Gaylord’s Profits Plummet

|

The Star-Telegram has a story today about the Gaylord Texan’s parent company, Gaylord Entertainment, reporting a second quarter revenue increase of 36 percent over last year–but a net income drop of 91 percent. The company reported a net income of $106.8 million in Q2 ’07; for Q2 ’08, they’re looking at a net income of $8.78 million. That’s right, eight. They blame it on decreased attendance at conventions. Does this bode well for the convention center hotel business?
