    Quarterly Newsletter – Q2 2014

    30 Warwick Street London W1B 5NH www.jll.com/hospitality EMEA Quarterly Newsletter – Q2 2014 Industry Trends • According to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), demand for international tourism remained strong in the first four months of 2014. International tourism arrivals grew 5%, the same rate as full year 2013. Prospects for the current peak tourism season remain very positive with over 450 million tourists expected to travel abroad in the May-August 2014 period. • Destinations worldwide received 317 million international overnight visitors between January and April 2014, 14 million more than in the same period of 2013. This 5% growth consolidates the strong increase registered for 2013 and is well above the long-term trend projected by the UNWTO for the period of 2010-2020 (3.8%). • The strongest growth was seen in Asia and the Pacific and the Americas (both up 6%), followed closely by Europe and Africa (up 5%). By sub-region, Northern Europe, South and Mediterranean Europe, North Africa and South Asia (all up 8%) were the star performers. • In terms of tourism expenditure, growth continues to be strong from emerging markets, in particular China, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia and India. Furthermore, demand from advanced economies is strengthening as the global economic situation gradually improves, with encouraging growth posted for Italy, Australia, the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. • According to the UNWTO confidence index, prospects remain very positive for the period May- August 2014. Confidence has picked up, particularly among the private sector, and improved further in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific and the Middle East.

    HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide Excerpt 2016

    2016 EDITION | Price US$800 SUMMARY THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2015) Setthawat Hetrakul Assistant Manager 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 2016 Foreword It is with great pleasure that I share with you our third annual Asia-Pacific Operator Guide, data as of 31 December 2015. This third 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. With China rapidly becoming a strong outbound market, brands and operators that are well positioned there are better positioned to welcome Chinese travelers overseas. 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. In this third edition, we have captured close to one million existing and more than half a million pipeline rooms spread over 6,546 properties.
