EY COVID-19 Hotel Asset-Level Demand Forecasting

HANYC invites you to join a discussion with guest speakers from EY on forecasting the impact of COVID-19 on your hotel’s top-line performance. The webinar will take place on Wednesday, October 28^th at 11am.

Demand forecasting in a post-COVID world is a highly challenging task. With many hotels facing a loss of demand from group and business travel, coupled with travel restrictions imposed on leisure travelers, the short-term outlook can be difficult to forecast. This HANYC webinar will feature members of EY’s Hospitality Advisory practice, who will share a proprietary, bottom-up approach to forecasting RevPAR in the midst of COVID-19. The model provides multiple scenarios of monthly top-line future performance and incorporates feedback from institutional owners and operators in the industry.

As part of the broader discussion, EY will provide a demonstration of their proprietary forecasting model using a real life case study for a full-service hotel located in a gateway US city. EY will overview macroeconomic, travel, and property-specific attributes considered in the model that will positively or negatively impact an individual hotel’s COVID-19 recovery curve, including those pertinent to New York City such as:

Temporary and permanent closures of lodging supply in the market
Restrictions on international travel
Reductions in corporate travel
Local regulatory restrictions and enforced traveler quarantines
Property-specific attributes related to competitive positioning, segmentation, and capital expenditures
Reduced capacity and temporary closures of major leisure demand generators (e.g., theaters, sightseeing attractions)
Temporary closure of convention center

The webinar will feature a 45-minute demonstration of the forecasting tool led by EY, followed by a Q&A session with our guest speakers. Once you register below, you’ll be taken to an approval page with a calendar link, plus a confirmation email will be sent with Zoom Webinar link details.
