Indonesia is the most hopeful lodging market in the world, according to a new study, encouraging news for the resort for sale Indonesia.
India and Indonesia, along with Thailand, were also found to be the markets more than likely to develop new jobs in the lodging sector in the second half of 2012. Thirty-nine percent of Indian hoteliers said they were planning to add even more staff before the end of the year, ahead of Thailand (31 %) and Indonesia (30 %). Globally, only 15 % of hoteliers said they planned to add new staff, while the majority 64 % said they would aim to keep their headcounts unchanged. Hoteliers in New Zealand (9 %) and Australia (8 %) were among those unlikely to add extra staff.

This desire (or unwillingness) to invest was underscored by hoteliers' confidence in the economy. In Indonesia 72 % of respondents said they believed that the economy would improve in the second half of 2012-- the highest in Asia, ahead of India (64 %) and Malaysia (62 %). Japan (35 %) and Australia (34 %) were the region's least confident markets.

Globally, the positivity outlook was led by the world's essential economies emerging, with Indonesia ahead of Brazil, Russia, the US and India. Interestingly however, only 38 % of Chinese hoteliers shared confidence that the country's economy would improve. Spain, Italy and Greece were the least hopeful countries.

"The TripAdvisor Sector Index underscores the current economic climate, as hoteliers in North America, Asia Pacific and Latin America are all around twice as likely to report being profitable in the last six months than hoteliers in the EMEA region," claimed Christine Petersen, President of TripAdvisor for Business.

This level of confidence is also translating into room rates, with greater discounts to be found in countries with poor economic potential customers. In Greece for example, 58 % of hoteliers said they expect ordinary rates to fall in the second half of the year, ahead of Spain (43 %), Italy (37 %), Australia (32 %) and New Zealand (29 %). Guests can expect to pay even more however, in the US, where 47 % of hoteliers expect rates to increase, ahead of Brazil (42 %), Russia (42 %), Indonesia (37 %) and Turkey (35 %).
