Having worked in the hotel industry, I've seen firsthand how the largest Spanish hotel chains have transformed. The statistics are compelling. In 2013, these companies managed 357,806 rooms. By 2023, this number had risen to 453,960, encompassing rooms under ownership, management, rental, or franchise agreements. The most significant growth spurt occurred between 2020 and 2021, with an addition of 13,314 rooms. This growth is a testament to the robust and adaptable business models that Spanish hotel chains have developed, which continue to draw global interest and investment. Stronger than ever Spanish Brands are on the top of the tourism industry.

Save the date.

Quintana Roo in the Riviera Maya added 33K new hotel rooms after the pandemic, or 33% of the existing inventory. Airbnb units more than doubled during the same period and now account for 22% of total accommodation, a lot higher than the 14% share in the US. The problem is that the market is not absorbing this increase, and occupancy is dropping quickly across the board. This will put a lot of pressure on rates moving forward, especially when competing destinations such as Guatemala, Salvador, Dominican Republic, and Panama start to emerge. #hotelinvestment #hoteldevelopment #hotelconstruction
