Briefing: the potential for European growth

With the slow recovery from the global economic crisis in Europe and the growth in markets in the Middle East and Asia, it is likely that European countries and cities will struggle for some time.

What Europe does have on its side is maturity and some don’t believe the doom and gloom sentiment. The secure markets of London and Paris will always remain but picking further opportunities will be a bit more of a challenge.

Experts this week discuss the difficult task for the European continent and what needs to be done to get back to pre-2007 stability. Comments this week include from:

  • Rob Seabrook, Head of Hotel Transactions for Savills on the uncertainty seen in Europe
  • Nick van Marken, Partner & Global Head for Travel, Hospitality & Leisure for Deloitte on reasons to be optimistic about Europe
  • Patrick Sanville, Director of Hotels for BNP Paribas Real Estate on the continued growth of London and Paris
  • And Thomas Page, UK Head of Hotels & Leisure for CMS on provincial rates struggling in Europe

Briefing: Europe needs to demonstrate growth to attract investment

With the green shoots of growth being seen across the European market, many believe we are seeing early optimism for not only the hospitality sector but all industry. However, with increasing influence of alternative markets, like China and Brazil, the EU needs to showcase itself as a great place too for capital investment.

As a mature market it has many strengths and we have seen a resurgence in deal making. The long-term prospects of hospitality are paramount, but with the incessant need for short-term returns, is Europe going to be able to show strong enough growth for investors to persevere? In this briefing we hear from:

  • Arthur de Haast, Chairman – Hotels & Hospitality Group for Jones Lang LaSalle on confidence being seen in the market.
  • Josh Wyatt, Partner – Hospitality & Leisure at Patron Capital Advisors LLP on whether Europe is the most exciting place for investment.
  • Richard Candey, Senior Director – Head of Hospitality for DTZ on the resurgence in deal making across Europe
  • And Andrew Taylor, National Head of Leisure for NatWest on London being a very different market to anywhere else in Europe.
