What a difference a year can make! The outlook for emerging markets in Latin America has deteriorated significantly from 2014 to 2015. Worsening terms of trade for the various commodities that undergird the economies of most countries in the region, combined with seemingly intractable structural impediments to important political and economic reforms, have resulted in waning investor interest in the region. This situation has resulted in material capital outflow in a ‘flight to safety’ that has devastated local currency values vis-à-vis the US Dollar (USD). The impact of these developments has been felt in the region’s various lodging markets, as most have sustained declines in revenue per available room (RevPAR) over the past year. Moreover, the weakened economic outlook is expected to persist into 2016, with virtually every country in the region revising economic growth expectations downward. Within this generally lackluster outlook, however, there are a number of important factors that provide substantial cause for optimism. JLL’s research covering trends in key South American lodging markets indicate the following positive factors are broadly shared by the countries of the region: Macroeconomic environment – The general consensus is that macroeconomic probity has left most countries in the region better positioned to deal with the downturn than they were in last emerging market crises of the late 1990s. As a result, significant capital flight and economic meltdowns are not anticipated. Exports – Currency devaluations have increased the competitiveness of regional exports, particularly in the nontraditional manufacturing and industrial sectors. This is expected to stimulate employment and business travel in those sectors. Tourism – Similarly, business and leisure destinations in Latin America have become more attractive to international tourists. A brighter outlook for strategic source markets in the United States and Europe, combined with lingering safety concerns surrounding alternative destinations in North Africa and the Middle East, contribute further to the appeal of regional tourism markets. Increased international tourism, which is considered an export, will serve to boost the region’s overall gross domestic product. Lastly, domestic tourism is increasing rapidly, as travel abroad has become prohibitively expensive for many citizens due to the devaluation of their local currencies. Investment – Many investors, particularly in Brazil, have remained on the sidelines in recent years, waiting out what some perceived to be a real estate pricing bubble. As prices have decreased in both real and foreign exchange (FX)-driven terms, however, private equity firms, family offices and strategic corporate buyers are quietly surveying the market for more attractively priced deals. “Domestic tourism is increasing rapidly, as travel abroad has become prohibitively expensive for many.” Clay Dickinson Managing Director Latin America JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group Demand – In a reflection of the aforementioned factors, growth in lodging demand continues to be robust in most of the strategic markets surveyed. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) decreases were caused in large part by FX-driven decreases in US dollar-based average daily rates (ADR). Performance fundamentals have remained strong in most markets, as can be observed in our Hotel Destinations South America 2015 Report. Further reforms – Notwithstanding the significant political and economic reforms that were implemented in a few select countries, the commodities-led boom of the last decade enabled other countries to spend freely and dodge the more painful reforms that continue to deter investment and economic growth. The current economic pain is causing some of these countries to reassess such intransigence. The economic downturn that started in late 2014 and continued into 2015 is now projected to last through 2016. Moreover, a return to the high growth rates experienced during the last decade is not expected for the foreseeable future. However, most countries in the region are now much better positioned to weather this economic storm than they would have been ten years ago. The amount of foreign direct investment and infrastructure improvements, coupled with the expansion of the region’s middle class, have allowed for growth in the tourism sector both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, the influx of international and diversified branded lodging product in the region has not only vastly improved regional service levels and processes used in the hospitality industry, but also stimulated job creation in the tourism industry. As a result, there are a number of silver linings in the region’s otherwise stormy outlook. 05 06 Hotel Destinations South America Bogotá Bogotá is the major gateway to South America and a key hub for the Latin America region. With its generally improving economy and security environment, the bustling city boasts a rapidly growing international visitor base, derived primarily from the corporate demand segment. According to Latin Trade, Bogotá accounts for around 25.0% of the nation’s gross domestic product (US $70.3 billion) and is home to over 60.0% of its companies, housing major offices and headquarters of prominent regional and global businesses. While Bogotá’s culture and heritage has been preserved in certain areas of the city, there has also been an explosion of modern urban development and renewal over the last decade, especially with the construction of new high-rise office buildings, hotels and mixed-use developments in the northern areas of the greater metropolitan area. HIGHLIGHTS Tourism Demand Supply Outlook Bogotá’s visitation levels for both business and leisure travel could stand to benefit from increased destination marketing and reduced costs of air travel. Although infrastructure and connectivity have significantly improved over the past two years with the arrival of numerous legacy carriers and recent airport expansion, lodging operators and tourism officials continue to stress the importance of route development in Bogotá in order to reduce the cost of travel and maintain Bogotá’s positioning as a gateway city to the Americas. Demand is primarily corporate and government-related, as evidenced by peak occupancy levels (in the 85.0% - 95.0% range) observed during the weekdays and low occupancy levels (in the 30.0% - 40.0% range) during the weekends. However, certain submarkets within the city, such as La Candelaria, receive some leisure-oriented demand given the historic nature of the area. After several years of relatively rapid growth, the supply pipeline in Bogotá is expected to moderate somewhat over the next three years, with approximately ±900 rooms being added to its inventory, according to STR. Transportation challenges and zoning laws have resulted in insular lodging submarkets in Bogotá, with each retaining idiosyncratic supply, demand and performance characteristics. Bogotá’s travel and tourism industry has improved significantly over the past decade and its future progress is dependent on the city’s continued push to reposition itself as a world-class and safe, worldclass destination. While businessrelated travel is likely to continue to dominate lodging demand, leisure demand should continue to grow as the city’s historical, cultural and gastronomical assets are developed.

Famous for its Europeaninfluenced architecture and atmosphere, the city offers extensive cultural- and entertainment-related demand generators such as high-end boutique shopping corridors and charming dining meccas. Cosmopolitan and multifaceted, the capital of Argentina is very well equipped for hosting conventions and trade shows of all kinds, situating itself among the most attractive international locations for congress and conventions, as evidenced by its consistent, number one ranking as the preferred destination in the Americas for meetings and conventions. HIGHLIGHTS Tourism Demand Supply Outlook International visitor arrivals to Argentina reached 5.93 million in 2014, a 13.1% improvement over 2013. Over the past five years, international visitor arrivals to Argentina have sustained a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. Approximately 42% of all international travelers to the country arrive in Buenos Aires. Leisure visitation accounts for roughly half of international travel to Buenos Aires, while business travel contributes only 20%. Brazil remains the biggest source market to Buenos Aires, accounting for about 30% of arrivals, followed by USA/Canada with 10.6% and Chile with 9.6%, according to government data. Buenos Aires is one of the few capital cities in South America that features a more established base of business, leisure, and group demand. Buenos Aires is home to some of South America’s highest quality hotel supply in terms of the number of upper-tier, internationally branded properties. The major hotel developments that have occurred over the past ten years have primarily been four- and five-star hotels. While the market is wellserved in terms of luxury and upper upscale properties, the market has a limited representation of high-quality, branded select service hotels both in downtown Buenos Aires and the surrounding areas. While the Hotel sector continues to experience difficulties due to the impact of lackluster economic growth and high inflation on profit margins, the outlook is one of guarded optimism. The prospects for 2015 signal stable to moderately improved performance leading up to the presidential elections at the end of the year. The outlook for 2016 could vary, but market research indicates a generally optimistic sentiment that either party election winner is expected to adopt a more favorable stance with respect to investments.

YTD 2014 (USD) 08 Hotel Destinations South America Lima Lima, Perú’s capital city, is strategically located along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Lima is the country’s most prominent historical, cultural and commercial center, boasting more than 9 million inhabitants. Key tourist attractions include the old historic city, dotted with Spanish colonial churches, monasteries, and government palaces. Until recently, the city was often viewed as the unavoidable stopover point for visitors to Cuzco and the legendary Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. In recent years, however, Perú’s macroeconomic stability and growth has positioned Lima as an increasingly attractive destination for business, leisure and group segments, which has afforded the city one of the least seasonal bases of demand in South America. Lima’s growing reputation as a gastronomical hot spot draws an ever increasing number of international tourists, while its strategic location and improvements to its airline and port infrastructure further contribute to its appeal as a major regional transportation hub. HIGHLIGHTS Tourism Demand Supply Outlook International visitor arrivals to Perú reached an all-time high during 2014 at 3.2 million, a 1.6% improvement relative to 2013. Over the past five years, international visitation levels in Perú have grown at an impressive compounded average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The majority of international tourist arrivals in Perú specify Lima as their primary destination in the country. With total international arrivals amounting to 1.9 million in 2014, Lima continues to promote route development in order to support higher tourist volume and traffic. Chile and the United States remain the dominant source markets for the country, contributing 23.7% and 13.4% respectively to total tourist arrivals. Among Perú’s top ten source markets in 2014, Bolivia, Colombia and Spain were the fastest growing markets, registering year-over-year growth rates of 17%, 11% and 8%, respectively. Over the past few years, the arrival of new grouporiented hotels, coupled with an improvement in overall connectivity from major source markets, have fueled the growth of group demand in Lima. The majority of lodging supply in Lima can be characterized as unbranded, while supply considered to be of international standard remains fairly limited. However, there are more than 1,700 rooms (mostly branded) slated to enter the market over the next three to five years. Only one hotel opened in Lima City throughout 2015, the Wyndham Costa del Sol (144 rooms). Over the past several years, demand growth has significantly outpaced supply and, as a result, market-wide hotel performance has remained strong. Similar to other emerging markets, Perú is is expected to soon face challenging economic conditions. Nonetheless, the outlook for Lima’s lodging industry is expected to remain stable, with marginal improvements to market-wide occupancy supported by the city’s varied demand mix. The construction of Lima’s new convention center is anticipated to draw and bolster demand within the MICE segment in the near term.

The country’s steady economic growth during last decade has transformed Santiago into one of strongest financial and trade centers in all of South America. Santiago offers a range of tourist attractions; the city’s mountainous terrain and presence of snow-capped mountain ranges, coupled with the cultural and historic attractions, allows for a diverse tourism product offering. The city center is always a gathering point for visitors, with its iconic historic buildings and museums, and the bohemian neighborhoods of Bella Vista and Lastarria provide a pedestrian-friendly corridor of distinguished restaurants, art galleries, and boutiques. The city is also home to some of the region’s most unique tourist attractions, including wineries located along the valleys surrounding Santiago, ski resorts atop the Andes and beaches of Valparaiso and Viña del Mar. HIGHLIGHTS Tourism Demand Supply Outlook International visitor arrivals to Chile reached 3.7 million in 2014, a 2.7% improvement over 2013. Over the past five years, international visitor arrivals to Chile have recorded a compounded average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The majority of international travelers arrive to Santiago, the main port of entry in this country. Santiago attracts many foreign tourists due to its cultural attractions, natural scenery and widespread gastronomical options. The majority of tourists come from other South American countries, especially Brazil and Argentina, but but demand is growing from distant countries such as United States and Germany. In addition to leisure tourism, corporate demand in Santiago is very prominent, as the city features a concentration of headquarters for prominent Chilean companies. Santiago has a relatively diverse and well-developed hotel supply compared to other South American cities, largely because the comparative availability of financing for hotel development in the city has enabled its supply to keep pace with demand increases over the last decade. Santiago’s lodging market contains approximately 8,500 rooms with diverse positioning, and many international chains have arrived to the city in the past decade. Reduced investment in the mining sector, one of Chile’s major economic sectors, has negatively impacted the growth in overall corporate demand. This factor, coupled with the contraction in overall leisure tourism from neighboring economically challenged countries such as Brazil and Argentina are expected to impact Santiago’s lodging market. Lastly, the robust growth in supply is anticipated to impact occupancy in 2015 before recovering in 2016.

As the main business and financial center in Brazil, São Paulo is home to some of the most prominent international companies and high-end office towers in the country, many of which are located in the Faria Lima and Berrini regions. Moreover, São Paulo hosts over 90,000 events, making it one of the preferred and top-ranked meetings and events destinations worldwide. The city offers extensive shopping, entertainment and dining experiences, which combined with recent investments in infrastructure such as airports, metro systems and event spaces should maintain São Paulo’s status as the primary choice for events and business in Brazil. HIGHLIGHTS Tourism Demand Supply Outlook The airports operate at near maximum capacity with a total passenger volume of 57.3 million for both airports in 2014, an 8% increase from 2013. Global events such as the 2014 World Cup have sparked visitor interest and helped cast a positive light on this city’s tourism offerings from an international perspective. The majority of the tourists in 2014 originated from South America due to the World Cup. Overall, 52% of hotel demand in São Paulo is corporate, followed by group (20%), leisure (12%) and and other demand segments (16%). Normally around 15% of demand is international, with the United States being the major generator, followed by Germany and Argentina. However in 2014, the international demand increased to 35%, due to the World Cup, with South American visitors representing the majority. After a significant volume of new openings in the early 2000s, virtually no new supply has entered the São Paulo market in recent years. In 2014, there were many conversions but no new openings. Between 2015 and 2019, the lodging supply pipeline is estimated at 4,200 rooms, most of which are expected to be affiliated with international brands. The market’s luxury segment will undergo a notable supply expansion, with Rosewood and Four Seasons hotels under construction, as well as two other planned luxury hotel projects. Despite the economic downturn, the São Paulo market has been less affected due to its strong economic base and diversity of hotel demand sources. Occupancy levels have remained stable in the 65% to 67% range. Given the currency devaluation against the USD, ADR levels are registering a more dramatic negative impact year-to-date (-32%); however, when viewed in local currency terms, ADRs only decreased 12% YTD July 2015 compared to the same period prior year. That said, the addition of internationally-recognized luxury brands should help bolster city-wide ADR levels in the near future.

RevPAR levels in USD terms show notable declines year-to-date, primarily due to the impact of the local currency devaluation against the USD in some of these South American cities. In local currency terms, however, the impact on ADR is less pronounced and sustained demand growth should be able to aid in a faster RevPAR recovery. REVPAR YTD JULY 2015 V.
