In both developed and emerging towns and cities hotels contribute to the establishment of sustainable destinations; their function enhances other business activities.

  4. Shape, size and structure of the Hotel industry • 13,443,014 is the total recorded inventory of branded hotel bedrooms globally. Supply increased by more than 2.3mn bedrooms since 2000 (Smith Travel Research (STR) July 2012). • Middle East & Africa region has experienced a 2.5% compound annual growth in branded hotel bedrooms since 2000 • Hotel industry has undergone two major revolution that can be dated back to InterContinental’s acquisition of Posthouse Forte in 2001 1) branding and 2) separation of ownership from the operations. • On a global scale, hotels operated under a management agreement are prevailing and increasingly replacing owner-operated hotels and other contract structures such as lease agreements. However, in some regions (e.g. Europe), the lease agreement is still the predominant business model and its replacement by the management agreement is proceeding at a slower pace. • A significant share of hotel investment in Europe is undertaken by institutional investors such as real estate funds, pension funds or insurance companies. These investors often require (either by law or their articles of incorporation) income from rent and lease. Due to this fact, these investors can only enter lease agreements, not management agreements (which would generate income from trade and business). • Lenders in Europe are conservative, which causes banks to have a preference of lease agreements; where the lessee bears the full operational risk and the lessor receives a steady cash flow to cover the amortisation of debt. ME&A has 5% of the world’s branded hotel supply Kenya Investment Forum 3rd Dec 2013, Ewan Cameron, Lonrho Hotels
