Mergers and Acquisitions in the European Leisure & Hotels Sector: 2014 Report - An Analysis of Deals, Valuations, Trends and Prospects 2008-2013
M2 - Thu Jun 05, 9:45AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jc3jfl/mergers_and) has announced the addition of the "Mergers and Acquisitions in the European Leisure & Hotels Sector - An Analysis of Deals, Valuations, Trends and Prospects" report to their offering. Mergers and Acquisitions in the European Leisure & Hotels Sector - An Analysis of Deals, Valuations, Trends and Prospects is a comprehensive guide to recent M&A activity in the Leisure & Hotels sector in Europe (including Turkey) and to the prospects for future M&A activity. The report provides an in-depth analysis of 128 transactions announced over 2008 to 2013 in the European Leisure & Hotel sector with a disclosed valuation for the target of not less than 10 million, including all Leisure & Hotel sector public takeovers (irrespective of size). The report starts by looking at the key variables relevant to Leisure & Hotel sector M&A activity in Europe over 2008-2013, including deal volumes and sizes, the types of deals being done, the geographic spread of these transactions and the identification of the 7 segments of the Leisure & Hotels sector which together account for substantially all M&A activity covered by the report, namely Gaming, Hotels, Travel Agents and Tour Operators, Sports Clubs/Facilities, Leisure Resorts, Cinemas/Theatres/Exhibition Halls and Amusement Parks & Tourist Attractions. Key trends and developments are highlighted and explained, and individual transactions identified, wherever relevant. Each of the 128 transactions covered by the report is individually hyperlinked in whatever context it appears within the report, enabling readers to access the detailed PDF-form reports (5 to 10 pages long) on each of these transactions. The report then moves on to an in-depth study of the company valuation data generated by the deals being analysed - average transaction multiples (on both an equity value and enterprise value basis) are calculated for the 128 strong universe of transactions. These transaction multiples express the value of a merger or acquisition as a multiple of the target company's sales, profits or other financial metric and, as such, represent one of the core techniques used in corporate valuation. The report compares and contrasts the different multiples generated by transactions across each of the principal segments of the Leisure & Hotels sector detailed above. Key Topics Covered: 1. Executive Summary 2. Summary of European Leisure & Hotel M&A over 2008-2013 3. Valuation & Synergies Data 4. Public Takeover Bids In The European Leisure & Hotel Sector 5.

In 2012, Expenditure on Travel and Tourism by UK Residents, both Domestically and Overseas, Grew By 4.2%
M2 - Fri Mar 07, 5:00AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dktvv7/travel_agents_and) has announced the addition of the "Travel Agents & Overseas Tour Operators Market Report 2013" report to their offering. The UK travel and tourism industry has suffered significantly during the financial difficulties, with recessionary pressures and the wider uncertain global economic conditions resulting in declining consumer expenditure across all UK industries. The UK travel and tourism market is comprised of two main sectors: outbound tourism and domestic tourism. In terms of expenditure, outbound tourism represents the most significant sector, making up 57.4% of all expenditure in 2012. However, with depressed consumer expenditure in recent years, the gap between the two sectors has shrunk. One of the major issues currently affecting travel agents and tour operators, and in fact the entire travel and tourism industry, is the rising cost of air travel. Alongside inflation-related price increases, UK air travel is subject to one of the highest air taxes in the world, in the form of Air Passenger Duty (APD). In addition, in 2012, air travel activities by European airlines were brought under the scope of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), a cap-and-trade scheme on carbon emissions. This high rate of taxation, particularly in comparison with other countries, can ultimately reduce the attractiveness of the UK as a holiday destination and, equally, discourage UK residents from travelling abroad. Over the short term, both domestic and outbound tourism is expected to be subdued, with weak volume growth between 2013 and 2015. However, as economic conditions improve and consumer confidence builds in the medium to long term, both in the UK and overseas, tourism volumes are expected to experience increasingly significant growth.

However, Key Note estimates that, in 2012, expenditure on travel and tourism by UK residents, both domestically and overseas, grew by 4.2%. The UK travel and tourism market is comprised of two main sectors: outbound tourism and domestic tourism. In terms of expenditure, outbound tourism represents the most significant sector, making up 57.4% of all expenditure in 2012. However, with depressed consumer expenditure in recent years, the gap between the two sectors has shrunk. Despite the expected recovery in the sector in 2012, the outbound market has suffered considerably as a result of the economic recession, with double-digit declines recorded in both the total number of trips and total expenditure on overseas visits by UK residents over the last 5 years. In the domestic sector, however, the market has performed strongly, with growth in both volume and value over the last 5 years. This trend is again attributable to the adverse economic conditions, with consumers increasingly opting out of cost-intensive overseas holidays in favour of cheaper domestic trips.
