4 Hotel Investment Outlook | January 2013

Steady deal pace pa ce in 2012 Primary markets led a steady pace of deal activity in the hotel investment arena during 2012. While the year was t ougher than initially hoped, the pace of transact ions endured and some signs of revival continue to feature in the debt markets. That said, economic headwinds kept a lid on overall global volume improvement. Specically, growth was tempered by the slowdown in emerging markets, as well as concerns about the U.S. debt ceiling and Eurozone woes. Total transactions reached $31.8 billion, a 5% softening on 2011 levels. levels. While the Americ as region held steady at $17.5 $17.5 billion, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacic slowed down by 10% and 30%, posting deal volumes of $11 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively.

Global hotel transaction volume 1998 - 2013F

Our forecasts are based on how key drivers of transactions volume— such as cost of capital, industry fundamentals, share prices of listed investment vehicles and the overall ownership composition—are expected to perform in 2013. Economic forecast shows long road ahead In many regards, global commercial property markets have bucked wider economic trends. Their capital values, hotel trading fundamentals and rents are all generally improving against a backdrop of downward revisions to economic growth. Given the amount of stimulus injected into the world economy, growth rates for 2013 to 2015 should be well above the current levels. In fact, it looks as though it will take until 2015 for growth to match 2010 levels. This implies that the changes occurring are more structural than cyclical, which has a profound impact on investment strategies moving forward.

Continued momentum in 2013 2013 In 2013, we forecast global deal volume of $33 billion, in line with the most recent three-year average. Hampering transactional growt h, however, however, are economic pressures in a number of the world’s mature economies, along with long-term ownership structures in emerging markets, particularly in Asia. Still, we expect that the global hotel investment market will be ush with equity capital that will support transactional activity. In the Americas, Americ as, investment volume is expected to see some upside, reaching $18.5 billion. In EMEA, new sources of debt and stable trading fundamentals will maintain deal pace at a projected $11 $11 billion, with investment activity driven by debt restructuring deals. Hotel real estate in vast parts of Asia remains closely held, which constrains overall liquidity. The region’s volumes are expected to mark a slight uptick to $3.5 billion in 2013, with activity concentrated in Australia and Japan.

Austerity will continue to be a drag on growth with little prospect of relief in most of the major developed economies. Government debt as a proportion of GDP is highest in Japan, It aly, France, France, the U.S. and the U.K., with a big impact on these countries’ economic prospects. The bright spot f or Europe is that the governments have started to take act ion, whereas in the U.S. and Japan, policymakers continue to stall on decisive action.


Sovereign wealth funds from Qatar and Abu Dhabi, as well as emerging capital from China and Indonesia will also scour the globe for trophy opportunities. To a lesser extent, U.S.-based private equity funds will make selective bids in t argeted regions.

On the sell-side, inadvertent owners such as banks and receivers will drive a signicant share of product to market. Private equity rms and institutional investors are also expected to liquidate some previous acquisitions, either to divest select non-core assets or to fund life maturities.

Herd mentality and the gap The hotel market is mirroring wider commercial property markets in that secure investments are chosen over higher yielding opportunities. Investors have seen prime assets in top locations trade the best during various economic cycles and these will therefore continue to be the most sought-after properties. We expect this to continue as long as uncertainty is evident, especially in Western Europe, and to a degree in the U.S., resulting in some “herd mentality” amongst investors. Secondary markets are a different story, featuring a wide pricing gap between sellers and buyers. Investors remain cautious about timing and are reluctant to become overexposed. This will c onstrain deal volume in Europe, in particular. The short term appears cautiously optimistic for U.S. markets, and upside exists if owners/inadvertent owners such as lenders accept acc ept lower pricing. Asia’s investment landscape remains tightly held; investors need to be prepared to consider all markets and hotel asset types if they wish to build scale. Private equity fronts a strong bench of buyers Hotel buyers will remain engaged in 2013, with a strong bench of buyer groups. Counter-cyclical buyers such as private equity investors in the U.S. and Europe, along with conglomerates in Southeast Asia, will lead the pack, seizing opportunities to acquire rare assets in displaced capital markets. Given their signicant buying power and risk tolerance in a volatile environment, they are in position to achieve opportunistic returns. REITs, who have a lower risk prole, will continue to make headline acquisitions in 2013, seeking to diversify their portfolios, particularly in North America and some markets across Europe. In Asia Pacic, the successful successf ul listing of two new hotel R REIT EITss in Singapore and more planned for 2013 is likely to result in higher volumes by these groups.

The rise in movement of global capital is driven by opportunistic purchases of assets which rarely c ome to market, as well as investors yearning for diversication of currency, geography, political policy and economics. Cross-border capital accounted for 30% of global hotel investment in 2012, trending above the recent average and driven by strong outbound capital ow from t he Middle East and Asia. Sovereign wealth funds and family conglomerates are the key investment vehicles which will export capital in 2013. It is expected that crossborder capital will continue to ow and possibly accelerate in 2013. Re-emergence of debt and new players Debt liquidity is still c onstrained, but should be at its highest level in 2013 since 2007, 2007, notwithstanding notwithst anding regional variances. Large banks, traditionally key providers of real estate debt nancing, still don’t have sufcient capacity to lend signicant sources of new money, but are reducing their exposure to bad loans. The U.S. debt markets are strongly re- emerging, driven by commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) lenders, who will continue to drive pricing, terms and accessibility. Balance sheet lenders are more selective with regard to asset quality, market and sponsorship, but are frequently able to provide the oating rate loan structures typically favoured by hotel owners. In EMEA, debt remains difcult to secure but there are signs of improvement, and we expect to see more liquidity in 2013. Across Asia Pacic, debt is not a factor except in Japan where a high proportion of C MBS loans still need to be worked out. Other forms of debt nancing are required to ll the gap, and various alternative groups, including sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies and mutual funds, have entered the real estate lending space by providing senior debt. Longer term, the debt environment in Europe is likely to more closely resemble that w hich exists in the U.S. as regulations make lending more attractive, particularly for insurers. Over the longer term, the growing inuence of emerging markets is likely to be felt through increasing savings rates which will nd their way into the property market, and eventually the hotel market, by pension fund investors.

Hotel operating fundamentals galvanize outlook

Success playbook

Hotel operating fundamentals are generally holding strong, and in some cases are outperforming expectations, given economic pressures, which underscores the attractiveness of high quality, income producing hotel real estate as an ass et class.

As previous cycles provide few clues to what lies ahead in the next few years, investors look to new indicators to calculate investment roadmaps. While markets around the world continue to c ultivate transparency and interdependence becomes more prevalent, the deal arena is increasingly globalised and therefore, a bigger playing eld. Economic challenges are having a worldwide impact on how and with whom investors conduct deals. At the same time, the availability of data and information is expanding, increasing decisionmaking capacity.

At the forefront of growth in revenue per available room (RevPAR) (RevPAR) in 2013 are the world’s gateway gateway cities and resource -rich countries. Markets that will see t he most growth in demand and average room rates are those that are pursued by global travellers, along w ith those that are beneting from demand due to t he countries’ rising middle class. That said, the pace of growth will be below the bounce-back years of 2010 and 2011 in many markets. Real estate market cultivates transparency Market transparency, measured by availability of data, overall legal framework and governance of listed vehicles, for inst ance, has posted increases globally over the past two years, as surveyed in the Jones Lang LaSalle Real Estate Transparency Index. Overall, these worldwide improvements are expected to have a positive effect on transaction volumes and cross-border capital ows. The destinations of foreign c apital are generally highly liquid, transparent and secure markets. Increased transparency will be a key driver for the future of the industry as a whole.

Unexpected events, such as political unrest and natural disasters, seem to have become the norm. During this period of uncertainty and rapidly changing dynamics, greater exibility will c ontinue to be demanded from investors and all market participants. The abilit y to react to change will feature as a success indicator. In the future, victories will be predicated by players who adopt a culture and business model that incorporates effective risk assessment, strategic agility and exible action.

Positive momentum bucks volatility hangover

Fundamentals continue with vigour in 2013

Hotel real estate investors unlocked capital and aggressively bid on hotel assets throughout 2012, 2012, with hotel investment volume holding steady at $17.5 $17.5 billion in the Americas. Transactions Transactions pace cruised at a stable momentum throughout the year, driven by private equity funds and real est ate investment trusts (REITs). Debt returned to the market in a meaningful way, and is showing indications that it will continue its strong rec overy.

We expect hotel operating fundamentals to maintain healthy growth in the U.S. in 2013, with revenue per available room (RevPAR) gains ranging from 6% to 7%. In the absence of any major demand shocks, corporate and group business is expected to c ontinue to improve, and leisure travel will continue to rise in 2013.

In addition to the sale of hotel assets, performing and nonperforming hotel debt also traded at substantial levels which, if fully quantiable, would show even greater total lodging transaction volume for the year. Macro-economic pressures persist, and the Eurozone crisis and debt ceiling debate in the U.S. have kept a lid on higher economic growt h, but as the future comes more into focus, economic growth will be poised to accelerate. This will further underpin fundamentals in the hotel real estate market. Healthy and growing operating fundamentals, an abundance of equity capital and an ever improving debt market will suppor t a buoyant market for hotel trades in 2013. Transactions Transactions volume for the year is expected to reach $18.5 billion, continuing a moderate increase on 2012 levels. This gure refers to asset sales and does not include note and loan sales, deed-in- lieu transfers, and the like.

Among the markets which will lead the growth are San Francisco, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, Chic ago, New York and Hawaii. Washington, D.C., where growth stagnated in 2012, 2012, should see a lift in 2013 2013 due to the presidential inauguration and more travel to the cit y as public and private sector groups strengthen ties wit h the administration. Also underpinning the market’s performance is the fact that supply increases will (again) be below the long-ter m average in 2013. Over the past 20 years, periods of below-average supply growth have coincided with above-average RevPAR growth and we expect this to feature as a trend in 2013 as well. Demand growth is expected to outstrip supply increases which will give a lift to occupancy rates and spur pricing power.

Among the factors which have shown high correlations to deal ow are availability and cost of capital, capit al, industry supply and demand fundamentals, REITs’ stock prices, the size and number of assets being brought to market and the overall hotel ownership composition, all of which — notwithstanding some risk—are moving in favor of an attractive environment for buying and selling.

Private equity buyers lead the pack

Debt swells to a six-year six-year high

Private equity funds unleashed some $7 billion of c apital in 2012 for hotel investments making them the largest net buyers. We expect this trend to continue in 2013. Together with REITs, we expect private equity buyers to comprise as much as 70% of total acquisition volume across the Americas.

Another driving force which will shape the hotel investment market in 2013 is the strong re-emergence of hotel nancing. D riven primarily by commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) but including a diverse group of lenders such as domestic and off-shore commercial banks, insurance companies, debt funds and mortgage R EITs, EITs, we expect debt liquidity to be at t he highest level since 2007.

Private equity players will become increasingly active in both primary and secondary U.S. markets, beneting from increasing debt levels. We estimate that private equity funds have a buying capacity—with leverage—of up to $ 45 billion for hotels over the next several years. Private equity investors will both target single ass ets and several needle-moving large select service portfolios (up to 100+ hotels), as well as merger and acquisitions plays.

Balance sheet lenders are more selective with regard to asset quality, market and sponsorship, but are frequently able to provide the oating rate loan structures typically favoured by hotel owners. The formidable return of the CM BS market in 2012 had the twofold effect of dramatically improving pricing and terms for borrowers, while also drawing other lenders into the hospitality space. While debt liquidity is nowhere near the previous peak and lenders continue to be selective, early indic ations are that hotels will remain a targeted asset class for lenders as they offer high yield relative to other real estate and xed income classes in terms of risk prole.

In 2013, sellers will be motivated by different factors. At the one end of the spectrum, owners of high-quality, performing assets in gateway markets will face signicant buyer interest from private equity funds, REITs, and in the case of gateway markets, off-shore investors.

REITs, on the other hand, have a penchant for branded institutional quality assets with in-place cash ow in the country’s 15 largest urban centres. REITs will largely target single-asset acquisitions or small portfolios with up to four to ve hotels. The exact force of REITs will depend on their share prices and ability to raise capital. While R EITs EITs have been on an acquisitions run again since mid-2012 as their stock valuations increased, they do face risk in 2013, and had generally lowered guidance during late 2012. 2012.

This competitive bidding, driven in part by the scarcity of this type of product on the market, will push up capital values and drive down yields, resulting in favourable opportunities for sellers. Quality assets with in-place cash c ash ow will be best posit ioned to transact in 2013 and we expect the average asset price of single assets to tick up during the course of the year.

On the other end of the spectrum are the sellers who continue to be pressured to sell due to debt service repayment issues or looming loan maturities. Owners may also be moved to sell in cases where they are unwilling or unable to invest capital for needed proper ty improvements. In addition, lenders are taking a more aggressive stance with troubled loans, s howing a greater willingness to foreclose as well as sell notes and real estate owned proper ties. Pricing of assets in secondary and tertiary markets that are subject to brand and management encumbrances will be under pressure in 2013 and these assets will face a smaller audience of buyers. Resor t assets could become an interesting play in 2013 as group meeting business continues to improve and leisure travel remains strong. Further, resort development will continue to be sparse, providing signicant runway for demand increases to result in improved operating performance.

Off-shore demand

Pricing for these types of assets will be well below the levels which the higher quality prime assets will garner. Nonetheless, they often present solid opportunities and strong current returns that will appeal to a segment of the market that is chasing current yield.

Middle Eastern and Asian investors will continue to actively pursue opportunities in the c ountry’s gateway markets. The U.S. saw $800 million in inbound capital from these two investment groups, and we expect the incoming volume to increase to approximately $1 billion in 2013.

2013: The great deleveraging?

The most active Middle Eastern investors in t he U.S. are those from Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Kuwait. From Asia, the key key investors are those from China and Southeast Asia, though c onglomerates from India have their eye on several U.S. assets as well. Collectively, C ollectively, these investors’ motivation is political, economic and currency diversication, and the fact that hotel assets typically act as a hedge against ination, as rate growth outpaces ination. European investors, on the other hand, are expected to be quiet as they sor t out economic difculty at home.

The U.S. market continues to face a signicant amount of CMBS loan maturities over the next several years. The unpaid balance of hotel CMBS loans with initial maturit y dates through 2013 totals $19 $19 billion, according to Morningstar, LLC. While asset values and the debt markets have rebounded sufciently to bail out some troubled borrowers, many owners are still seeking ways to delay near-term maturities in hopes of further recovery. However, However, lenders, and in particular subordinate lenders, have shown increased willingness to foreclose on l oans in default, or to sell their positions to others poised t o exercise rights and remedies. This has resulted in fewer extensions and more situations where borrowers are trying to delay foreclosure actions by negotiating in the courts or promising to repay the loans if given a bit of breathing room. Consequently, particularly for hotel assets, 2013 could very well mark the beginning of the long-awaited “great deleveraging”—a period with signicant call to action in terms of hotel loans. Following years of extensions, exibility and workouts, t he debt will eventually have to get dealt with, and it w ill be through sales and recapitalizations, which will represent an unprecedented reshufing of loans and capital in the market.

Canada’s Canada’s hotel transaction activ ity has not recovered to the same degree as it has in the U.S., though Toronto Toronto saw several large transactions in 2012. While Canada benets from a relatively healthy demand outlook, investors in the market have retained a domestic focus. Sellers of Canadian assets have not attr acted bids from U.S. REITs REITs and face a narrower buying audience. The relatively limited stock of hotels available for sale will c ontinue to hamper a large uptick of deal volume in 2013.


Mexico moves to bright spot

Caribbean Islands: more deal ow

With its emerging middle class driving an economic rebound, Mexico’s gross domestic product is expected to grow by 4% annually over the next several years. Overall, the country’s lodging market and tourism infrastructure is the most sophisticated in all of Latin America in terms of the proportion of international-grade hotel stock. The country’s key hotel markets are performing well and visitor levels in Cancun, Los Cabos and Mexico City are exceeding previous peak levels.

The Caribbean will experience an improvement in demand fundamentals in 2013 barring signicant economic deterioration in the region’s key source markets. Markets with above-average fundamentals include the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, t he Cayman Islands and Aruba. The region’s hotel operations remain susceptible to changes to airlift, hurricanes, and high energy costs. The allinclusive sector has led the rec overy, and we expect the luxury market to show more signs of regaining in 2013.

The country’s narco-violence marks a stark contrast to its otherwise healthy fundamentals. As a result, the country will struggle to keep optimism in check. The key international tourist destinations have largely been spared negative headlines in the last year, which bodes well for the future. Mexico’s hotel transactions market had been dened by illiquidity as of late, though deal ow picked up to approximately $40 0 million in 2012, driven by several single asset transact ions. Signs point to an ongoing pick-up in transactional activity in Mexico. The year 2013 should bring several more sales of prime assets, along with forced sales. Prime assets will garner strong investor interest; struggling assets will fac e a limited buyer audience, unless they are unencumbered by brand and management. Buyers will be comprised of opportunistic investors and hotel brands making strategic plays in order to enter cer tain markets. That said, the number of active investors will remain below previous peak levels. Though the transactions environment will see s ome improvement, the primary growth opportunity for investors lies in the expansion of the country’s network of branded limited service hotels to service the country’s middle class.

In 2013, we expect to see several more existing large resorts, particularly in the upscale and luxury sectors, changing ownership/ control via debt restructuring. The buyer audience for distressed resorts will be limited to rescue capital. Performing assets, on the other hand, are less likely to trade in 2013 because pricing remains below potential. Inter-regional capital dominates Central America Like the Caribbean, Costa Rican resort markets experienced a wave of development during the past seven years with many properties encompassing residential units. Given its stable political environment, healthy economic fundamentals and the newly expanded Liberia airport, Costa Rica will again be on the radar of investors and we expect several projects to be revitalized in the medium term. However, However, this rests on equity injections, a re -tooling of joint ventures and conrmation that Costa Rica’s source markets remain on a solid path to economic recovery. Within Central America, Costa Rica is the only market which is likely to at tract U.S. investor interest.

e t a r t s e r e t n i

With the bulk of large resorts in the Caribbean having been nanced by high levels of debt and many featuring a struggling residential component, any sales activity will be driven by owners who are forced to sell due to default, etc. Other assets which may transact are stalled development projects.

Panama, on the other hand, is in the domain of intra- regional investors, such as capital sources from Colombia and Venezuela. Demand sources for Panama differ as well; hotel development has largely been concentrated in Panama City and as suc h caters to urban, and not resort demand. Investor interest will remain tempered in 2013, though the Panama Canal, which is undergoing expansion, represents future upside.

South America’s dramatic transformation With the underwhelming pace of economic recovery across many of the world’s mature economies, conditions in South America offer a bright spot, with its economic growth rate to represent double that of the U.S. over the next few years. Investors’ focus will c ontinue to be on new development, development, which is accompanied by large-scale opportunity in Brazil. Notwithstanding various degrees of risk, surging home-grown demand is dramatically boosting the performance of the lodging industry across the region, creating an attractive environment for growth. But despite initiatives announced by the government of Brazil to make available some subsidised nancing in connection with the 2014 FIFA FIFA World Cup, the  nancing environment in South Americ a remains restricted and expensive.

Just 15% of room supply in Brazil is afliated with an international hotel brand and the country still lags with respect to the product differentiation seen in mature lodging markets. Over the medium term, Brazil will attract an increasing level of brand differentiation to serve different demographic groups, particularly the emerging middle class. While numerous hotel companies and private equity funds explore large-scale market entry/expansion strategies, there are few forerunners. Those who nd success will likely make headway in 2013. South America’s hotel transaction market is still relatively undeveloped, though it too is expected to continue to open up over the medium term. The full service hotels that transacted in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro over the past several years will help set the market in 2013 and beyond, though only a limited number of assets will come to market, due to its domination by long-term holders both domestic and intra-regional. The next largest South American growth economies, Colombia, Chile and Peru, are increasingly on the radar of intra-regional investors who are seeking to acquire hotels on a selective basis, driven by their strategy of earning greater returns in hotels than in other asset types. Argentina, Argentina, on the other other hand, hand, is sorting through economic and and political political challenges and investment decisions have been placed on hold.

Colombia is witnessing a considerable amount of development by local investors, with little direct activity from the U.S. The country’s stable ec onomy, large population, greatly improved business environment and government tax incentives have led to a considerable amount of new supply. Investors have grown more cautious about a potential temporary oversupply, oversupply, but the longer-term outlook looks bright as demand c ontinues to grow. Chile has long enjoyed macroeconomic stability, an open business environment and consequently, relatively sophisticated capital markets. Peru has also followed pro-growth policies that have resulted in the country posting the highest sustained economic growth rates in all of South America. This, together with Peru’s rich cultural heritage has increased its commercial and tourism appeal; thus hotel demand should continue its upswing in 2013. Lima has seen a lesser degree of institutional-grade hotel development. The market still lacks the depth of international hotel brands seen in other South Americ an capitals and the market will be receptive to new development.

EMEA


Highlights • Despite the economic challenges in Europe, hotel investment volumes in EMEA in 2013 are anticipated to hold up and are forecasted at roughly $11 billion. • Although the economic situation s ituation in Europe will remain complex, several indicators give cause for optimism and could lead to an improvement in investor condence in 2013. • Positive signs include the emergence of new sources of debt in the form of debt funds and alternative lenders such as insurance companies which are entering the hotel arena. The hotel investment market will also benet from a narrowing pricing gap for secondary assets between buyers and sellers. • Sellers’ pricing expectations have already become more realistic, especially in provincial U.K. and Ireland where pricess have price have been been adju adjusted sted and we expect expect oth other er Europ European ean markets to follow suit. • Operating results are also holding up comparatively well and some gateway markets are likely to see a further rise in RevPAR due to the continued growth in global travel and tourism.


Transaction activity moderated in 2012 In 2012, the hotel investment market in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) moderated as transaction volumes slowed by 10% year on year to $11 $11 billion. Investor sentiment was negatively affected by the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the sovereign debt crisis, the continuing limited availability of debt and high costs of nancing new acquisitions. Closing deals in 2012 was very difc ult. Transaction activity was concentrated on the key gateway markets in Europe that had weathered the economic headwinds surprisingly well. Highly diversied markets such as London, Paris, Amsterdam, and key German cities, posted robust trading fundamentals and witnessed aggressive pricing for quality properties in the prime locations.

Assets in secondary loc ations evoked limited interest interest due to lower growth in trading fundamentals and investors’ perception of higher risk. Investors remained uncertain of future trading in these markets, which are more heavily reliant on fragile domestic and corporate markets. Pricing for regional assets was therefore more opportunistic and a number of assets sold signicantly below their guide price. Hotels in stable secondary cities in Germany were an exception. These assets, often sold under long term leases or with vacant possession, attracted a lot attention and were predominantly sold to high net worth individuals (HNWIs) and institutional investors. The majority of transaction activity occurred in Western and Northern Europe with nearly no activit y in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). There was virtually no debt availability f or hotel acquisitions in this emerging region and the economic and political outlook in some of the countries remains uncertain. Nonetheless, Poland, one of the most stable economies in Europe, received signicant buyer interest especially for good quality product in Warsaw.

Positive signs include the emergence of new sources of debt in the form of debt funds and alternative lenders such as insurance companies which are entering the hotel arena. The hotel investment market will also benet from a narrowing pricing gap for secondary assets between buyers and sellers. Sellers’ pricing expectations have already become more realistic, especially in provincial U.K. and Ireland where prices have been adjusted and we expect other European markets to follow suit. Operating results are also holding up comparatively well and some gateway markets are likely to see a further rise in RevPAR due to the continued growth in global travel and tourism. New debt funds and insurance insur ance companies on the scene In 2013, we anticipate an improvement in the debt markets as new alternative lenders such as insurance companies and pension funds start to ll the funding gap left by the retreat of more traditional lending banks. These investors have struggled to get decent returns from government bonds and are increasing their allocation to higher yielding real estate investments. Furthermore, a number of debt funds have been raised. StarFin by Starwood Capital, for example, aims to take advantage of nancing opportunities by providing investors with debt capital to help renance existing loans. GE Capital Real Estate Europe has also targeted to build a $5 billion U.K. loan portfolio within the next four to ve years.

In addition, mezzanine lenders will help plug t he nancing gap and we have witnessed increasing activity from lenders such as Blackstone, Starwood Capital and Duet, encouraged by higher returns on their debt provisions than senior lenders. Bank lending is also predicted to improve and a few banks have reopened their credit lines in the second half of 2012. This improving picture is likely to be the rst stage in a return to more normalized debt markets, which in time will help refocus transactional activity, although these alternative sources of debt are typically more expensive than traditional banks.

Trading fundamentals to remain stable in 2013 The consensus in the investment community is that trading fundamentals in EMEA will remain stable with further growth in revenue per available room (RevPAR) expected for key gateway cities in Northern and Western Europe and the Middle East. In Europe, operating results are anticipated to remain robust in key cities such as Munich, Paris, Vienna, and Barcelona. These markets will disproportionally benet from the continued expansion of inbound tourism from BRIC c ountries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and markets in Asia and South Americ a. An exception will be hotels in London where an Olympic ‘hangover’ and a signicant increase in supply will likely result in a attening or c ontraction in RevPAR in 2013.

Hotels in Southern Europe that are more heavily reliant on domestic or corporate demand and, therefore, more dependent on their local economies, will continue to struggle in the short term. Economies in Southern Europe are forecast to remain in recessi on and Tourism Economics predicts a decline in international arrivals in this region in 2013. 2013. Some of these hotels could, therefore, very well experience a stagnation or a decline in average room rates and occupancy levels when compared to 2012.


Hotel demand had recovered impressively in the Middle East since the Arab Spring, led by hotels in Dubai which recorded high occupancy levels, with RevPAR moving towards its peak of 2008. For 2013, we expect a further improvement in trading performance in the UAE on the back of continued growth in international arrivals. Dubai, the ‘safe haven’ of the region, is expected to achieve a fur ther growth in RevPAR whereas hotels in Abu Dhabi will c ontinue to recover from an oversupply situation. Saudi Arabia will also achieve improved performance linked to new infrastructure projects dr iven by public spending policy. We anticipate performance to remain constrained in Bahrain due to the ongoing local tensions. Trading performance in North Africa will further stabilise in 2013 as tourists return to countries such as Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Tunisia. Occupancy in Cairo will further recover, although room rates are likely to remain at low levels due to very competitive market conditions. Dynamic growth in trading performance is also anticipated for sub-Saharan Africa, especially for growing tourist destinations such as Tanzania and Kenya.

Asian and Middle Eastern investors to drive cross border deals In 2012, Middle Eastern investors were one of the most active buyers of hotel real estate, acquiring assets with a total value of $1.7 billion or about 15% of total investment volumes in EMEA. In 2013, we expect Middle Eastern investors predominantly from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar to remain one of the most active buyers of European hotel real estate. These cash rich investors, primar ily HNWIs and sovereign wealth funds, will remain keen to diversif y into upscale assets in core markets and are likely to place in excess of $100 million in equity in each of a number of major deals. These investments often reect non-economic factors such as pride or prestige of ownership and are more focused on l ong term capital preservation than short term cash ow. Asian investors, although coming from a lower base, have have also been active, and we expect hotel operators and developers, particularly from Singapore and Malaysia, to continue purchasing upscale hotels in key European markets. We also anticipate Chinese investors to increase their cross-border investments into Europe as they switc h their attention from domestic investments to strategic assets in advanced economies.

In regional U.K., investment activity w ill be driven by a combination of a large amount of product being of fered for sale and a narrowing price expectation gap between buyers and sellers. Many of these properties will come from distressed situations, and for the right buyer, buyer, will deliver a healthy yield. France is likely to achieve second place in terms of investment volume in 2013. 2013. Single asset transactions will be driven by Paris, which similar to London, attracts a large number of overseas investors. investors. A combination c ombination of limited supply for sale and high demand will result in aggressive pricing. In regional France, we anticipate some activity, mainly in the budget segment, as hotel operators continue to pursue an asset light strategy. These assets, likely to be trading as part of a portfolio, will come on the radar of institutional investors seeking more stable returns and also will attract the attention of some private equity investors looking to own and operate properties in secondary markets under franchise agreements.


In Italy, we anticipate sustained hotel investment activity despite a struggling corporate and domestic tourism sector which will put pressure on trading performance. It is likely that investment activity will be driven by luxury/trophy hotels in high barr ier to entry business and leisure destinations such as Rome and Milan. While the Italian hotel investment market remains primarily in the hands of domestic buyers, we expect capital ows from the Middle East directed towards trophy assets in core markets.

In 2013, many investors will look to Germany, which is expected to offer some of the most attractive risk-adjusted returns. In addition, the hotel market benets from a buoyant tourism sector and solid economic fundamentals. Hotels are often still subject to long-term leases, which provide stable cash ows and will, therefore, continue to appeal to institutional investors such as Deka I mmobilien, Union Investment and Invesco Real Estate. A positive buy sentiment from this investor group was moreover reected in European real estate fund manager Internos’ capability of raising a sum of €75 million from four German institutional investors for its Hotel Real Estate Fund in July 2012. Hotels in key markets such as Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Berlin will also experience signicant buyer interest from private individuals and family ofces, which are aiming for long and secure investments.

In Central and Eastern Europe, we predict investment activity to be strongly correlated with the amount of debt availability. Although lending activity is expected to t o improve, it will remain challenging to nance transactions in this region and therefore hotel investment volumes could very well remain subdued. However, we can expect some activity from equity rich investors as well as opportunistic investors, although with a clear focus on prime assets. Nonetheless, we anticipate a potential uptick in hotel investment activity in Poland due to the country’s economic stability, buoyant hotel market and high yields for new hotel acquisitions relative to most mature markets. Some transaction activity is also expected in Prague, where hotels have recorded a signicant improvement in trading performance and investor interest, particularly from local private equity companies.

Southern Europe’s investor sentiment weakens In Spain, transaction activit y will likely remain weak as investors face higher risks and a deepening reces sion in 2013. We therefore expect many investors to follow a ‘wait and see’ approach and foc us on key tourist destinations with strong t rading fundamentals such as Barcelona, a high desire for entr y such as Madrid, or key seaside resort destinations. Some activity can be expected from Spanish banks, which are under growing scrutiny from the E.U. to start deleveraging and could, therefore, accelerate their plans to sell hotel loans and assets. We can also expect some activity coming from Spain’s bad bank, SAREB, which was set up in December 2012 and will t ake over toxic real estate (including hotel assets) at signicant discounts from the troubled banking sector. Assets and loans that SAREB will start of oading in the coming years will offer attractive returns and upside potential and, therefore, capture the interest of more opportunistic investors.

Tempered deal activity in the Middle East and Africa

Sub Saharan Africa: development hot spot

Similar to previous years, we expect no signicant investment activity in the Middle East and Africa as investors prefer to build rather than acquire existing hotels. The investment market in the Middle East will remain very opaque with most buyers being local development companies or HNWIs. Dubai will be an exception with evidence of some investor interest outside the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

Hotel development activity in Europe will remain restrained in 2013 in light of continued funding difculties for new projects. Exceptions are in strong markets such as London that still have a signicant amount of hotels in the development pipeline although a large number of these projects are conversions or par t of mixed use development schemes. New and popular lifestyle/boutique brands such as Motel One, Citizen M, Indigo and Aloft are also increasing their presence in core markets.

In Africa, some activity is expected in Morocco, the most mature hotel market in North Afric a. Domestic investors, primarily local funds and HNWIs, could acquire hotels in key cities such as Casablanca or Marrakesh, although will likely avoid more volatile seaside resort destinations.

In the Middle East, development activity will pace ahead with nancing often provided by public funds. The region is expected to open 150 new hotels in 2013 with the majority opening in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirate Emirates. s. Nonetheless, Nonetheless, developmen developmentt activity has has started to slow down in Dubai as the market is nearing maturity. One of the development hot spots is expected to be Sub Saharan Africa, which has politically stabilized st abilized in some regions and started to restore investor condence. Many of these emerging ec onomies, such as Ghana and Nigeria, are seeing strong economic growth due to an abundance of natural resources and the benet from growing levels of direct foreign investments from the U.S., Europe and China. We believe that these countries will offer much growth potential especially in terms of business tourism and, therefore, will attract a growing amount of international hotel operators that would like to expand into these emerging markets. Development activity will be supported by improved accessibility to nancing due to the recent creation of African hotel funds with capital provided by African and international investors. However, risks remain very high and strong relationships with local development companies and governmental institutions are critical when entering these markets.

Asia Pacic


Highlights • Asia Pacic transaction volumes are projected to record a slight uptick in 2013 to reach $3.5 billion with the lion’s share of deals in Australia and Japan. The gap between buyer and seller pricing expectations which emerged in 2012 will continue to feature in 2013. • Inter-regional capital will remain active in Asia Pacic’s hotel investment market in 2013. The successful listing of two new hotel REITs in 2012 and more planned for 2013 is likely to result in higher volumes by these groups, for whom diversication is crucial. REITs have been willing to consider assets in secondary locations to ensure overall viability. • Australia remains a target for cross-border capital with interest from Asian groups in prime hotels still exceptionally strong and selective interest from new capital sources such as the Middle East and China. • As operating companies digest an oversupply of luxury rooms in major cities in China, the mid-market will be an exciting space to watch over the next ve years. • Investment benchmarks are being established in India. The dynamics in 2013 will favour both buyers and developers with a slowdown in development activity and more opportunities to acquire. • Transaction volumes in Japan are expected to improve with trading performance returning to pre-quake levels. The market offers signicant leverage opportunities with interest rates at near zero and lenders more willing to originatee non-recourse loans. originat • Thailand has emerged as one of the region’s hotel investment hot spots with more deals expected in Phuket and Bangkok in 2013. The introduction of a new REIT law is also expected to increase liquidity in the hotel and property prop erty invest investmen mentt market market..


Volumes fall shor t Hotel trade activity slowed in 2012, reducing 30% to $3.3 billion, as investor valour gave way to opportunistic play. play. Australia dominated deal ow, whereas bank inaction in Japan and a noticeable absence of sales in Asia’s key gateways were the major contributors to lower than anticipated transaction volumes against a backdrop of investor conservatism. For 2013, Asia Pacic hotel transaction volumes are projected to reach $3.5 billion, slightly above the 2012 volume but below the short-run average of $4.1 billion. Australia and Japan will see the lion’s share of investment dollars, but with pockets of activit y across the rest of the region. Availability of stock in the key gateways and the willingness of sellers to close deals through transparent processes in emerging markets will dic tate the overall investment landscape in 2013. 2013.

Development in the region’s two most liquid hotel investment markets – Australia and Japan – continues to be held back by the cost versus value equation. Therefore, low levels of new supply will continue to be an attractive driver for global investment capital.

The gap between buyer and seller pricing expect ations, which emerged in 2012 after the strong appreciation of assets over the past four years, will also remain a feature in 2013. While the long-term fundamentals for Asia Pacic hotel markets remain strong – wealthier travelling middle class, improved connectivity, rapid urbanisation, rising education, high savings rate and lower taxes – there has been a subtle softening in trading performance across the region, tempering investor enthusiasm. With such low levels of established product available for sale, investors continue to consider development in order to achieve sufcient scale across the region. Asia remains the global hotel development hot spot with supply increases projected to average 5.5% per annum across 23 major markets over the next t wo years although commencements have slowed in India, South East Asia and China as cities suffer indigestion following signicant new hotel openings in recent years.

Intra-regional capital will remain act ive in Asia Pacic’s hotel investment market in 2013, accounting for an est imated 70% of the total transaction volume and underpinned by some large-scale deals in Australia and Japan. In order to be succ essful in the world’s growth engine, investors need to be prepared to do deals where assets are offered. In 2012, this resulted in higher transaction volumes in the Indian Ocean and Thailand, but in 2013 we also expect investment in Indochina, Indonesia and India to come to the fore. Investment will continue to be opportunistic rather than strategic, with investors targeting markets which represent value or where there is a positive growth stor y. Investors are looking at the expansion of Low Cost Carrier (LCCs) networks and where tourism infrastr ucture is being developed. These markets are the focus for t heir ags and for capital growth. However, However, with only 70 transactions occurring on average each year over the past decade, visibility of investment metric s is generally low and the extent of liquidity a concern, particularly for institutional and global capital. The exceptions are Australia and Japan. Domestic and regional capital is likely to dominate where real estate t ransparency remains opaque.

Notwithstanding, REITs are generally more risk averse as they are marked to market daily and therefore subject to changes in s entiment in accordance with the external environment. While the global economy remains under pressure, movements in the political arena, which impacted in 2012, have now been resolved with the Chinese and U.S. presidential elections both held in N ovember 2012. 2012. REITs REITs now exist in many countries acros s the region and are permitted to invest off shore in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and South Korea, and to a lesser degree in Taiwan and the Philippines. The imminent passing of REIT legislation in Thailand will also allow offshore investment. Therefore, regional REITs are likely to remain net buyers of Asia Pacic hotel real est ate over the next few years.

Proportion of Asia Pacific total total volume

We do not expect to see a major shif t in the buyer prole in 2013. Investment will continue to be dominated by the aforementioned REITs, REITs, as well as Asian family companies, owner operators and possibly the re-emergence of opportunity funds in Japan.

Diversication is a key component for REITs, limiting exposure to any one segment or geography. While such structures can be prohibitive for the acquisition of larger hotel real estate, REITs have have been willing to consider assets in secondary locations in Japan and Australia to ensure overall viability, while also being yield accretive, and given the limited number of investment opportunities available in Asia.

Pacic



Pockets of bank-driven sales As in 2012, 2012, sellers in 2013 will primarily include investment investment funds, institutions, and corporate companies who are restructuring their portfolios to free up equity to make strategic investments elsewhere. Asia Pacic hotel real estate is predominantly owned by large Asian family companies, many of whom are inter-generational investors with assets held over the very long term (30-50 years). These investors are well-capitalised. Japan, and to a lesser extent Thailand and India, are t he markets where bank action is likely to be a factor. In Japan the extent of CMBS, to be renanced in the next 12-18 12-18 months, will likely result in more asset disposals. Corporates are also selling non-core assets as debt terms on major assets come up for renewal. Having been extended in 2011, 2011, the loan moratorium act will expire in 2013. Under this act, Japanese nancial service agencies protected small and mid-sized companies who were struggling to renance corporate loans. The challenge for owners will be renancing at the 2006-07 values which are on their books. In Thailand (Bangkok) and India, trading has come under pressure from the weight of new supply. This is resulting in a greater focus on non-performing or underperforming loans, thereby motivating asset sales. On the whole, however, structured receivership sales will remain limited across the region.

In Japan, trading performance has recovered much better than anticipated in the wake of the 2011 earthquake. With interest rates at near zero and lenders more willing to originate non-rec ourse loans to hotels, the market offers signicant leverage opportunities, driving down yields and pushing prices up. Transaction evidence remains limited however with sales in 2012 primarily undertaken by Japanese corporates and REITs and with few sales in excess of $50 million. The dynamic trading environment and lack of liquidity in emerging markets also presents challenges for potential investors. Hotel valuations in China remain low with cash ows under pressure given the oversupply in many markets. Yields are also given little regard as Chinese real estate is typic ally evaluated on a cost per square meter basis and these two metrics continue to diverge. The environment in India is more positive. With a few deals completing in 2012 and the expectation of more to come in 2013, 2013, investment benchmarks are being established. This includes both trading assets and those which are in the latter stages of development, as well as land cited for hotel development. This will provide greater clarity for investors to evaluate pricing and explore opportunities through a formal process. Improved transparency and visibility of the market will also result in higher capital inows, thereby providing a free kick in terms of capital growth.

Pricing gap amps challenges

The pricing gap between buyers and sellers has widened with some sellers reticent to accept the changed outlook. Growth rates have softened, yet some markets in Southeast Asia and Australia are trading above previous peaks, making the extent to which to underwrite further growth unclear.

Australian investment pace moderates

China’s development slows

2012 provides a good barometer for the Australian hotel investment landscape in 2013. Transaction volumes are projected to reach AU$1.0 AU$1.0 billion billion,, reecting reecting a slight slight moderation moderation compared to 2012 2012 when volumes recorded the third highest annual total on record. Similarly, a number of large transactions will underpin overall volumes. However, the number of sales will rank below historic norms with low levels of liquidity in regional centres and key leisure markets.

China’s most uncertain leadership transition in decades has impacted the overall pace of hotel investment activity across China as opinion has become splintered about the direction and speed of the region’s economic powerhouse.

The incumbent government was largely inactive during the second half of the year and is expected to remain s o until March 2013 as the new government transitions into power and policies are moved forward. Whilst some developments have progressed, it has been at a lower speed than in recent years, as access to debt and equit y capital has become more c hallenging. This has enabled the private equity and real estate funds to become active again, primarily by offering preferred equity and mezzanine nancing. On the whole, foreign investment remains very subdued with limited direct hotel investment, even on a speculative basis.

Whilst Australia has had the complete foc us of many active buyer groups over the past couple of years, increasingly assets will need to compete on a global sc ale as the ‘great deleveraging’ gains pace. For now, Australia remains a target for cross-border capital with interest from Asian groups in prime hotels st ill exceptionally strong and selective interest from new capital sources like the Middle East and China. Regional REIT players will also continue to make acquisitions whilst balancing portfolios. Many offshore groups have the added bonus of relationship banking or corporate  nance, which means they are not held back by the c onservative debt facilities and lengthy approval processes, boosting buying power.

Operators are also increasingly looking to Tier 4 and 5 cities for new opportunities as they look to familiarise brand-conscious Chinese consumers with their stable of high-end hotels, even if rates are depressed and the management fees are low. Examples of Tier 4 and 5 cities where international brands have been developed include Anshan in Liaoning province and Dali in Yunnan Yunnan province.

India’s power shift

Time to address the distress in Japan

The balance of power has shifted in India’s hotel investment market with the dynamics in 2013 favouring favouring both buyers and developers with a slowdown in development activity and more opportunities to acquire. The exuberance which was evident in 2007 has also softened while demand catches up w ith supply.

The outlook for Japan’s hotel investment market has improved with trading performance in most markets back to pre-quake levels by summer 2012, 2012, driven by strong domestic c orporate and leisure demand, offsetting the continued shortfall in inbound tourism. Against this backdrop, investors investors have become more condent about operating cash ows and the big question for 2013 will be addressing the distress in Japanese hotels and how it affects the pricing gap.

Trading Trading performance declined in some Indian markets through 2012 2012 and is expected to moderate further in 2013. Sellers include the closed-end real estate funds, which were established four to ve years ago, as well as real estate investors who have expanded into hotels without a fully developed appreciation of the complexities of the sector. Sellers are more motivated but only time will tell if t hey are willing to meet the market. While the pricing appears reasonable, the rarity of transactions means that Indian hotel real estate is expensive and consequently a gap between buyer and seller expectations still exists. The buyer prole is more diverse with recent transactions completed by high net worth individuals (HNWIs) and real estate investment funds with an Indian focus. Competition is increasing with a higher level of enquiry from regional REIT players, domestic operators and local developers. Many believe that the market has reached a sufcient level of maturity and that the temporary trading lull provides a unique window to acquire. While debt is available for the right project, banks remain cautious about lending to the sector and onerous terms continue to act as a stranglehold on the sector ’s development. Any fundamental shift would therefore see liquidity increase.

Where loans in default are securitised into CMBS, special servicers have started controlling the process and bad debts will be resolved in due course. Should the junior lender portion be reduced to reect the adjustment in pricing to meet the expectation of buyers, this could represent a marked change in the investment landscape and may attract investment funds back to t he sector. In contrast, although the expiration of the loan moratorium law in March 2013 will place added pressure on Japanese commercial banks for loss realisation on corporate loans, we do not expect formal foreclosure processes to be initiated immediately and liquidation of these assets will be at a slower pace. We expect the volume of transactions in 2013 to occur outside Tokyo, for example in Sapporo or Osaka. Hotels in Tokyo will continue to be afforded a premium. Markets outside of Tokyo therefore present some interesting high yield opportunities while being more attractive than other Asian secondary markets because of the depth of liquidity which prevails. The punt for investors will therefore be on the stability of the operating cash ows.


New Thai REIT law to improve liquidity While having somewhat of a chequered past, Thailand is increasingly emerging as one of the region’s hotel investment hot spots. Transaction volumes are expected to remain robust in 2013 with more deals anticipated in Phuket and Bangkok. The imminent signing of the new REIT law is also expected to incite an increase in liquidity in the hotel and propert y investment market.

The new REIT law will supersede Thailand’s Property Fund law within 12 months of signing. It is more  exible than the existing Property Fund Law, and is based on REIT regulation in other Asian nations, notably Singapore. Property transactions are expected to increase materially once the law takes effect, although it may take a few years for the market to bec ome established. Thai REITs will also be permitted to invest overseas and capital outows are expected to increase as a result, some of which will ow into hotels.
