Hotel industry think tank top 10 challenges for 2010
I am privileged to be one of the co-chairs of the Lodging Industry Investment Council along with Mike Cahill and Sean Hennessey. This is the hotel industry “think tank” whose membership owns or operates many billions of hotel investments, and involves all aspects of the industry.
For most of the last 10 years, we have premiered the release of The LIIC Top 10 at our annual Meet the Money® conference, and this year is no different.
What is really neat about this survey, is that it is “forward looking”. It reflects what industry leaders with billions of dollars of hotel real estate investment are looking at and what their sentiments are right now!

Hotel Lawyers with grim reports from the field. If lenders are looking for some encouraging news on their distressed hotel asset sales prospects, they are not going to get it anytime soon. That is what the Atlas 2009 Year End Hotel Survey shows, but it does offer some valuable tips for dealing with continued distress in 2010.
Here is an executive summary.

Hotel Lawyer: ALIS brings optimists to earth. Lenders make new evaluations. Realism is cold and gray.
31 January 2010
Hotel Lawyer: A new realism settles on the hotel industry. We’ve already given up 2010 and 2011 won’t be that much better . . . then a long, slow “jobless recovery.”
“Realism” was the defining word for the ALIS conference held in San Diego on January 25-27, 2010. ALIS attendance was roughly half or less of last year, and the experts officially declared 2009 one of the worst years for the hospitality industry. They have already thrown in the towel on the industry for 2010, and look to an anemic 2011, with double digit growth in RevPAR after that . . . but we are so far down the hole now, that even double digit RevPAR growth will take years to reclaim the levels enjoyed in 2005-2007.
So what does this portend for lenders? And what is the smart money doing now?
