| Epicurus Institute Analysis |
| Choice Hotels includes a number of to lower range brand names in lodging. While poised to capture the more frugal audience of business and personal travel, in difficult economic times, fewer people travel, reducing hotel occupancy rates across the board. Many of these brands were used by franchisees in an excessively exhuberant growth period in commercial real estate, leaving many in the mid to low range hotel brands with low occupancy and operating in poorly selected areas. Holding these shares is recommended for long-term portfolios. |
