The rise and rise of alternatives to traditional hotel accommodation is changing the investment landscape for what had been a specialised and exclusive real estate segment. Hotel Analyst, the definitive source of information for hotel investors for more than a decade, has established a key event to highlight the issues.
New accommodation types – such as capsule hotels, hostels and serviced apartments – are emerging as direct threats to hotels. Other traditionally separate asset classes such as student accommodation, timeshare and the private rented sector are entering the short-term letting space as well.
The new threats are being facilitated by the sharing economy as websites like Airbnb and Housetrip enable emerging accommodation providers to cost-effectively market to a wide audience of potential guests.
