The hotel industry has remained resilient despite a traumatic year following the events of 11th September 2001 and the global economic downturn. Numbers continue to grow and the industry is expected to show sign of growth by the 1st Quarter of 2004.
However, in order to do this, hotel companies must look for ways to expand and finance that expansion. `Developments in Hotel Financing` is a panel designed to examine the latest trends and opportunities emerging in hotel financing. This forms and integral part of Euromoney Seminars` 2nd Annual European Hotel Investment Forum taking place on the 17th and 18th September 2002 at Le Meridien Piccadilly in London. The panel of distinguished speakers will be moderated by Ashley Krais, Group Finance Director from Queens Moat Houses. He will ensure that Henrik Bartl, Head of International Hotel Financing from Aareal Bank, Peter Anscombe, Corporate Director, Leisure and Head of Travel and Hotels at the Royal Bank of Scotland and Hans Rijnberg, Head of European Hotel Team at NIB Capital Bank provide answers to the following questions:
- What short and long term trends are developing in hotel financing?
- What are the long term finance opportunities?
- Is the sale and leaseback strategy a viable option for everyone?
- Is securitisation an effective way to raise capital for expansion in the hotel industry?
This session is essential for any hotel company looking to expand and any banker seeking to learn the latest trends within this diverse industry. The delegates will be given every chance to question the panellists during what promises to be one of the most interesting sessions of the conference.
