NEW YORK CITY-Transactions in the lodging sector started to pick up last year, and that trend is should continue, says Arthur De Haast chairman of Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels. Industry observers should expect hotel transactions to reach about $15 billion this year.

De Haast was interviewed here recently at the GlobeSt.com headquarters by editor Paul Bubny.

Their conversation touched on:

  • What markets in the Americas De Haast expects to do well this year.
  • What kinds of hotels have a limit of product right now.
  • The impact of debt refinancing on the hotel sector.
  • How hotels are doing in the US versus other global markets.
