Economic and financial analysis of the hotel industry

Abstract

The following Bachelor's Degree Final Project is based on an economic and financial analysis of two of the world’s leading hotel groups. The two hotel groups targeted for analysis and comparison were NH Hotel Group and Meliá Hotels International. The study sought to establish the current situation of the two groups and their economic and financial development during the period 2014–2017. An economic and financial analysis was performed of each hotel group followed by subsequent comparative analysis. To do so, the main net assets, key income and expense items; as well as the liquidity, solvency, and profitability ratios, were studied. Finally, the conclusions drawn, based on the data obtained in the study, are set out.
