The real secret is in the numbers! The Prosperous Hotelier shows you not just how to get comfortable with the numbers, but how to dance with them. There’s a common belief in the hospitality industry that the financials are best left to professionals who can sort out the complex interplay between the different departments of a hotel. This idea is just a myth—one you can bust wide open with this book. Having confidence and knowledge around the financials is the key to a successful hotel career and—to a very large extent—your own personal prosperity.

The Prosperous Hotelier is about the business of hotels. It's written for two groups; non-financial people who want to become leaders with business mojo financial leaders and managers who want to bring everyone in their hotel into the loop When everyone’s on board, everything runs more smoothly and we’re all part of something bigger and better—together.

There is a general misconception that understanding the financials of a hotel is best left to professionals with formal education in accounting, as these financials are perceived to be too complex and challenging for those without such a background. However, David Lund’s new book The Prosperous Hotelier debunks this myth and will help you demystify the financials of the hotel industry. Whether you’re a seasoned hotelier or just in the early stages of your hospitality career, this book will provide valuable insights and inspiration. I highly endorse this book and give it my highest recommendation.
