    We were delighted to attend the International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF) in Berlin, where nearly 3,000 industry colleagues gathered. This key industry event brings together the world’s leading hospitality investors, operators, and consultants to exchange insights and network over three days. Key industry takeaways from the event: ➡️ Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Belfast remain key targets for hotel investors, with several assets currently in play. Notably, Dalata Hotel Group is undergoing a strategic review, generating significant interest. ➡️ Ireland's minimum wage increase in January, along with the imminent pension auto-enrolment, continues to impact the hospitality sector. As a result, the industry is preparing for some turbulence in the year ahead, but Ireland's hospitality and tourism sector remains resilient and prepared. ➡️ Labour cost growth in Europe slowed in 2024, with GOPPAR increasing by over 7% year-on-year (5.69% YoY in the UK). However, UK NICs and other rising labour costs are set to make 2025 a more challenging year for the UK market. ➡️ Innovation, sustainability, food waste reduction, robotics, and CSRD Omnibus changes are top priorities for hospitality executives - on top of their core focus on running hotels and delivering exceptional guest experiences. We were delighted to participate in the event programme, which included the relaunch of the impressive Radisson Collection Hotel Berlin and various investor and stakeholder receptions across the city.

  • 🌱 Sustainability is no longer optional — it's quantifiable. A new report from Horwath HTL and FuturePlus explores how ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices are reshaping the hospitality industry — not just ethically, but financially. The findings are clear: ✅ ESG initiatives reduce operational costs ✅ Improve asset resilience and value ✅ And are increasingly influencing investor decisions In fact, 53% of hospitality investors now consider ESG due diligence critical, with many willing to pay a premium for hotels on a verified Net Zero Carbon pathway. But while the business case is stronger than ever, the challenge lies in measurement. This report highlights how data-driven ESG frameworks — like those developed by FuturePlus — allow hotels to benchmark progress, align ambitions, and translate sustainability into strategic business value. 🔍 From energy efficiency and social impact to governance and valuation, this collaboration offers a roadmap for how hospitality businesses can turn ESG from an abstract goal into concrete performance. 📰 Read the full article #HospitalityInsights #ESG #Sustainability #HotelInvestment #HorwathHTL #FuturePlus #DataDrivenDecisions #HospitalityLeadership #SustainableDevelopment #NetZero https://bit.ly/4ljwwez

    I look forward to attending the International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF) in Berlin next week. But even more excited to work alongside Horwath HTL to help drive sustainability in hospitality. In advance of next week's conference, Philip Bacon, MRICS, FCA, and I looked into the ROI of ESG in Hospitality and Sustainability as a Competitive Advantage. The full article is linked in the comments, but some highlights below 👇 Sustainability in hospitality is no longer a “nice-to-have”, it's a business imperative. The most successful hotels and resorts today are proving that ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies drive actual financial returns. 🔹 Profitability – Energy efficiency upgrades can cut operational costs by up to 30%, directly improving margins. 🔹 Asset Value – ESG-certified properties attract higher valuations and stronger investor demand. 🔹 Investment Appeal – 55% of investors are willing to pay a premium for hotels on a Net Zero Carbon 2050 pathway. With data-driven insights, hospitality businesses can benchmark performance, align ESG goals with financial strategy, and make informed decisions that enhance sustainability and profitability. Read more about how ESG transforms the hospitality industry and why it’s time to move beyond compliance to real impact.
