A highly informative update provided by Peter Harper from JLL Hotels at the ShineWing Australia hotel and tourism industry market opportunities networking event last night. Thanks to Tim Stillwell and Andy Lau for the invitation. Peter spoke of strong demand drivers, including 500,000sm of new lettable office space driving new corporate business, that continue to underpin the growth of Melbourne's hotel market. Eighteen new hotels are currently under construction in Melbourne (an increase of 4,600 rooms and 21 per cent on current stock), with an additional 3,500 rooms, in projects proposed for metropolitan Melbourne. #hotels #tourism #development
