 After an extended drought, hotel deals are back in the spotlight as the key indicators of hospitality health—RevPar, ADRs and occupancy rates—are registering solid gains.  But is this trend sustainable or is it just a blip on the hospitality horizon? 

Get the answer to this and all your hospitality investment questions at iGlobal Forum’s Global Hospitality & Lodging Investment Summit 2011, due to take place on Wednesday, November 9th, 2011 in New York City!  This intensive, interactive one-day event will provide a snapshot of the current health and future outlook for the global hospitality industry.  Through a series of high level panel discussions, the Summit will examine emerging trends and opportunities along with the costs, benefits, risks and rewards of hospitality investments now and into the foreseeable future. 
The event will cover the entire hospitality spectrum—from upper-upscale and luxury to economy, full-service to self-service and all points in between.  Leading experts will compare valuations in urban, suburban and resort settings and explore new opportunities in emerging markets, green hotels and multi-use developments.  Which sectors hold the greatest potential?  Where should you place your bets?
Most importantly, attendees will find out who is doing deals, how deals are structured, and how to access funds across the entire capital markets spectrum. Speakers will discuss availability of both traditional and alternative sources of financing including private equity and debt, REITs and CMBS for new construction, acquisition and refinancing.
