𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹! Dat ik een passie heb voor onderscheidende business concepten, passende verdienmodellen en ondernemen met impact, dat is hopelijk geen verrassing💚. In de wereld om ons heen ontstaan er steeds meer mooie, sociale initiatieven. Ondernemingen die niet alleen economische, maar ook maatschappelijke en/of sociale waarde nastreven. Maar (hopelijk) wel met een goed doordachte business case 'eronder'. De ambitie van en het verhaal achter Hotel Hotspot Hutspot in 010 is zeker inspirerend.

Luxury Villa Party in Cannes, anyone? Looking forward to Marché du Film - Festival de Cannes Festival de Cannes with a mix of business, pleasure and hopefully sunshine. However, one party invite I will definitely not be RSVPing yes to is the one hosted by dunhill and Dunhill Ventures (purveyors of 'Luxury Retail Goods & Jewellery' - conveniently forgetting to mention the fags). Unbelievably and crassly, they've decided to host it at Villa Oxygene. I watched my dad die the most horrible death trying to breath after a lifetime of smoking, having started when it was marketed as cool and good for you. As will have millions of others. So, yes this is an emotional post. No doubt the inheritors of the presumably massive dunhill fortune make themselves feel somewhat better by now investing in 'good things'. Good for them, I'm sure they're all lovely, well meaning people and hopefully they're investing in the right places. But it would all be so much more authentic and would go in some small way to honor the lives ruined by fags if they had the courage and humility to own the source of their wealth. Sidebar: The Dunhill Medical Trust report this in their 2021 investment policy document - spot the misdirections and helpless laggardly behaviour: "Our name is often mistakenly associated with the tobacco industry, which is a clear conflict with our charitable aims in medical research and healthcare. While our founder was a member of the Dunhill family which founded the eponymous luxury goods brand which included sales of tobacco products, the original endowment was a personal bequest from Herbert Dunhill’s estate and not in the form of a donation or legacy from the family business....That bequest has been invested in a range of collective funds in the global investment markets ever since and no direct investments in tobacco have been made. The Board has now taken the decision to avoid investment in tobacco1 using the definition supplied by the Joint Protocol of Cancer Research UK and Universities UK on Tobacco Industry Funding to Universities. The investment portfolio as at November 2021 contained no holdings in tobacco stocks either directly or indirectly" https://lnkd.in/e-UE3MME

Brand identity is the first step to ensuring that a quality product is perceived as it deserves to be. Here's a great example!

Impasse in the hotel investment market, but not in the segment of owner-operated hotels. A market analysis of CBRE showed that 2023 faced a tremendous decline in hotel investment volume in the Netherlands. The popular hospitality industry which has recovered rapidly from the pandemic was no exception: the hotel investment volume dropped from €414M in 2022 to €241M in 2023. That is almost a 50% drop. The drop of investment volume is mainly caused by the rising inflation and interest rate and the strong depreciation in the real estate industry. The decline in hotel industry is even more remarkable when you look to the breakdown of the transactions: 💎 Inntell Rotterdam (€125M) took 50% of the investment volume in 2023 for its accounts. 💎 Two transactions (Motel One Rotterdam by M&G, €25M and Ibis Styles Hotel by Corum, €51M) were signed in 2019 but the transfer took place in 2023. 💎 If you elimnate these three transactions the investment volume in 2023 has only a paltry size of €40M. The stand still of the hotel transaction market is not only the result of rising interest rate and devaluation of the hotel assets. The conservative view of the buyer seems to be the main cause of the impasse. Since the pandemic the institutional buyers are more cautious about the risks of the hotel operations, beside the regular economic and market risks. The buyers are paying a lower multiplier for the hotel assets with longterm lease. On the other hand the (insitutional) owners of hotel assets believe the hotel market will come back stronger from the crises and do not accept a price discount. There is no reason to take the lost now. The gap between valuation and prijs expectation lead to the current impasse. I am lucky that we are serving and participating in a market segment of owner-operated hotels. In stead of the impasse we closed in 2023 the most hotel deals of last decade. The negative sentiment around hotel investment is not entirely justified. #hotelsinamsterdam #hotelsinNL #hotelinvestment #Inntelhotels #mainporthotel #annexum #MG #MotelOneRotterdam #Corum #CBRE
