Posted on by pmalone

Briefing: hospitality a key driver of economic growth

Posted on by pmalone

The value that hospitality creates for all economies across the world is sometimes overlooked by the global governments. This is exacerbated by the hotel industry being historically very poor at coming together in one-voice and explaining eloquently how significant a thriving hotel market can be to an area, region or even country.

In this briefing we hear from key experts about the consequences of a thriving hospitality industry and what the sector could be doing more of to push governments to recognise it as a stable hedge against economic instability. Including comment from:

  • Paul Slattery, Director of Otus & Co. Advisory on the next 10 years being crucial for global governments
  • Gaël Le Lay, Head of Hotel Investment for AXA Real Estate on the hotels sector growth being correlated with economic development
  • Robert Gaymer-Jones, CEO of Sofitel Luxury Hotels on pushing governments further to encourage tourism
  • Marc Socker, Senior Director – Hotel Fund Management of Invesco Real Estate on what he wishes David Cameron, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, would do for the industry

Briefing: hospitality being noticed by global Governments

Posted on by pmalone

One of the biggest problems hospitality has is demonstrating to the Government’s of the World the value the industry brings to their economies. Hospitality seems to continually fall off the radar when it comes to the key drivers of change and growth across the World.

With the work of Taleb Rifai at the UNWTO and David Scowsill of the WTTC the industry is beginning to put its head above the parapet and be noticed.

In this briefing we hear from:

  • Taleb Rifai on the UNWTO and the WTTC tackling Governments together.
  • David Scowsill of the WTTC on how much tourism generates for the global economy.
  • Ed Fuller, former MD at Marriott International on the need for Governments to help the industry.
  • And Sir Nigel Knowles, co-CEO of DLA Piper LLP on problems faced by Governments at the moment.

Briefing: the role of government

Posted on by pmalone

Government’s role in shaping industries is integral, hospitality is a major source of trade which they should be very aware of. In this current time as Europe struggles to come to an agreement on a stimulus package for many countries, politicians now need to look at industries which can help set the economy back on the straight and narrow. Hospitality is arguably one of the best industries for this.

The WTTC and UNWTO both work together on behalf of the private and public sector, trying to convince governments to invest more time and money into the sector. Employment, tourism and real estate development are just some of the reasons hospitality can play a pivotal role in the recovery.

In this briefing we hear from:

  • Prof. Ian Goldin, Director of the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford, on the need for the industry to convince politicians.
  • Taleb Rifai, Secretary-General of the UNWTO, on the economic argument for hospitality.
  • Ed Fuller, former President & MD of Marriott International, on the consequences of ignoring the hotel industry.
  • And David Scowsill, President & MD of the WTTC, on the resilience of the industry.
