Current Market Outlook Reviews

Hotel Valuation Index (HVI)

The HVI combines the various factors affecting the economy and region at large with hotel-market specific demand and supply dynamics to derive indicative hotel values and future growth trends.

This index provides indicative hotel values representative of the four and five- star hotels using the income capitalization approach. Recovery outlook and financing terms have been considered based on each market investment cycle and recovery trends.

The reported values exclude luxury properties and significantly large hotels that offer numerous food and beverage outlets, extensive meeting and banqueting space, extensive wellness or other facilities with unusual dimensions.
