Budget & Mid Market Hotels World is the meeting place for the select service hospitality industry. This is the only conference fully dedicated to exploring opportunities in the economy, budget, mid market, upper mid market and extended stay sectors..
Despite economic slowdown, the US hotel market continues to experience growth, and present great opportunities for long term real estate investors looking to diversify their real estate and hotel assets.
Business travelers and tourists are looking for more economical ways to travel. Hotel brands and operators are responding to consumer demand by launching new cost conscious brands and expanding already established cost conscious brands.
Current market conditions make it very difficult and unlikely for large deals to come to fruition. Lower entry costs and reduced risk make it easier to do business in the select service market. Small hotel deals are being completed, while larger transactions have been limited.
While other sectors in the hospitality market are hurting, deals are being completed in the select service market.
Attend Budget & Mid Market Hotels World and enhance your network in the sector of the market where deals are most likely to materialize.
