After a rapid and strong recovery, visibility on future growth phases is diminishing. Operators, who were hoping for a prosperous summer and autumn, are facing a more mixed reality: stagnating average daily rates after a period of strong growth, falling occupancy rates, reduced spending on business travel, and a drop in activity in the construction industry reducing demand for accommodation.  

In a context marked by the cyclical nature of the hotel and tourism industry, where phases of growth are less and less predictable, it is crucial to address topics that can offer perspectives and solutions to current challenges. 

Major events: the myth of a positive impact? 

In times of economic uncertainty, major events such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games can play a decisive role in the dynamics of the hotel and tourism market. 

Analysing their real impact helps us to understand whether these events bring lasting benefits or whether they are just a myth. This helps operators to better anticipate potential spin-offs and adjust their strategies accordingly. 

MKG Consulting will present an in-depth analysis of the impact of the Olympic and Paralympic Games and, more broadly, of the impact of major events on the hotel and tourism sector. This presentation will provide essential data and perspectives for understanding the true impact of these events. 

Marta Gomes, President of the ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) and Deputy Director of the Commercial Division at Viparis, will share her insights into the organisation and impact of major events. What are the real benefits in the short, medium and long term, and what are the challenges associated with hosting such events in destinations? 

This will be followed by a focus on Paris Region, which will be hosting the majority of the competition events in less than two weeks' time. What strategies are being deployed to maximise the economic and tourism benefits of these major events? 

The new deal for investment 

In a rapidly changing market, collaboration between investors and hotel operators is more important than ever. Working in pairs provides a holistic view of today's challenges and opportunities. Investors bring a financial and strategic perspective, while operators offer an in-depth understanding of operational needs and market trends. This synergy is essential for navigating uncertain economic cycles effectively and maximising returns on investment. 

Meet two of the duos behind projects that are emblematic of the French and European hospitality landscape. 

Their presentations will highlight the way in which investment decisions and hotel operations are interconnected, offering a comprehensive view of current market issues. 

MKG Consulting will conclude this sequence with a presentation on the new investment landscape. This presentation will provide crucial insights and data for understanding the current trends and dynamics of the hotel market, as well as the outlook. Helping participants to better navigate this rapidly changing landscape. 

What are major European institutional investors thinking, doing and planning? 

The decisions and projections of major institutional investors can have a major influence on the direction of the market. Understanding their expectations, strategies and plans will enable industry players to better prepare themselves and align themselves with investment trends. In an environment where visibility is limited, insights from large investors can provide valuable indications of the market's future stability and growth. 

By addressing these topics at the Hospitality Asset Forum, we provide participants with the tools and knowledge to navigate through this volatile period and identify potential levers for rebound. These discussions promote a better understanding of market dynamics and encourage informed and strategic decisions.
