Updated News for the Hotel Industry for for the period leading up to the end of September 2022.
The analysis will be broken down into regions which have 3 approximate groupings. These are EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), APAC (Asia and Pacific region) and finally the Americas encompassing all of the Americas and the Caribbean islands. These definitions are my own and there will no doubt be discussion regarding the precise groupings. but for the moment they work for me.
EMEA
| Area | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | Total |
| Africa | 35 | 14 | 3 | 4 | 0 | 56 |
| EU | 335 | 44 | 35 | 9 | 2 | 425 |
| Europe | 140 | 24 | 12 | 6 | 0 | 182 |
| Middle East | 96 | 11 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 117 |
| Total EMEA | 606 | 93 | 54 | 23 | 4 | 780 |
The above data represents the information I have been able to collate for the region. The numbers represent the number of hotels which currently open and planned to open to the coming 4 years. Some of the data for 2022, includes a number of hotels which are scheduled to open in the final quarter of 2022.
APAC

| Asia | 256 | 48 | 30 | 41 | 24 | 399 |
| Pacific | 87 | 16 | 12 | 8 | 3 | 126 |
| Total APAC | 343 | 64 | 42 | 49 | 27 | 525 |
Americas

This data represents the information I have been able to collate from a number of sources and collated by myself. It is not complete as a lot of data is not published in a source or format I can identify and use. This is particularly so for the Asia Region.
This is the high level analysis. Following posts will deal with the individual regions and provide a breakdown of my analysis.
