  • HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide Excerpt 2017
    2017 EDITION | Price US$800 EXCERPT THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2016) Pawinee Chaisiriroj Senior Analyst Daniel J Voellm Managing Partner HVS.com HVS | Level 21, The Centre, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong The HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide 2017 Foreword It is with great pleasure that I share with you our fourth annual Asia-Pacific Operator Guide, data as of 31 December 2016. This fourth edition will continue to serve owners as a reference for which operator has a strong presence in their home market and in potential future markets further ashore as well as key feeder markets across the region. As more brands are created and/or introduced to the region, owners need to navigate a more complex environment. At the same time, M&A activities have created larger companies with a very large portfolio of brands. At the same time, we see operators building pipelines with limited-service brands that are easier to scale. Which operator to choose? Branding, anchored by the management expertise and distribution power that operators bring to a hotel property, is becoming more and more critical. In the face of increasing competition, non-branded properties often perform at a discount to their branded peers due to lack of awareness and quality assurance. Running a hotel is no easy task and owners have a tendency to view operators’ fees as unjustified for the value they deliver. It is essential that owner and operator align their interest from very early in the process and work towards a common goal, rather than start their long-term relationship from conflicting standpoints.

  • Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa 2020 Report
    2020 Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa Front Page: Taj Cape Town Somerset Kilimani Nairobi 2 Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa 2020 Foreword Our 12th edition of the Hotel Chain Development Pipelines in Africa brings news of a continuing increase in the chains’ development activity in Africa. The pipeline now sits at 77,896 rooms in 408 hotels, up 3.6 per cent on 2019. Looking back to our first report on Africa’s hotel development pipeline in 2009, there were then just under 30,000 rooms, so today we’re not far off three times that! The growth of the chains’ presence and pipeline in Africa has been an incredibly positive story, and we are proud to be deeply involved with it – in addition to the research work carried out for this report, we have provided professional advice to several of the projects that are included in the data. However, I am writing this foreword (and you are probably reading it) at a time of unprecedented global upheaval, a complete reset. Our industry – and I mean travel and tourism in the widest sense – has been particularly badly affected by the COVID-19 disease. We in the hotel industry have been completely reset, to what we just don’t know yet, but to a state smaller in terms both of supply and demand than we were just a few months ago, that’s for certain. There’s a new game coming when this is all over, and no one yet has any idea what we will be playing with, nor what the rules will be.
