The pros and cons for hotel investors

There will never be a “one-size-fits-all” operating model. On considering investment into the hotel market, an investor should carry out a self-evaluation to establish the following:

• What is the investor’s risk appetite?
• How much operational control over hotel operations does the investor want, if any at all?
• How experienced is the investor in operating hotels?
• Which brands are most suitable for the hotel and which of those are available under a lease structure, franchise or management contract?

These are just a few of the key factors which hotel investors should consider on investing into this dynamic market.
