Tourism, hospitality and leisure (THL) businesses should experience generally smooth sailing in 2008, as the strong growth driven by both business and leisure travelers in 2006 and 2007 is expected to continue generating healthy consumer spending on hotels and motels, transportation, meals and beverages, gaming and other travel-related purchases during the coming year. Several major issues that will influence THL industry activities include:

• Globalization
• Building brand value
• Talent management
• Changing demographics
• Technology
