Airlines lock in fuel prices ahead of time to protect against price increases. Cattle lots lock in the price of grain in advance, and even Kellogg’s can buy corn in advance for your Corn Flakes. If there was a way for investors, customers, or individuals to purchase certain assets like these early, it could become quite an effective inflation hedge.
An inflation hedge is an investment designed to safeguard against the erosion of a currency’s purchasing power caused by escalating prices, either on a macroeconomic scale or due to inflation. Typically, it entails investing in an asset anticipated to preserve or enhance its value within a specified timeframe.
Investing in hotel rooms is a perfect inflation-hedging strategy.
Imagine locking in a room price that you don’t need for a year. For example, if you pay $1000 today and room inflation continues at 15%, then you would expect that same room to cost $1150 by next year. Why not buy the room now, lock in the price and save? By doing so, you are effectively hedging inflation and profiting like the big players.
