Choose the right perspective
Match the person's company to yours, since a global hotel brand, a hotel owner or real estate investment trust and a luxury management company face different revenue, asset and financing questions. Also look at how long each person has worked in hospitality finance, because some came up inside hotel companies while others joined from accounting firms or other industries.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you forecast room revenue and set budgets when travel demand shifts quickly?
- 02How do you decide which renovations, new properties or acquisitions deserve capital?
- 03What reporting do owners, lenders and investors expect from a hotel company's finance team?
