Industry Performance
Executive Summary
The Global Hotels and Resorts industry is recovering from the recent economic downturn, which led to
decreased demand for all forms of travel accommodation. The industry is sensitive to a wide range of
economic, social, demographic and geopolitical factors that affect domestic overnight travel within any
country, as well as global international travel demand and patterns. With the onset of the global recession,
both consumers and businesses became more concerned about their finances and cut back on luxuries,
including travel. In 2009, as the global recession deepened and unemployment rose, a decline in the
domestic travel rate and a 3.8% fall in international tourism arrivals (according to the United Nations
World Tourism Organization) cut into demand for industry services. Since destination hotels and resorts
rely heavily on domestic and foreign tourists, the decline in these travel rates hurt the global industry's
bottom line. Nevertheless, international tourism arrivals have grown every year since 2010, leading to the
industry's revival. 2013 is expected to be the fourth year of consecutive growth in global tourist arrivals,
which are anticipated to rise 3.5%. The infusion of tourist dollars is expected to benefit hotels and resorts
and increase room rates, causing industry revenue to grow 0.5% in 2013. Over the five years to 2013,
industry revenue is expected to increase at an average annual rate of 0.2% to $592.6 billion.

Travel spending is projected to increase over the next five years as global economic conditions continue to
improve and consumer spending bolsters revenue for global hotels and resorts. International tourist
arrivals in emerging economy destinations of Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and
Africa will grow at double the pace of destinations in developed economies. The biggest growth will be seen
in Asia and the Pacific, helping emerging economies surpass developed economies as the favored
destination for tourists by 2015. In order to keep up with the aggressive rise in travel rates in these regions,
more hotels and resorts will be built, which should increase the proportion of industry revenue generated
from these regions and drive industry revenue growth as a whole. Over the five years to 2018, revenue is
projected to increase at an average annual rate of 2.2% to $661.5 billion.

Key External Drivers
The key sensitivities affecting the performance of the Global Hotels & Resorts industry include:

GDP of the BRIC nations
International tourist arrivals in emerging economies (including Brazil, Russia, India and China, otherwise
known as BRIC nations) will grow at double the pace of developed economy destinations in upcoming
years. The performance of economic conditions at these travel hot spots will help determine the number of
tourists they receive, the number of hotels and resorts built and, ultimately, the revenue growth of the
Global Hotels and Resorts industry. GDP growth of the BRIC nations is expected to increase in 2014 and is
a potential opportunity for the industry.

Global consumer sentiment index
Changes in consumer sentiment influence decisions that individuals make concerning expenditure on
entertainment and traveling, particularly during an economic recession. Consumer sentiment is expected
to increase over 2014; however, the index's ongoing volatility is a potential threat for the industry.

Global per capita income
Changes in per capita disposable income have a direct impact on travel demand and accommodation. As
disposable incomes increase in countries around the world, this growth will benefit the Global Hotels and
Resorts industry, as consumers will have more funds available for travel and accommodation. Global per
capita income is expected to increase in 2014.

Global tourist arrivals
Trends in international and domestic visitor nights and their length of stay influences demand for
accommodations. A rise in international and domestic trips positively affects demand for hotels and
resorts. The number of global tourist arrivals is expected to increase in 2014.
Current Performance
The Global Hotels and Resorts industry has rebounded from a recession-induced decline and experienced
positive growth in each of the past four years. The industry's flat annualized growth rate of 0.2% over the
five years to 2013 includes a steep decline of 7.5% in 2009 when demand for all forms of travel
accommodation waned. In 2009, as the recession deepened and unemployment rose, a 3.8% fall in
international tourism arrivals (according to the United Nation World Tourism Organization, or UNWTO)
drove demand for the industry down as consumers become concerned about their finances and cut back on
luxuries, including travel. Since destination hotels and resorts rely heavily on domestic and foreign
tourists, the decline in travel hurt the global industry's bottom line. Nevertheless, international tourism
recovered from 2010, growing 6.5% in that year alone and 2.9% per year on average over the five years to
2013. In 2013, the number of international arrivals is forecast to continue moving upwards, increasing
3.5%. The infusion of tourist dollars is expected to benefit hotels and resorts and increase room rates,
causing industry revenue to grow 0.5% in 2013 to $592.6 billion.

Impact of travel
As the economy fell deeper into recession and unemployment rose, consumers became more selective
about how they spent disposable income. In 2009, disposable income among OECD (Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development) countries declined 4.0% and recreational activities, including
vacations, were some of the first expenditures cut from consumers' budgets. Businesses also cut back on
nonessential travel and accommodations due to a decline in corporate profit. These trends began to reverse
from 2010 as the economy slowly improved and fears surrounding the state of the global economy
subsided. Consumers began taking trips that they delayed during the previous years, increasing demand
for hotels and resorts. A steady uptick in consumer confidence has been one of the main reasons for the
industry's improvement over the past four years.

Regional trends
The most notable industry trend over the past five years has been the performance of hotels in different
regions, thanks to the contrasting trajectories that travel has taken in emerging economies compared with
advanced economies. The number of international tourist arrivals to emerging economies, such as China,
India, Brazil and Mexico, has been growing at about double the pace of travel to advanced economies such
as the United States, Canada, Euro Area and Australia. According to the UNWTO, emerging economies had
46.8% of the share of international tourist share in 2012, up from just 31.9% in 1990. Asia and the Pacific
recorded the fastest growth across all regions over the past five years, closely followed by Africa and the
Americas, where international tourist arrivals grew at rates of above 5.0%. Tourism infrastructure in these
regions has improved markedly and countries are pumping up the industry through extensive marketing
campaigns. In comparison, tourism growth to traditional tourism hotspots, such as Canada, Western
Europe and Australia, has waned. As a result, most of the industry's largest players have been focusing
their development on emerging economies. For example, 85.0% of Starwood Hotels and Resorts
Worldwide Inc.'s current development pipeline is focused outside of North America, with 44.0% in China
alone.

Industry structure
Before mid-2008, industry operators achieved solid profit growth due to robust growth in hotel demand.
Profit levels then fell from mid-2008 to early-2010 as hotel demand declined, even though some variable
costs decreased. There are substantial fixed costs associated with operating a hotel, including maintenance
and minimum labor requirements to deliver services to guests. Hotels and resorts also reduced their rates
to keep occupancy rates from plummeting, which slashed profit margins. However, profit margins
increased from mid-2010 through 2013, as demand conditions improve.

Prevalent industry trends
Over the past few decades, technology has helped to increase productivity, decrease labor costs and
enhance customer service. In particular, the industry has benefited from the increased prevalence of the
internet through all aspects of society. Hotel operators use the internet to gather information, make
bookings and buy supplies, which has lowered overall costs. The information gathered by operators via
new technology also allows them to send better-targeted promotions by e-mail and social media. Many
firms now operate guest rewards programs to attract and hold frequent travelers. Websites like
Lastminute.com and Priceline.com, which offer advance bookings and significantly discounted room prices
at the last minute, have flourished since the early 2000s. Most operators now allocate a portion of their
expected unsold rooms to these websites, since travelers have become more confident in booking through
them. The websites are either corporate-owned and managed or linked to other specialist travel operators.

As a result in this increased productivity, industry employment growth has been relatively slow over the
past five years, increasing just 0.7% per year on average to 4.2 million. This relatively low growth also
reflects the cutting of surplus employees during the recession. In addition, industry operators have made
greater use of casual employees, rather than full-time staff, to meet peak customer demand periods.

Meanwhile, the number of industry establishments has grown at 1.3% per year on average over the past
five years to 645,000. The expansion of the industry's biggest players into emerging economies has been
the main reason behind this growth. Industry concentration has increased over the past five years as large,
global hotel operators have increased their stranglehold on market share through buyouts and mergers.
The top four operators in the industry, Hilton Worldwide, Marriott International, InterContinental Hotels
Group and Wyndham Worldwide, are estimated to account for 13.2% of available market share in 2013.

Industry Outlook
The Global Hotels and Resorts industry is expected to enjoy a more stable period over the next five years.
The global economy will continue to improve, laying a foundation for reduced volatility, which has affected
both revenue and profit over the past five years. Consumers will have more funds available for
discretionary purchases due to consistent growth in per capita disposable income, which is expected to
increase at an annualized 5.0% over the next five years. The industry's shift towards emerging economies
will continue, taking advantage of improved tourism infrastructure in those regions. Over the five years to
2018, IBISWorld forecasts industry revenue will increase at an average annual rate of 2.2% to $661.5
billion.

Tourism trends
The industry's main driver is tourism and travel spending is projected to increase over the next five years
as the global economy improves. The influx of tourist dollars will bolster revenue for global hotels and
resorts. According to the United Nation World Tourism Organization's (UNWTO) Tourism Towards 2030,
the number of international tourist arrivals worldwide is expected to increase by an average 3.3% a year
from 2010 to 2030. Over time, the rate of growth will gradually slow, from 3.8% in the decade to 2020, to
2.5% in 2030. International tourist arrivals will increase by some 43.0 million a year to reach 1.8 billion by
the year 2030.

International tourist arrivals in emerging economy destinations of Asia, Latin America, Central and
Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa are likely to grow at double the pace of developed economy
destinations over the next five years. The biggest growth will be seen in Asia and the Pacific, where arrivals
are forecast by UNWTO to increase by 4.9% per year on average to 2030. The Middle East and Africa are
also expected to more than double their arrivals in this period. As a result, international hotel chains are
going to experience the majority of their revenue and profit growth from emerging economies. Emerging
economies are expected to surpass developed economies as the industry's number one source of revenue by
2015. In 2030, 57.0% of international arrivals will be in emerging economy destinations and 43.0% in
developed economy destinations, according to the UNWTO. In order to keep up with the aggressive rise in
travel rates in these emerging regions, more hotels and resorts will be built, which should increase the
proportion of industry revenue that is generated from these regions and grow industry revenue as a whole.

The industry will also benefit as the global economy improves, unemployment rates decline and consumers
begin to spend money again, particularly on recreational activities like vacations and traveling. Disposable
income among OECD countries is expected to increase over the five years to 2018 by an impressive 5.0%
per year on average. Business spending is also forecast to increase, helping hotels and resorts increase their
number of corporate clients. However, Western Europe is expected to experience subdued growth because
it is a mature market and ongoing debt problems will continue to bog down several countries' recovery.
The United States will also be hampered by a slow recovery as it continues to address its own structural
economic changes.

Trends promoting growth
Over the next five years, investment in new hotel and motel rooms will gradually accelerate due to a
sustained rise in tourist accommodation demand. More solid economic growth from 2013 to 2018 will
likely mean investment will occur at a much faster pace to compensate for the dramatic decline in
investment that the industry experienced over the past few years. Hotel investment by major operators will
increasingly focus on opportunities in international travel markets and regions, including Russia, Eastern
Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia, China and India.

Global hotels and resorts will also continue to segment into areas such as extended-stay, boutique hotels,
resorts and spa and health retreats as guests search for more varied and hospitable accommodation
experiences. The low-cost segment will also continue to expand and experience competition on the basis of
price. This factor will place pressure on economy operators to hold or reduce costs. Overall, the number of
industry enterprises is expected to jump 1.6% per year on average to 594,000, at a slightly faster rate than
that of the past five years.

Improving employment and profitability
Industry profitability is expected to improve over the next five years as revenue improves and operators
focus on cost reductions through improved labor productivity. Cost reductions may result from more group
purchasing, marketing and sales arrangements, as well as the increasing use of internet information,
booking, reservation and payment systems. Industry wages are expected to increase 2.2% per year on
average to $167.2 billion.

Industry Life Cycle
This industry is in the mature stage of its life cycle.

Life Cycle Stage
Steady growth in the domestic tourism and business travel markets
More hotel and resort options allow the industry to better meet individual needs across markets
There has been strong growth in new emerging countries such as China and India

Despite the recent downturn in revenue, the Global Hotels and Resorts industry is in a mature phase. The
latest decline in revenue can be directly attributed to the global economic recession as well as the industry's
heavy dependence on tourism and disposable income levels. Over the ten years to 2018, industry value
added, which measures an industry's contribution to GDP, will grow at an annual rate of 2.6% per year,
compared to GDP growth over the same period of 5.4%. This is supported by the expected continuing
growth in the international tourism and travel market.

Tourism growth rates in North America and Europe are soft compared with emerging economies, meaning
global hotel operators have increased their focus on emerging economies. This shift has intensified over the
past five years as hotel chains chase revenue growth and higher profit margins in fast growing economies.
The Asia Pacific region, Middle East and South America are especially popular among global hotel chains.
For example, 85.0% of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc.'s current development pipeline is
focuses outside of North America, with 44.0% in China alone.

Industry growth over the next five years will be supported by increasing international and domestic airline
capacity and improvements in airline technology, including plane passenger capacity. Higher income in
emerging economies will also boost tourist levels. In addition, the lifting of travel restrictions by
governments around the world will assist in boosting tourist numbers, further benefiting hotels and
resorts. Industry growth will be linked to the increasing propensity to travel for business as globalization
continues to develop rapidly.

Industry productivity is being assisted by increased utilization of technology by hotel operators. Direct
bookings on the websites of major operators is increasing rapidly, with major hotel chains reporting that a
consistently growing portion of their reservations are coming from the internet. Web-based bookings in all
forms are expected to continue to expand rapidly.

Hotels

A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging, and usually meals and other services, for travelers and
other paying guests. A hotel can be segmented according to whether it provides full or only limited service,
its location (metropolitan or elsewhere), state or region of location, price or rate level, establishment size
by number of rooms, and whether it is independent or part of a chain operation. Properties are also
classified according to a number of these criteria.

The most frequent product segmentation tends to be by room rate levels, with the establishments with the
highest 30.0% of room rates in a local or metropolitan market being classified as upscale or luxury, the
middle 30.0% being classified as mid-price and the lowest 40.0% as either economy or budget. The
budget/economy segment, therefore, tends to be the largest segment in the industry, but does not account
for the largest proportion of industry revenue.

It is estimated that the industry's hotel segments account for 84.0% of industry revenue. This is divided
into low-end (under $50 per night) which makes up 21.0% of industry revenue, medium-end ($50 to $100
per night) which makes up 39.0% of industry revenue, and high-end (over $100 per night) which makes up
24.0% of industry revenue.

Extended stay

Since the mid-1990s, the extended stay hotel component (which offers apartments with separate kitchen,
living room, bathroom and bedrooms for longer staying guests) has been a fast-growing sub-segment of
the industry, due to demand from family and business travelers, as they seek more home-like and spacious
accommodation, especially for extended stays.

Resorts

The integrated resort segment accounts for about 16.0% of total industry revenue. A resort hotel is usually
reserved for rest, relaxation and recreation purposes only, and used mainly by guests on vacation or when
attending a conference or seminar. The resort tends to be large and self-contained, with guests provided
with easy access in the same facility to food, beverages, accommodation, sports, entertainment and
shopping. It may also include whole islands, towns or regions, such as Aspen, Colorado, in the United
States or the Swiss Alps. Trends in recent resort-style development have tended to be around health spa
and eco-tourism accommodation, as some travelers become more health aware and environmentally
conscious.

Demand Determinants

Demand for the Hotels and Resorts industry is derived from both domestic and international visitors.

Domestic tourism
The majority of guests at hotels and resorts relate to domestic residents, taking business or
vacation/pleasure trips, or visiting friends and relatives. Domestic demand for hotel/resort
accommodation is, therefore, dependent on factors that affect travel, such as changes in household
disposable income, which is influenced by changes in labor market growth as well as movements in local
interest and tax rates. Changes in disposable income affect both the number of trips and expenditure by
households while away, which in turn affects the growth and economic impact of this industry.

Leisure time availability can affect tourism numbers. This includes the availability of leisure time and the
recent reducing propensity of people in the labor market to use their vacation leave, due to work and family
commitments. The relative cost of taking a holiday relates to the availability of cheap airfares and holiday
packages, and the increasing supply of airline seats. Tourism promotions by private operators and federal
and state governments, through travel and vacation shows, TV programs, and special sporting and other
major events may also stimulate travel.

Business travel
Business travel, including for attendance at seminars and conferences, is also significant. However, this
travel is more influenced by changes in economic growth, business sentiment and profitability. Also,
economic conditions directly affect the number of business trips, the length of stay and budgeted travel
amounts. Trip substitutability also influences business travel. Increasingly, some business travel can be
substituted by communications and IT technology, including teleconferencing and conference calls.

International tourism
International tourism is one of the most highly competitive industries globally, with a multitude of
countries and major cities seeking their fair share of this activity. International tourism is affected by
global economic conditions, especially changes in economic growth, and particularly in major visitor origin
countries/regions. Movements in relative exchange rates between countries also have an impact on the
cost of travel, as well as the relative attractiveness of traveling to competing destinations.

Wars, increasing geopolitical tensions or heightened fears of or actual terrorism activities affect
international travel plans. Also, fears associated with the spread of SARS, avian flu, or swine flu influences
travel demand and patterns.

Major Markets

Domestic - leisure and other 59.2%

Domestic - business 24.1%

International - leisure and other 10.8%

International - business 5.9%

Domestic

Domestic residents represent about 83.0% of revenue at hotels and resorts. This includes guests traveling
for any purpose, such as vacation and pleasure, sightseeing, special events, business, conventions and
seminar, or visiting friends and relatives. This proportion, however, varies according to the star-rating and
facilities of the establishment, with those with low star ratings possibly having a higher proportion of
domestic visitors. This depends on the relative cost of hotel rates in the immediate vicinity and its location.

The vacation and pleasure market represents the largest single segment (59.2% of industry revenue),
followed by business travelers and those attending conferences and seminars (24.1% of industry revenue).

International

International travelers represent the remaining 17.0% of revenue and can include people traveling for
business (5.9%) or vacation and pleasure, or visiting friends and relatives (10.8%). Generally, the higher
the star rating of a hotel, the greater the share of business travelers, although this is dependent on the
location of the establishment. More recently some travelers have been searching for self-contained and
serviced apartment hotels that provide more space, facilities (including self-catering facilities) and a more
home-like environment, compared with traditional hotel rooms. This tends to be particularly true for
families and extended-stay business travelers.

Domestic and international traveler numbers are also dependent upon where the hotel and resort is
located, whether in a major tourist destination or within the central part of a large metropolitan city.

International Trade

Exports in this industry are low and steady.
Imports in this industry are low and steady.
As a service-based industry, the Global Hotels and Resorts industry is not technically engaged in importing
or exporting products, so international trade is not relevant to the industry. However, many hotels and
resorts derive a significant proportion of their revenue from international guests.

However, a number of industry players have operations abroad and earn a portion of their revenue
overseas. Some hotel operators, such as Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and Starwood Hotels and
Resorts, earn well over 50.0% of their annual revenue from hotels located overseas. Many large operators
have established franchised operations internationally. Given the mature stage of this industry's life cycle
in developed economies such as the US, Canada and United Kingdom, many major operators are seeking to
increase their growth in revenue and earnings through further global expansion.

The industry is generally spread according to its global share of domestic and international tourism
generated activity. An estimated 39.1% of global travel and tourism economic activity occurs in Europe and
an estimated 37.8% of the Global Hotels and Resorts industry's revenue is generated in the same region.
The results are similar for North America, with respective percentages of 30.9% and 29.4%, and North
Asia, with 16.4% and 17.2%.

Within these regions, significant differences in share of hotels and international tourism by sub-region
occur, which IBISWorld expects provides a good indicator of share of the industry. Within the European
region, the EU member states with the highest share of nights spent by all travelers in hotel or similar
accommodation include Spain, Italy, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

Over time, these proportions are expected to change slightly, particularly with Western Europe being a
mature tourism market. The new and emerging higher tourism growth regions and countries are Central
and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, China, India, South America and the Asia-Pacific.

Competitive Landscape
Market Share Concentration
Industry concentration is low.
IBISWorld estimates that in 2013, the industry's top four players will account for about 13.2% of the
available market share, giving this industry a low level of concentration. Although industry concentration is
low, it is increasing due to continuing hotel buyouts and mergers, and operators joining franchise and
chain operators. Major companies in the hotel segment are increasingly seeking to operate on a global
basis and have a presence in major regions and countries and in the major towns and cities in these areas.
The merging of smaller operators with the major hotel companies on an international basis is expected to
continue in the next five years. Industry concentration is continuing to increase among the major global
operators, although this is more on a franchised or managed property basis.

Key Success Factors
The key success factors in the Global Hotels & Resorts industry are:

Access to multiskilled and flexible workforce
Access to multi-skilled and well trained staff is vital to ensure high levels of guest service and satisfaction.

Being part of a franchising chain
It is important for companies in the industry to closely evaluate the benefits of being part of a chain or
franchised group, particularly in areas such as marketing and promotion.

Receiving the benefit of word-of-mouth recommendations
Good word-of-mouth recommendations are often the most successful promotional tool in the Hospitality
industry.

Proximity to key markets
It is important for companies in the industry to be located close to other businesses that offer services and
products for those in the same market.

Ability to quickly adopt new technology
Operators need to be aware of the new technology available in this industry for information, promotions,
bookings and reservations and general management control systems.

Ability to control stock on hand
It is imperative for operators to understand the various room availability and tariff mechanisms used in
this industry.

Profit

Industry profit is measured as earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Profit will vary between players
depending upon the size of the hotel, hotel network, or parent company, with larger operators generally
benefiting from economies of scale. Prior to the recession the industry experienced a significant increase in
profit, as both domestic and international travel demand increased significantly on a global basis and as
pricing levels improved. However, the global financial crisis from mid-2008 to late-2009 led to a
significant reversal of this trend as revenue declined rapidly in 2009, assisted by both reduced room
demand and deep discounting of room rates. The revival in tourism from 2010 saw profit growth return.
IBISWorld estimates that industry profit will account for 10.8% of total industry revenue in 2013, up from
an estimated 7.1% in 2008, and similar to pre-2008 levels.

Purchases

Purchases are a major industry cost and include items such as bedding and other room supplies, as well as
food and beverages. Most hotels provide room service and restaurant dining and will have higher
purchases costs. Fluctuations in the cost of food and liquor can influence industry revenue and profit. In
the short term, many of these cost increases cannot be passed on to the consumer. Therefore, menus,
portion sizes and other inputs into food service have to be continually monitored. In 2013, purchases are
estimated to account for 32.3% of an average firm's revenue.

Labor

Labor is required in all areas of hotel operation, from front-of-house activities, such as front desk,
concierge and related activities, to all back-of-house activities, including general management, accounting,
marketing, room cleaning and servicing, and in kitchens, bars and restaurants. Many hotel jobs have a low
skill and training requirement and can be undertaken on a part-time or casual basis. However, because of
this, many hotels have high staff turnover. Therefore there is a constant need for recruitment and training,
which can be costly. Many operators have outsourced part of their staff services to specialist staff
recruitment agencies to lower recruitment costs. In 2013, IBISWorld estimates that total industry wages
will account for 25.3% of total industry revenue, up from 24.0% in 2008 due to greater demand for
medium- and high-end hotel and resort services.

Depreciation

The level of depreciation a hotel operator is exposed to depends heavily on if they own the freehold to the
premises. A greater percentage of hotel operators are choosing to rent rather than own the actual hotel
property they manage, preferring to outsource the property-risk to investors. The industry's average level
of depreciation has, therefore, grown over the five years to 2013 to represent an estimated 4.8% of total
industry revenue. Other hotel investments that contribute to the high depreciation level include fixtures
and fittings for rooms, restaurant equipment and capital improvement expenditure.

Other

Marketing costs and royalty fees are another significant cost for those industry participants that operate on
a franchise basis. Franchisees typically pay an annual fee of 4.0% to 6.0% of total revenue. The industry
average is significantly lower as less than half the industry's hotels are franchised.

Rent and utilities both account for between 3.0% and 5.0% of revenue. However, this varies considerably
across the industry due to the different ownership structures. Operators are also subject to a range of other
costs associated with the normal course of doing business such as repairs and maintenance fees,
professional and business fees such as those paid to lawyers, accountants and consultants and insurance
and administrative overheads.

Basis of Competition
Competition is high and increasing.
Operators in this industry experience competition with other industry players (internal competition) and
operators from other industries (external competition). The level of competition in this industry is
currently high and increasing.

Internal competition
Internal industry competition is high and increasing, and quite often price or rate-based, as there are a
large number of small operators and several very large international companies. At most price points,
hotels look to attract travelers by offering competitive prices with a range and quality of service to
maximize client satisfaction, while minimizing room vacancy rates. Room discounting increases during
difficult economic periods, with fewer discounts offered in boom times.

Other factors affecting competition include the location, being in an area which has a high level activity
from both tourists and business travelers enhances demand, as well as the star-rating of the hotel/resort,
and having both the required quality of facilities and service standards. The actual quality and level of
service and hospitality provided by management and staff of the hotel or resort is also important, especially
if it matches the expectations and demands of guests in all areas of operation.

For some travelers, hotel branding and image associated with an establishment or franchised hotel name is
important as a guarantee of facilities and service. The extent of information available on the establishment
on company websites is also significant, as well as the increasing ability for guests to make a direct booking
and payment over the internet.

External competition
The industry also faces competition from other segments of the wider accommodation market, including
motels, bed and breakfast establishments, and hostels. As the tourism market segments further, resulting
in new and emerging needs for travelers, external industry competition will increase.
Barriers to Entry
Barriers to entry are medium and increasing.

New firms are required to compete against well-established hotels and resorts that have strong branding,
loyal customers and frequent-guest memberships.

Economies of scale relate to ways that hotel chains can reduce marginal costs through the development
and ownership of a greater number of hotels. There are a several major firms in this industry that operate
on a global level and that are able to minimize marginal costs for management, advertising and brand-
building to increase market share. This provides financial advantages for large existing firms, making it
more difficult for new firms to enter the industry and establish a major presence.

The capital investment required to build a new hotel is high and increasing due to rising construction and
wage costs, as well as fewer locations to establish a new hotel or resort. However, capital requirements to
enter some segments of this industry have declined over the past decade through franchise opportunities,
as well as lease or management agreements with hotel owners. There has long been an increasing
separation and specialization in responsibilities with regards to actual hotel builders, owners, investors,
operators or managers, and franchises in this industry, with usually no direct relationship, apart from
contract requirements, between individuals or companies in these activities.

Licenses are required for areas such as gaming and liquor, which also provide entry barriers to this
industry due to government and licensing requirements. Overall, the above analysis indicates that barriers
to entry are both medium and increasing, and likely to continue to do so over the five years through 2018.

Industry Globalization
The level of globalization is low and increasing.
The majority of operators in this industry are regarded as having a low globalization level, due to many
hotels being locally-owned and earning most of their sales from domestic activities. However, globalization
within the hotel segment is increasing rapidly, due to the presence of major international hotel owners and
managers that operate on a global scale, such as Marriott, Hilton, Accor and InterContinental hotels.

This industry is expected to be subject to an increasing globalization level in upcoming years. This is the
result of hotels seeking an international market presence for its travelers, the increased globalization of
many major companies and business clients around the world, from the increasing of world-wide
marketing and branding of hotels and resorts, as well as online booking and reservation systems.

Hilton Worldwide
Industry Brand Names:Hilton, Hilton Gardens Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton, Homewood
Suites, Home2 Suites, Conrad
Market Share: 4.1%
Hilton Worldwide (formerly, Hilton Hotels Corporation) is a McLean, VA-based lodging company that
owns, manages or franchises about 4,000 hotels with about 672,000 rooms worldwide. Hilton's operations
include 3,587 hotels in the Americas region, 244 in Europe, 57 in the Middle East and Africa and 95 in the
Asia Pacific. Hilton was purchased by private equity firm Blackstone Group in 2007. Hilton became a
public company for the second time in 2013 following an IPO in December 2013 to raise $2.4 billion, most
of which is being used to pay down debt. As of 2013, Hilton Worldwide employs nearly 130,000 staff
worldwide.

Hilton operates under the brands Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton,
Homewood Suites by Hilton and Conrad. It also has a timeshare operation that trades under the name
Hilton Grand Vacations. The majority of Hilton hotels are operated under franchise agreements by
independent operators and companies, with only the company's flagship properties being corporately
managed. This business model has allowed Hilton to expand rapidly over the past few decades to become
one of the largest hotel groups in the world. According to a number of industry sources, Hilton currently
commands a RevPAR premium over its closest rivals of between 5.0% and 10.0%.

Financial performance

Based on Hilton's reported RevPAR and number of rooms, IBISWorld estimates that the company's global
network sales will grow an average 4.4% per year to $24.6 billion over the five years to 2013. Over the same
period, operating profit is estimated to grow an annualized 2.7% to reach $4.2 billion, despite a dip of
39.0% during the recession. Hilton's sales fell heavily during the recession as business travel dwindled.
This decline led to significantly increased discounts on room rates in an attempt to maintain cash flows.
However, Hilton's RevPAR has risen strongly since the recession as demand for all forms of travel has
improved. The company also added 176,248 rooms between 2007 and 2013, representing 36.0% growth,
the most of any major lodging company in the industry.

Marriott International, Inc.
Industry Brand Names: Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, Ramada International, Courtyard, Renaissance,
Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Fairfield Inn, Springhill Suites
Market Share: 4.0%
Marriott International Inc. is a lodging company based in Bethesda, MD, with over 3,700 properties
globally in 74 countries. As of 2013, the company employs about 129,000 people globally. Marriott
operates and franchises its hotels under various brands, including Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance,
Courtyard, TownePlace Suites and Bulgari. It also develops and operates vacation ownership resorts under
the Marriott Vacation Club, Horizons, The Ritz-Carlton Club and Grand Residences brands, while
providing Marriott Executive Apartments. In 2012, Marriott earned $11.8 billion in revenue globally, of
which about 80.0% was derived from US-based hotels.

Marriott's operations extend over most segments of the accommodation market, including luxury, full-
service and limited service, to suit a variety of travelers and budgets. While such diversity typically
provides some insulation from economic downturns, many of the company's hotels were forced to severely
cut their room rates to remain competitive and maintain a positive cash flow during the recession.


Due to the nature of Marriott's business structure, with its focus on management, franchising and
licensing, IBISWorld captures the company's market share through estimated network sales rather than
revenue earned. In the five years to 2013, Marriott's network sales are estimated to grow at an average
annual rate of 2.7% to $23.7 billion. It is estimated that the company's operating income will also rebound
to pre-2008 levels after a number of setbacks brought about by reduced travel budgets following the
recession. Total network operating income is estimated to reach $1.9 billion. Marriott's sales growth has
been encouraged by the expansion of its hotel network. From 2008 to 2012, despite global economic
turmoil and shrinking consumer confidence, Marriott added 77,600 rooms globally. This growth has been
achieved mainly through organic expansion rather than major acquisitions.

Other Players
InterContinental Hotels Group PLC

Estimated market share: 3.7%

InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (IHG) is one of the world's biggest hotel companies measured by total
room numbers. IHG owns, manages and franchises more than 4,600 hotels across 100 countries under
nine brands, including Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and InterContinental. The company is based in the
United Kingdom and earned $1.8 billion in revenue globally in 2012. IHG divides its hotels into segments
based on their ownership and management structure: the company's hotels are franchised, managed or
owned. Consistent with IHG's low-asset business model, the majority of the company's hotels operate
under a franchise agreement or are managed by IHG on behalf of the owner. Due to the low capital
investment and minimal wage costs required for franchising, the company's franchise business is its most
profitable segment. According to the company, IHG's network of hotels earned $21.2 billion in 2012, up
5.0% on 2011.

IHG's portfolio of brands covers the broad range of key consumer segments active in the Hotels and
Resorts industry. High-end luxury travelers visiting major cities are catered to by IHG's five-star
InterContinental brand, while its Holiday Inn brand caters to mid-market consumers traveling for business
or leisure. IHG's most recent concoction, Hotel Indigo, is a boutique hotel with 50 locations that target
travelers with a preference for edgy art and design. During the recession, RevPAR for all of IHG's brands
dropped drastically, with some hotels experiencing RevPAR drops of more than 20.0%. However, RevPAR
for all of IHG's brands has rebounded strongly since the depths of 2009. For example, in 2012, RevPAR of
IHG-managed InterContinental hotels in the Americas grew 10.5%.


IHG's asset-light business model means it owns just 10 hotels, meaning most hotels operate under a
franchise agreement or are managed by IHG on behalf of owners. For this reason, IBISWorld measure's the
company's market share by network sales, rather than revenue earned. IHG's total global network sales
(meaning sales garnered from owned, leased and managed hotels, as well as sales earned by third party-
owned franchised hotels) is estimated to grow at an average annual rate of 2.9% to $22.1 billion in the five
years to 2013. While IHG's network sales declined heavily during the recession, the company has bounced
back solidly as business and leisure travelers have increased their spending over the past three years. IHG's
sales growth in the United States over the past five years has been due to both an expanding network and
rising RevPAR. IHG has aggressively targeted the midscale market through its Holiday Inn brand, which
accounted for more than 70.0% of the company's hotel openings in 2012.

Wyndham Worldwide Corporation


Based in New York, Wyndham is one of the largest franchised hotel operators in the United States and is a
global operator. In 2006, parent company Cendant split its operations into discrete companies operating in
specific industries. Its hotel operation was renamed Wyndham Worldwide. In the United States, Wyndham
has about 5,789 properties with a total of 450,000 rooms. In 2012, Wyndham derived 74.0% of its revenue
in the United States and the other 26.0% internationally.

Wyndham Worldwide's brands include Amerihost Inn, Days Inn, Knights Inn, Ramada, RCI, Fairfield
Communities, Super 8 Motels, Travelodge, Villager, Howard Johnson and Wingate Inns. The two largest
brands are Super 8 and Days Inn, which have about 2,000 locations each. Wyndham's brands mainly cover
the economy and midscale markets. It is also involved in timeshare via its RCI and Fairfield Communities
brands.

Over the five years to 2013, total network sales are expected to grow an average 2.0% per year to $8.5
billion. Although sales growth has been particularly strong in 2011 and 2012, growing 7.3% and 6.8%
respectively, the company's US network suffered badly during the recession, dropping 14.4% in 2009
alone. Wyndham earns one of the lowest RevPAR in the industry due to the budget focus of its lodging.

Accor S.A.


Accor is a French company that operates over 3,500 hotels, with a total of over 440,000 rooms, across 90
countries under the brand names of Sofitel, Novotel, Mercure, Etap Hotel, Formule 1, Ibis and Motel 6. It
also operates casinos, travel agencies and restaurants. The company employs about 145,000 people
worldwide and generates about 10.0% of total revenue from its North American operations, about 34.0%
from France and about 30.0% from other European countries. In 2013, Accor is estimated to earn $8.4
billion.

Operating Conditions

Capital Intensity
The level of capital intensity is medium.
This industry is highly customer service oriented
Labor input is required in almost all areas of hotel operation

The Global Hotels and Resorts industry is subject to a moderate level of capital intensity. For every $1.00
the average restaurant in the industry spends on wages in 2013, it will spend an estimated $0.19 on the use
and replacement of capital. Both labor and capital play an important role in the industry.

As a service-based industry, hotel and resort operators are highly dependent on direct labor input across
all areas of operation, from front-desk service, reservations, room service and cleaning, food preparation,
liquor and beverage service, and back of house operational management. Due to the service nature of the
industry, many of these labor-intensive functions cannot be substituted by technology or machinery. To
meet customers' expectations and provide a hospitable stay, trained staff are required. Labor costs can be
managed by bringing on an appropriate number of trained casual and part-time staff at peak guest periods.

Capital costs are also high and operators are exposed to a high level of depreciation. Investment in
buildings, fixtures and fittings, restaurant equipment and capital improvement expenditure all contribute
to high capital costs. However, a greater percentage of hotel operators are choosing to rent rather than own
the actual hotel property they manage, preferring to outsource the property-risk to investors, lowing their
capital costs.

Technology & Systems
The level of technology change is medium.
The use of technology in this industry mainly relates to communications, such as fax, e-mail and web-
based information, as well as booking and reservation systems. Hotels require computerized and online
booking and reservation systems that incorporate room management, accounting and management
information systems, as well as direct approval and payment facilities.

Some companies in this industry have adopted franchise and chain models for their hotels, which reduces
company exposure, debt levels and risks. This has also extended towards recent floats of hotel property
trusts, and the public floating of some major hotel management companies. However, due to the increased
uncertainty related to operators retaining their property management agreement (with more stringent and
unfavorable conditions on these agreements), some operators are choosing to purchase properties to
ensure market presence and certainty is maintained.

For major hotels, the provision of wiring and points for computer and internet access for clients is
important. Also, direct bookings on the web sites of major operators and discount sites continue to
increase strongly. Other hotel groups release their excess rooms at deep discounts and at short notice to
other web-based hotel accommodation sellers. Marriott and Hyatt have established a separate internet
company to supply the hotel industry with everything from bath soap to electricity, and this is now
extending to other operators.

Revenue Volatility
Industry revenue volatility is medium.
Industry revenue volatility is medium due to the industry's dependence on both business and leisure-
related travel, which has some volatility with changes in economic conditions and therefore
accommodation demand. There is also some reliance on growth in international business and leisure
travel, which is sensitive to economic and political uncertainties.

Industry revenue volatility increased in the past five years, with an estimated 7.5% drop in industry
revenue in 2009. Industry revenue rebounded in 2010 with estimated growth of 4.6%, followed by smaller
increases in subsequent years. Future industry revenue volatility is forecast to be low as the global
economy recovers and domestic and international tourist numbers increase steadily, driving demand for
hotel and resort services.

Regulation & Policy
The level of regulation is light and the trend is steady.

Regulations outline the legislative requirements for hotels and resorts operating in this industry. With few
government controls and regulations for hotel and resort operations, this industry is subject to a light and
steady regulatory level.

The industry is not regulated to any great extent, but does have to conform to laws and regulations
applicable in the country of operation. These can include general local planning rules, including fire safety;
general public health, such as food safety and handling within restaurants; occupational health and safety
regulations for workers and guests; and, liquor licensing laws, if a hotel is licensed.

Industry Assistance
The level of industry assistance is low and the trend of industry assistance is increasing.

There are no specific tariffs for this industry.
The Global Hotels and Resorts industry benefits from the tourism advertising and promotional activities of
national and provincial governments to attract international tourists. These funds are of direct assistance
to operators, many of which may not directly contribute financially or link onto any strategic promotional
initiatives internationally.

In some developing countries, approved new hotel and resorts or their expansion may be entitled to receive
an investment allowance to offset against chargeable income. In addition, some countries have negotiated
a double taxation agreement with other countries under which exemptions or tax concessions granted by a
national government are not negated by an imposition of tax in the country of residence of the investor.

Finally, governments in some countries reduce or eliminate taxation payable by non-residents on profit
from the sale of investment land used for particular purposes that may include hotel and resort
developments. These policies are usually designed to attract investment and employment to countries or
even regions within them. Governments may also offer accelerated depreciation and investment
allowances as incentives for the building of accommodation.
