Developing/Positioning ISHC in EMEA Miami, October 2006
Countries • In some EMEA countries, non-EMEA members have a larger 'count' than EMEA members (including France, Germany, Italy, Spain etc.) • There are few EMEA countries where any experience within ISHC comes from non-EMEA members • Occidental Europe is quite well covered, except in the Scandinavian countries. • Eastern Europe is not so well covered, particularly among EMEA members. • In the Mediterranean, there are still a lot of countries on the rise where it would be important to find members: for instance Croatia or North African countries such as Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt.
Properties • There is no experience in EMEA in Holiday Villages (is it all under resorts?) • and very limited experience in Condo hotels and Green hotels. New areas?
Industry • Specialties below, not covered by EMEA members • Labour Productivity • Labour Relations • Ownership Transition • Purchasing • Recreational Facilities • Restaurants • Spas • Time Sharing / Vacation Ownership • Tourism Research and Consulting • Water Park • Building Facilities / RMS • Casinos / Gaming • Corporate Board Expertise • Construction Project Management • Customer / Employee Surveys • Family Entertainment Centres • Forensic Analysis • Human Resources • Loan Underwriting
Industry - 2 • For some specialties, it may be that they are much more geared to the US market. • Also interesting to note how, with the exception of Due Diligence / Feas Studies and Development Services and to a lesser extent Strategic Planning and Operational Analysis / Review, in most of the other categories there are only 1 or 2 'experts'. • Finally, could the classification be too tedious at some points or a bit confusing with <Properties>. Particularly in view of the restriction of each member not to mention more than 4 areas.
Drivers for the future (by Ian Graham) • Rise of domestic and outbound tourism from emerging markets • Baby-boomers move from full time work to part time and retirement • New generation (18-25): as they start to become independent adults what domestic and international hospitality products will they look for and how different will this be from earlier generations • Migration of labour • Technology: tools are increasing allowing businesses to build direct relationships with customers and for customers to share experiences between themselves • Where is the innovation in this industry? How does it compare with e.g. the cruise or 2nd home or the low cost airline industries?
