Bookings At Major Trump Hotels In US Down Almost 60%
Bookings At Major Trump Hotels In US Down Almost 60%
according to travel site Hipmunk, bookings for Trump-branded hotels in New York, Las Vegas, and Chicago continue to plummet, down more than 58 percent during the first half of 2016 as compared to the first half of 2015.
"While the Trump name is a powerful brand name, it may also carry some negative connotation with travelers from around the world," noted Keven Murphy, chair of the Hospitality Services Department, at Rosen College of Hospitality Management in Orlando.
Perhaps that's why Trump's newest hotel line, announced last month, won't bear his name at all: The Trump Organization has dropped the name completely, going for Scion, which means "descendant of a notable family," the company's news release explained.

Wow !!! Trump won't put his name on new hotels. Even he knows his brand is over. Say goodnight Donnie. https://twitter.com/stinasternberg/status/788529872612319233 …

The name is "a nod to the Trump family and to the tremendous success it has had with its businesses," said Trump Hotels Chief Executive Officer Eric Danziger, in a statement.
Make sense, says Murphy of Rosen College: "With the advent of the shared economy and the rise of the purchasing power of the Millennial generation, hotel strategies have changed and this may be the reason for the new Scion name."

Couldn't happen to a more deserving fellow.
In a few weeks, there won't be a woman on earth who will be conflicted or confused about how to deal with Donald Trump's unwanted hands up their skirts either. Those days are over.
Too bad the Clintons' victims still have no justice...
how to deal with Donald Trump's unwanted hands up their skirts
So this is ONLY about Trump , not about sexual assault in general ?
I'm not surprised by this news. It was easy to predict that his brand would take a hit.
Wall of Taco trucks around Trump hotel in LV yesterday.
Are taco trucks the poster child for illegal aliens?
Why would you jump to that conclusion? Since they are business owners, pay taxes and are voicing their 1st amendment rights, I would think that you would be proud of them..
Apparently not.
What is their message? Eat tacos? Trump likes toco bowls?
To bad you can't comprehend their message, snowflakes have a hard time understanding anything but other snowflakes.
Trump has safe spaces in his hotel for snowflakes.
snowflakes have a hard time understanding anything but other snowflakes.
I agree but I don't usually consider you as a snowflake . However , if you'd like to be thought of that way , I'm sure you can find a way to demonstrate it .
I'm happy that you don't think of me as a snowflake petey.
Thanks for the confirmation.
I've said nothing about many of your "compadres" though ...
Why would you petey? Since you really have no idea who my aen naamii are.
OK , let's keep it that way ...
