Tariff Impact on Procurement and Operations
Recent United States tariff developments have added cost and operational complexity for boutique hotels, particularly affecting the procurement of furniture, fixtures, equipment, and building materials. These measures have extended lead times for custom and imported items, prompting owners to seek locally sourced or modular alternatives and to adjust renovation and development timelines.
