Tax Policies: Securing Certainty and Growth

The hotel industry has been vocal about the need to preserve key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which are set to expire soon. These provisions have provided financial stability and encouraged investment in the sector.

Small Business Deduction: Over half of the nearly 64,000 hotels in the U.S. qualify as small businesses. Extending the 20% tax deduction on business income could help smaller operators remain competitive.
Bonus Depreciation: The ability to write off 100% of commercial asset costs in the year they’re acquired is critical for hotel renovations and upgrades. With this provision phasing out, many hoteliers fear increased financial strain.
Like-Kind Exchange Preservation: This century-old tax code allows real estate owners to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting proceeds from property sales. Without it, hotel owners may find it harder to sell or upgrade properties.

According to industry representatives, the expiration of these provisions could lead to a 33% tax increase for hotel businesses. Marriott and Hilton have previously credited the tax reforms for providing significant financial benefits and enabling greater investment in their properties.

Worker Visas: Addressing Labor Shortages
The hotel industry has long relied on temporary worker visa programs like H-2B visas to fill seasonal labor shortages, especially in remote resort areas. However, Trump’s historically strict immigration policies have raised concerns.

Hoteliers are advocating for reforms to expand access to H-2B visas and to exclude returning workers from annual visa caps.
Specialized roles, such as event planners, IT professionals, and chefs, also benefit from H-1B visas, which have become a contentious topic in policy debates.

Access to a reliable labor pool is critical for maintaining service standards, particularly as the hospitality sector continues to recover from pandemic-related disruptions.

Wider Economic Implications
Beyond taxes and labor, other Trump-era policies could indirectly impact hotels:

Tariff Adjustments: Changes to tariffs on imported goods could influence the cost of construction materials, affecting hotel development and renovations.
Energy Policies: Fluctuating fuel prices may impact travel demand, especially in drive-to markets.

Industry observers agree that stability and clarity in economic policy will be key for hotels to plan and expand confidently.

What’s at Stake for Hoteliers?

Tax reforms, visa access, and broader economic policies could define the next chapter for the hospitality industry. By extending favorable tax provisions, expanding visa programs, and ensuring economic stability, policymakers have an opportunity to support the sector’s growth.
