The post-COVID ramp-up of the hospitality industry will likely be a slow process but leisure destinations already saw an increase in hotel occupancy in recent weeks and business travel will also pick up in the longer term, participants heard at the DD Talks Real Estate Days Webinar on 1-2 July.

RLA Global CEO Roger Allen moderated a panel discussion on commercial real estate at the webinar, where speakers discussed pressing issues and questions related to the continued uncertainties affecting the hotel, office, retail and logistics asset classes. 

Participants weighed in on the pressing issues and questions related to the potential recovery trends in these market segments.  The below video is a sneak preview of the recording:
