Since the beginning of COVID-19, the world has undergone a major economic turmoil for the hospitality and tourism industry. With the steep decline in occupancy rates and Average Daily Rates (ADR), many hotel properties were restructured or refinanced with new vision and strategies.
During this time of operational challenges, the industry is in dire need for a combined solution of expertise and capital. This may, in fact, provide unique opportunities for investors to bring the combination of capital and capability to the hospitality industry.
