Hotel Groups: Ebitda 2020 Ranking
PRESS RELEASE COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Watch the video of the press release: https://youtu.be/RkV-yY-v5AA Paris, April 27 2020 HOTEL GROUPS: EBITDA 2020 RANKING The rise of Asian groups is a groundswell, driven by the boom in the number of hotels in the APAC region, which by 2019 will have become the world’s largest in terms of supply. Growth came from China It all started in China. No less than 5 of the world’s top 15 hotel groups are now based in the Middle Kingdom. With one exception, all those with double-digit room growth in the top 20 are Chinese. This 2020 edition of the world ranking is above all marked by a real revolution coming from India: OYO, a group founded in 2013 that only entered the top 10 last year. The Thai Minor Hotel Group entered the world’s Top 20 in 2020. The American groups remain on the offensive and the Europeans on a growth dynamic.

To what extent does this translate, or not, into economic and financial power? Because if size matters today, EBITDA and valuation also. What is the basis of a hotel group’s power? Several variables come into play. At a time when many operators are «asset-light» and are developing mainly in franchising or management, the volume of the hotel portfolio under the brand name naturally remains a key dimension, as it is a source of long-term value creation.

Resumo Esta dissertação visa identificar os determinantes da internacionalização das empresas hoteleiras em Cabo Verde, nomeadamente as de origem portuguesa. Considerando o ritmo de crescimento registado na indústria hoteleira em Cabo Verde e a crescente presença de investimento externo na actividade turística em algumas ilhas, procurou-se neste estudo verificar as principais motivações que estariam na base da decisão da realização desses investimentos. O crescimento das empresas hoteleiras na economia de Cabo Verde tem evoluído paulatinamente, incremento para o qual em muito terão contribuído os estímulos concedidos pelo governo ao investimento no sector, com destaque para os benefícios fiscais, como é o caso da lei de utilidade turística. Verifica-se que a necessidade de um contacto mais próximo com os clientes e a procura de novos mercados constituem as principais motivações para a internacionalização das empresas de serviços e, consequentemente, para os estabelecimentos hoteleiros portugueses que se estabeleceram em Cabo Verde. Destacam-se ainda outros factores que consubstanciaram o incremento dos investimentos das empresas hoteleiras portuguesas neste país, tais como a influência exercida por processos de privatização que tentam tirar partido das inúmeras oportunidades de negócios daí resultantes, bem como o comportamento empreendedor dos gestores, a “morabeza” do povo de Cabo Verde e o potencial de crescimento da actividade turística neste país Palavras-chave: Internacionalização; Empresas de Serviços; Hotelaria; Cabo Verde Abstract This research aims to identify the determinants of the internationalization of companies of the hotel sector in Cape Verde, particularly those from Portugal. Considering the pace of growth registered in the hotel industry in Cape Verde, as well as the growing presence of foreign investment in the tourism activity in some islands, the study attempts to identify the main motivations that are responsible for those investments decisions.
