Roger Allen, RLA Global CEO contributed to the brand new book titled “Hotels and Resorts – An Investor’s Guide”. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of how hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, golf courses, spas, gyms and health clubs are developed, operate and are valued, providing an invaluable guidance to international investors, developers, asset managers and students in related subject areas.. 

Drawing on 40 years’ experience of leisure property, hospitality and wellbeing industries the authors provide invaluable guidelines for valuation of a spa and wellness facility as an integral part of a hotel or resort development and as a stand-alone entity. Value determination of a spa can be a complex process given the disparity in different types of spa facilities, categories, terminologies, business models, organizational design and management performance. The authors aim to simplify this complexity and provide clarity on how to determine the financial performance of the spa facility and its correlation to the property value.
