Hoteliers at the CHRIS conference in Miami explored investment opportunities in the Caribbean, where several factors have led to a surge in hotel performance. Conversations at the recent Caribbean Hotel & Resort Investment Summit (CHRIS) in Miami confirmed that the region's hospitality markets are in the midst of dramatic, positive change. Hotel investment in the Caribbean is growing and expected to accelerate in the near term. The upward trend for Caribbean hotel markets is evident in substantial RevPAR growth, which has attracted interest from international investors. The U.S. market has realized year-over-year growth in hotel performance and values for half a decade and is now on the verge of a notable increase in supply. The ever more competitive U.S. marketplace has resulted in lower yields for hotel owners. By comparison, many consider the Caribbean a more fruitful, yield-rich opportunity for hotel investment.
