* impact on arrivals relative to counterfactual

  • Assumed 8-month restriction period will reduce European travel by ~37% on top of other economic effects (eg reduced incomes)
  • 6-monthduration would bring smaller annual impact.
  • Longer duration of any restrictions will have larger impacts on travel

Policy stimulus is providing vital support for economic (& travel) recovery

China recovery lessons

Might be applicable as we look forward to recovery across the rest of the world

  • Most closed hotels re-opened in 2 months - but some still closed
  • First phase demand drivers have been
    • domestic leisure
    • corporate business at industrial park area
    • quarantined guests stay at hotels close to airport
  • Lower scale hotels gained higher occupancy first
  • Tangible factors/indicators of hygiene will matter
  • Will recovery continue or will it flatten?

What are the factors that can impact the forecast

Let's consider the three demand types of Leisure, Corporate Transient, and Corporate Group

Faster

Quicker recovery scenarios

Slower recovery scenarios

Pent-up demand drives summer rebound

Virus persists/resurfaces in Autumn/2021

Leisure

Domestic-led

Boarders remain closed/restricted

Travellers who are immune

Recovery dependant on vaccine available

Corporate

Sharp economic rebound

Prolonged recession

So what's a W shaped recovery

An initial recovery, followed by stagnation/decline until virus cured/controlled then recovery

Source: STR. 2020 © CoStar Realty Information, Inc.

Conclusions

  1. China seems to be at the end of the beginning of its recovery
    • Occupancies near/heading towards half of what they would usually be
    • Driven by domestic demand of both leisure (first) then business
    • Time will tell if the recovery continues or flattens out

2. Europe's recovery has not yet begun

    • Occupancies have bottomed out but hotels still closing
    • Some planning of easing lock-downs but still seems some way off for hotels
    • Restrictions on travel and hotels likely to remain in place longer… and borders even longer
  1. Everything will be OK in the end… it's not OK yet… so it's not the end
    • Most forecasts are still for a bounce-back… even if there is a drag
    • It matters more now than ever to have good hotels with strong brands and management teams

Summary

  • So far - a severe demand problem
    • Ability and willingness to spend may yet be upheld
    • Cancellation patterns indicated by OTB data shows negative expectations only short-term so far, passive attitude medium-term
  • The million-dollar question: How long will this last?
    • When does a short-term shock turn into a long-term recession?
    • So far, very few bankruptcies in the hotel sector in Sweden
    • The fiscal measures of unprecedented dimensions may be added to even more
    • Will the aftermath of the crisis have a long-term effect on international travel?
  • For the medium to long term we may still see a positive development
    • Hotels still open may get much welcomed boost from other hotels closing down
    • Exchange rate effects may prove positive to Sweden, Norway and Iceland if international travel resumes
    • Broad spread of staycation concept may be the single most important factor to hope for in most Nordic countries
