Hotel investment analysis involves a detailed assessment of the financial performance and viability of hotel properties, using key financial metrics such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and performance ratios to guide decision-making. Understanding cost behaviour and applying costing methods like Activity-Based Costing (ABC) is essential for optimizing financial control and planning in hotel operations. Additionally, advanced techniques such as Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP) analysis and risk analysis tools enable investors and managers to forecast financial outcomes and address potential uncertainties in hotel investments.
