What You'll Learn

  • The rise of the "vaccication": how have tourists's desires to travel helped boutique hotels recover?
  • RTO and the tie to hospitality: as many downtown hotels are waiting for conference travel to resume, how are they surviving/incentivizing people to stay in the meantime?
  • Safety first: what COVID precautions, like scaling back room service, will remain implemented in the long term?
  • Who's financing, and refinancing, for hotels now? What will incentivize banks/lenders to reinvest in hospitality?
  • Reimagining tomorrow's hotels: what amenities/development styles, like micro-hotels, will become a thing of the past?

 

How You'll Do More Business: 

Summer is back in full swing, with leisure travel returning to pre-pandemic norms and Americans eager to take their first vaccination. However, the leisure uptick is not enough to substantiate a full recovery for the hospitality industry. According to the Wall Street Journal, corporate trips remain 70% or more below pre-pandemic levels, with top industry leaders anticipating a full return to "normal" by 2023. Come September, most corporations will have announced their return to office strategy, giving the CRE industry a clear insight as to how these decisions will impact business travel. Learn how hotel owners, operators, and investors are making the best out of hospitality's slow recovery, and where we can anticipate seeing the asset class recover in leaps and bounds. 
 

Who You’ll Meet: The nation's top hotel owners and operators, investors, developers, and analysts working hard to see hospitality rebound.
