HVS has released the results of its Hotel Management Contract Survey. The survey collates and compares the key terms and clauses of management contracts across the USA, Europe and the Asia Pacific region and offers a truly global perspective on the structure of management contracts. The survey sample set comprises 236 contracts representing 57,055 hotel rooms, and 38 branded hotel companies (in addition to a few independent operators and several third-party management companies). The full 35-page report (approx.) offers an insight into six principal sections of a management contract, which are recognised to be critical areas for owner-operator negotiations. Commenting on the report, HVS’s founder, Steve Rushmore, said, “We believe that it will enable hotel owners across the globe to understand management contracts better, in addition to being a credible reference document that presents and distinguishes the key terms and clauses of management contracts across three major regions of the world.” To download excerpts of the report, please click here. Visit the HVS Bookstore to purchase the full HVS Hotel Management Contract Survey Report (available both in PDF and in Print) for US$2,000.

Over the years, land and building costs in Singapore have increased beyond affordable for many boutique hotels. Hotel yields are compressed making it hard to justify the investment at a time when interest rates look to be rising and competition increasing. Boutique hotels have less economies of scale compared to large branded hotels, and such new business environment means cost pressures and competition will increase. Loh Lik Peng, CEO of Unlisted Collection highlights the importance of embracing change and looking at the traditional strengths in marketing and public relations, agility and flexibility in order for boutique hotels to progress. Boutique hotels also need to continue to be interesting and relevant.

In coming years, Suvarnabhumi Airport is planned to expand its existing facility. Airport of Thailand (AoT) is working on a 24 billion baht (US$752.3 million) proposal for the new terminal and monorail system that will give Suvarnabhumi the ability to handle 20 million more passengers a year, to be submitted to the Thai cabinet by end-2014. The completion of the project is expected to be by 2018. The expansion was aimed at increasing the international airport’s capacity from the existing 45 million annually to 60 million by 2017, especially with ASEAN economic integration expected to happen in 2015.
