New Rules & Opportunities for 2021
- Transaction Volume: With low volume since COVID-19, when will cash-trapped owners have to sell? What role will Governmental and bank support play?
- Impact on Pricing: Large amount of equity raised for hotels but less financing, will there be money available but more expansive?
- Operator / Owner Relationship: Crisis creates the opportunity for brands to recuperate independent hotels, is there appetite to provide more owner friendly contracts?
- Transaction type: Development vs rebranding/conversion of existing assets?
- Asset type: City hotels vs Resorts vs MICE
