Senior students in Dr. O’Halloran’s hospitality financial management class recently earned their Certification in Hotel Industry Analytics.

Hotel analytics has become an increasingly important skill for such professionals as revenue managers, general managers, corporate staff and research professionals. The Certification in Hotel Industry Analytics (CHIA) is the only hotel-related certification that recognizes the skill and knowledge that these professionals have and is offered in partnership with STR, the global source for benchmarking and forecasting data.

This globally-recognized professional credential validates the advanced knowledge these students have in hotel industry analytics including foundational metrics, definitions, formulas and methodologies.
