Hotel Market Day 2015

Theme 2015: The Macro Economic and Political Factors Driving the Hotel Industry.

Pandox was founded in 1995, now twenty years ago. It was a difficult time for the Swedish economy still burdened by a severe financial crisis. Banks and real estate companies suffered from bad loans and falling property values, and hotel companies and owners faced weak economic conditions.

From inception, Pandox has grown considerably in terms of property portfolio size and market reach. In these years, the hotel industry has also undergone large changes. From being local, stagnant and fragmented it has become a global, growing and increasingly innovative industry attracting new types of investors. Business models, branding and distribution channels have also changed profoundly over this period.

From a strategic point of view it is essential to understand change and the reasons for it. Pandox Hotel Market Day 2015 is focused around two key questions:

To which extent are the historical changes in the hotel industry a result of macro economic and political factors?
What are the coming macro economic and political factors and how will they drive and shape the future of the hotel industry?
