Washington DC
This is just one of the 110 markets that we cover in our MarketCompass Lodging Reports, the most comprehensive overview in the industry.
The MarketCompass Lodging Report Washington-Arlington-Alexandria is a critical region in the U.S. economy, driven largely by federal government activities.
The region benefits from having one of the most educated workforces in the country, with high-income levels that support a stable consumer market. Federal employment provides job security and substantial wages, which in turn bolster demand for hospitality services from both government employees and contractors. However, the region's dependence on government jobs limits growth potential in the private sector, especially in tourism-related industries.
