Introduction
Objective
Who should attend
Hotel investment analysis involves a detailed assessment of the financial performance and viability of hotel properties, using key financial metrics such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and performance ratios to guide decision-making. Understanding cost behaviour and applying costing methods like Activity-Based Costing (ABC) is essential for optimizing financial control and planning in hotel operations. Additionally, advanced techniques such as Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis and risk analysis tools enable investors and managers to forecast financial outcomes and address potential uncertainties in hotel investments.
In the Hotel Investments Analysis and Financing course, participants will apply these financial principles and tools to real-world scenarios. They will learn how to evaluate hotel investments from multiple perspectives, including those of owners, managers, and lenders, and make informed decisions on capital investments and financing. The course will also cover strategies for optimizing capital structure using methods like Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), while also exploring the implications of various financing options on the overall financial strategy.
