hoteliers Association.

Hotel companies including Marriott International and Wyndham Hotel Group are working with a nonprofit organization to extend job opportunities to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, writes Hotel News Now’s Danielle Hess.

Approximately 85% of people in the U.S. who have intellectual and developmental disabilities are unemployed, said Jonathan Lucus, managing director of The Arc@Work, a company that recently started its first partnership within the hotel industry with Wyndham Hotel Group’s Baymont Inn & Suites brand.

“Our goal is to focus on supporting employer needs, so we connect with employers who have openings they’re trying to fill, who need training on the disability hiring space,” he said. “We’re fortunate to have over 650 chapters around the United States that can support local hiring initiatives based on what hotels, or whatever industry we’re working with, need to fill jobs.”

President Donald Trump’s son, Eric Trump, has expressed that keeping up with the family’s business—which added 15 golf courses and 13 hotels before the presidential election—won’t be easy, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

Eric Trump, who with his brother Donald Trump Jr. took over running the Trump Organization following the inauguration, said company revenue is expected to continue rising, but likely at a slower rate because of efforts to separate the Trump presidency from the family businesses. However, he said, he isn’t concerned with slowing growth, because with a private company “he doesn’t face pressure to boost a share price.”

Dubai investor Hussain Sajwani, according to The Journal, confirmed earlier this year the Trump Organization had “backed away from a licensing deal involving $2 billion in property Sajwani was developing. The Trump Organization has said it also has cancelled real-estate licensing agreements in Brail, Azerbaijan and Georgia.”

The average nightly cost to house homeless people at hotels in New York City has increased about 600% from November 2015 to this February, according to an analysis from New York City Comptroller, reported by Gothamist.com.

Jaclyn Rothenberg, a spokeswoman for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, said the current average nightly cost per commercial hotel room is $175. The city installed a new policy “prohibiting room rentals in excess of $400 per night,” the report states. And “we recently put into place a plant to further reduce costs to improve services,” Rothenberg said.

“Hotel rooms are not only a Band-aid solution to a complex problem, but they’re also very expensive,” Comptroller Scott Stringer said in a statement. “If families are going to get back on their feet, we need to help get them the services they need.”
