Featuring exclusive hotel pipeline news, a guide to key territories and insight from industry leaders, this month Hotel News ME, has launched its landmark annual publication, The Pipeline Yearbook 2016.

The 102 page Yearbook features commentary from prominent industry leaders including STR Global, Knight Frank, Colliers and Viability Management Consultants, as well insight on key markets from Iran to Africa, from Rotana Hotels, Movenpick Hotels and Resorts, Katara Hospitality, and others.

The Yearbook also details which hotels are opening in which key cities across the Middle East and Africa; data compiled exclusively by the Hotel News ME team, in direct liaison with the region’s leading hotel chains and therefore unavailable elsewhere.

Group editor Melanie Mingas, said: “With hotel inventory set to double over the coming years, this is an exciting time for the industry. Yet hoteliers and business owners in hospitality’s supporting industries felt an undeniable pinch in 2015, which was compounded by an oversupply of new properties in some markets and a resulting decline in performance metrics.

“With the aim of helping businesses navigate these uncertain times, we have compiled a comprehensive guide to 2016, covering openings, insight, commentary, and a guide to purchasing from the biggest names in services and supplies.”

The Pipeline Yearbook 2016 is distributed with January issue of Hotel News ME. To view online, click here.
