HVS Publishes Updated Canadian Lodging Outlook

HVS in Canada is well recognized for our comprehensive feasibility studies, easy-to-understand hotel appraisals, strata-title hotel appraisals, assistance with management and franchise negotiations, and selective asset management. As our professionals hold both the AACI and the MAI (member of the Appraisal Institute in the United States) designations, we can work for clients (and our reports are accepted) on both sides of the border.

Our latest publication is the Canadian Lodging Outlook, published in conjunction with STR (Smith Travel Research) and endorsed by the Hotel Association of Canada. This publication summarizes monthly occupancy and average room rates from all of the major cities in Canada, as well as for each province and the country as a whole. We have over 700 hotels with an excess of 145,000 rooms participating in the survey. We will be sharing this information with you monthly, and hope you enjoy it.
