Course Details
SEMINAR DESCRIPTION: With the downturn in the U.S. economy and the resulting cutbacks in all types of travel, hotels are experiencing rapidly declining occupancies, room rates and profits. Coupled with a total lack of debt capital, hotel transactions have come to a complete halt and many hotel owners are under extreme stress because their property’s cash flow is insufficient to cover debt service. These are challenging times for hotel appraisers who must thoroughly understand the current hotel economic environment and apply the correct valuation techniques in order to develop a realistic estimate of value. This seminar provides hotel owners, operators and appraisers the tools, software and knowledge needed to evaluate the dynamically changing local supply and demand trends, quantify the relative competitiveness of nearby hotels, forecast occupancy, room rate and REVPAR, project a detailed income and expense statement and utilize the appropriate appraisal techniques to estimate market and liquidation values. In addition to hotel appraisals, this seminar also illustrates how hotel market and feasibility studies are performed. Seminar participants will work with HVS Hotel Valuation Software, three state-of-the-art programs developed by HVS that forecasts hotel occupancy, room rate, income and expense and value. The HVS software programs and user manual, along with a demonstration hotel market study and valuation, a handbook on hotel investments and numerous research studies and articles will be included in each participant’s take-home package. SEMINAR OUTLINE: · Introduction and Overview of the U.S. Hotel Industry · Hotel Risks -Economic Life and Obsolescence (physical, functional and external) · Types of Hotel Facilities · New Hotel Products and Services · Historic Trends and Hotel Cycles · Current Hotel Economic Environment and Outlook for the Future · Franchising and Management Contracts · Product Segmentation and Consolidation · Hotel Valuation- Cost, Sales Comparison, Income · Hotel Valuation- Data Sources · Supply and Demand Room Night Analysis Model & Case Study · Income and Expense Forecasting Model & Case Study · Hotel Valuation Model & Case Study · Hotel Business and Personal Property Components SEMINAR EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS: Students need to bring their own personal computer containing a USB port and a charger.
