The whole industry is no bueno, I'm sorry to say. I read a report somewhere (maybe WSJ) the other day talking about the glut of high-end hotel rooms now filling the market and all these crazy promotions and spiffs hoteliers are offering.

Have you considered working for a tradeshow/exhibition company? Similar industry, to a point, and perhaps a bit more stable. Something like www.freemanco.com might be worthwhile for you to look into. Their office in NJ is looking for an AE (sales).
