The hotel sector is growing at a tremendous rate, as investor interest continues to fuel the international expansion of the hospitality industry. Location, size, market, real estate, cost of capital, yield and timing are the new considerations, and if chains are to compete, they need a new breed of skilled analysts to identify the best investment opportunities.
This ‘new’ hotel industry presents a wealth of opportunities for analytically minded individuals to enjoy a highly successful and international career. At the end of 2017, Lodging Econometrics reported that there were 12,228 ongoing hotel build projects around the world, up six percent on the year and creating over 2 million new rooms.
