Independent Hotels Thriving in Secondary Markets, Strong YoY Growth in Demand and ADR

Tourism is a key driver for local economies, bringing in visitor dollars and supporting jobs. For smaller, secondary markets that are traditionally overlooked, recent increases in tourism have helped create healthy opportunities for independent hotels to thrive. With more travelers, especially younger generations, opting for off-the-beaten path destinations (https://info.advertising.expedia.com/travel-and-tourism-trends-for-american-travelers) and unique and memorable experiences, independent hotels have an opportunity to capitalize on the growing interest in these second-tier markets.

2019 Canadian Hotel Lending Survey

Supported by the persistence of generally favourable economic conditions, the Canadian lodging market sustained a marked improvement in 2018, as evidenced by a record-breaking RevPAR performance. Interest in hotel development has been steadily increasing in recent years. While demand has remained strong for core markets with high barriers to entry, such as Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal, lenders continue to look for opportunities in select secondary and tertiary markets with promising outlooks. Supported by the strong performance fundamentals, the financing environment in the hotel sector is currently favourable. As a result, many financial institutions that were not active in the hotel sector in the past are now looking for opportunities to enter the sector, especially in markets with high demand.
