Riding on the coattails of the successful 2013 US Hotel Market Connections, HVS will present global Hotel Market Connections. This series of hotel intelligence seminars, held in 10 cities around the world, will deliver critical insights from a panel of local experts on issues facing the hospitality industry in that specific market, with a common theme throughout all the sessions to include the topic of supply in that local market. Other potential discussion items may include: trends in hotel lending and valuation; up-to-the-moment snapshots of hotel values, transactions, cap rates, and operating trends in each location; and a forecast of global hotel values through 2017 and beyond.
