Hospitality & Tourism Real Estate
Feasibility and asset plans for hotels and destinations.
Required sequence
Do these in orderHospitality Feasibility Foundations
Take a hotel from demand generators to an investment case — penetration indices, the market study, operator economics, the ten-year forecast, break-even and returns, and a feasibility report a lender can act on.
Hotel Operations & Asset Management
How a hotel actually makes money and how owners protect and grow that value — the operating P&L and index measures against a competitive set, revenue management including forecasting, pace and displacement, cost and profit down to what the owner actually receives below GOP, the food and beverage, meetings and other non-rooms business, the owner-operator relationship, repositioning for value, and holding the asset through a cycle when demand falls.
Branded Residences & Mixed-Use Hospitality
The economics and structuring of branded residences and mixed-use hospitality — why brands command a premium, how deals are structured, and how to appraise them, with a Gulf and emerging-market focus.
Tourism & Leisure Destinations Studio
A studio on tourism and leisure destinations — resorts, entertainment districts and integrated giga-projects where the demand is manufactured rather than captured. You will read a destination thesis against source markets and a competitive set defined by substitution, structure the master developer, operator and public-sector relationships, sequence phasing, cross-subsidy and enabling infrastructure, size and structure the hotel component, build the visitor economy around dwell time and per-visitor spend rather than visitor numbers, and plan how the capital comes back out — with emerging-market realism across the Gulf, Egypt and the Red Sea.
Optional depth
Add these to specialise once the core sequence is done.
Financial Feasibility & Financial Modelling
Build and defend a real estate feasibility model from first principles — and know exactly where its precision stops being real. What a model is and what it cannot tell you, revenue assumptions tested against evidence rather than hope, the cost stack and where estimates go wrong, residual land value, the time value of money, how programme and finance turn time into cost, and sensitivity and risk. Ends with an applied toolkit of model, assumptions, cost and sensitivity templates and two worked cases, including re-running a scheme when costs overrun and sales slow.
Valuation Essentials
How professionals estimate market value and defend it: bases of value, measurement and the unit of comparison, the comparable, income, residual and cost approaches, hope value and planning risk, operational and specialised property where the business is the value, and how purpose changes the work — valuation for lending, for financial reporting and for disputes, with the independence, uncertainty and reporting discipline that a signed figure requires. Written with emphasis on thin-data emerging markets.
What you produce
Final project
A hotel or destination feasibility and asset plan — demand, positioning, operator logic, and returns.
