As resorts continue to grow in popularity, with guests and investors alike, providing the opportunity for a spacious and isolated retreat, we review some of the In Focus conversations with operators, owners, advisors and investors who are active in the sector and share their opinions on what’s next for Resorts & Residential.

Our thanks to the following for their conversations which have included discussions on the blur between hospitality and residential, the complications and risk of seasonality, reliance (or the diminishing reliance) on tour operators, the importance of product, the guest profile and location, resorts as part of an investment portfolio and the supply platform.  Here expert opinions from industry leaders:
