                                                           Jordanian markets
                                                           2019 looks to be a watershed moment for tourism in
                                                           Jordan. Petra, a key attraction in Jordan, is expected to
                                                           receive a record number of visitors in 2019.

                                                           The recent entry of carriers, such as Ryanair, easyJet

                                                           (Aqaba) are providing a boost to tourism in the Kingdom
                                                           of Jordan.

Alphabet enters the OTA metasearch market
with Google Hotels
Alphabet has released its latest product addressing the
hospitality industry with the roll out of the Google
Hotels. The platform provides multiple price points akin
to established metasearch engines such as Trivago.

From a hotelier’s perspective, this may increase the
portion of direct bookings a property receives. However,
the hotels are more exposed to location and price
shopping behavior by guests.

                                                           Reflagged and Under Renovation
                                                           As the MENA hotel supply matures, the market has
                                                           witnessed an increased rate of reflagging and
                                                           renovation of properties.

                                                           Examples of this trend include both Voco Dubai and
                                                           Hyatt Regency Kuwait, which reopened in Q1 2019
                                                           after their recent rebranding. In addition, Radisson Blu
                                                           Hotel Abu Dhabi and Radisson Blu Al Ain, joined the
                                                           portfolio of the Radisson Hotel Group in Q1 2019 and
                                                           are closed for renovation.

More lifestyle brands to enter the KSA market
Lifestyle brands, such as Canopy by Hilton and Voco by
IHG, have announced their entry to the KSA market.

These brands aim to capture the growing millennial
demographic, which is expected to become the largest
source of hotel demand globally in the next decade.
Lifestyle brands offer a fresh perspective on the hotel
experience, avoiding many of the stereotypes
associated with traditional hotel concepts.
