It's got it all: win-win for IHG and Novum. Super-rich and laggards.

Dear Insider,

The high of the week: the deal between IHG and Novum Hospitality, a very skilful move, well thought out. The low of the week: the IHIF in Berlin, an investment conference in decline because it simply flies too high with a regular entrance fee of 4,000 euros. The sun is shining in Brussels: a market with great potential, as the new hotel association president Willem van der Zee reveals in an interview - and more.

There have always been super yachts, but now Four Seasons, Accor, Aman and Ritz-Carlton are working on launching (more) multi-million euro small ships on the high seas. Fittingly: The small, fine Oetker Collection with its super-sharp luxury profile is opening its first "Masterpiece" hotel in the USA. Will Travel Charme survive after the takeover? We simply asked. Our sections (VIP News, Market News and today also IHIF News) are well-stocked, entertaining features are once again offered by "Picked" and our HITT should arouse your curiosity - only two months to go until Amsterdam! Are you already a participant? By the way, we are sticking to fair prices.

Pop stars and Motel One

12.4.2024

Dear Insider,

The Easter bunny didn't put any solutions in the sector's basket, only black or green eggs. On the one hand, the gloom has increased due to insolvencies, yet on the other, the superlative figures are going through the roof. It feels like the gap between decline and new opportunities is widening almost every week. Today, we talk to Motel One about the planned IPO, about pop stars such as Adele and Taylor Swift, who generate more millions in revenue for every destination than footballers, and about Benelux with its huge hospitality potential. Austria is getting ESG hotels up and running with subsidies and sustainability bonuses, while Switzerland is pooling industry data in a new database. And the WTTC sees trillions shining in the global GDP sky.

This stands opposite the insolvencies of former dream resorts such as Almdorf Seinerzeit in Austria, the clear signs of a dying hospitality industry in the German-speaking Europe region, the deep fall in European hotel transactions and the collapse of German transactions to nothing. Find out more, including about our HITT Think Tank in Amsterdam.
