Comments
Salaries in the region have been "flat" over the last three years due to higher operating costs, poorer than expected occupancies and higher employee benefit costs. Independent hotels are more flexible and willing to negotiate. Larger companies tend to be able to transfer or promote internally, so they have not had to increase salaries.
