A bottom is likely forming, hopefully to be followed by a modest recovery. Declines from the peak were caused mainly by the dramatic fall-off in the region’s manufactured exports brought on by the worldwide recession and the drying up of cross-border financing. Like in other regions of the world, the new economic base line will be significantly below the 2007 highs.

U.S. Hotel Construction Pipeline Decelerating Rapidly http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4041117.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4041117.html Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:04:51 +0200 In Q1 2009, the US Construction Pipeline decelerated rapidly and now stands at 4,918 projects / 619,431 rooms. Compared to the Pipeline peak in Q2 2008, this is a drop of 16% by projects and 21% by rooms, a substantial fall-off for a three-quarter period. Current pipeline trends are beginning to reflect the deep recession in the economy, the banking crisis, the evaporation of mortgage lending, and serious shortfalls in lodging operating performance.

Several countries, including Japan, Taiwan and Thailand, reported negative GDP growth in Q4 2008. The blockbuster economies of China and India still expect positive GDP growth this year, however the rate of growth will be significantly slower, falling to rates not seen since earlier in the decade. LE expects the macroeconomic indicators to continue trending downward into 2010.

The Middle East's Total Pipeline has 503 projects/147,488 rooms. Africa's totals 171 projects/35,267 rooms. As in other parts of the world, the Pipelines in these regions are heavily weighted for the near-term. 50% of Europe's projects and 53% of projects in both the Middle East and Africa are already Under Construction. This is due to the rush by developers during Q4 2007 and Q1 2008 and through the fall in the Middle East to get projects in the ground before the availability of lending was further reduced.

Migration of projects up the Pipeline toward Construction has remained strong. Construction Starts in Q4 increased 14% QoQ to 19 projects/2,153 rooms. Cancellations/Postponements may be high at 23 projects/4,094 rooms, however many are larger (including two hotels greater than 500 rooms) high-end projects for which financing is not easily accessible. New Project Announcements into the Pipeline, at 40 projects/4,844 rooms, are at a five-quarter high. Most of the new announcements are in the select service segments. 2009 Latin America Construction Pipeline Report | Lodging Econometrics http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4040024.html http://www.hsyndicate.org/news/154000320/4040024.html Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:57:15 +0200 At the end of 2008, the Total Construction Pipeline for Latin America was 616 projects/107,433 rooms. Pipeline totals were down 10% by projects and 16% by rooms from the cyclical peak in Q1 2008. While the region’s Pipeline is trending down, to date the retreat is not as steep as it is in other world regions. Developers still consider it an attractive area for lodging development, particularly if they are partnered with a major hotel franchise company. • The region’s Pipeline is front-end loaded, with 55% of total projects already Under Construction. Having secured financing before the economic slowdown and global credit crisis impeded lending, these projects will most likely enter as new supply, with the rate of New Openings ramping up through 2010. 2009 Latin America Construction Pipeline Report | Lodging Econometrics (Adobe PDF Document) /file/152003696.pdf /file/152003696.pdf Thu, 19 Feb 2009 13:55:04 +0200 At the end of 2008, the Total Construction Pipeline for Latin America was 616 projects/107,433 rooms.
