"I have been involved recently in two projects with major brands where the brand pulled out after the commencement of sales to residence buyers. Now granted the developer in each case was not entirely in compliance with their contractual obligations with the brand. But the projects were not stalled, were proceeding to completion and the breaches for which the termination was triggered were not so egregious and well outside the bounds by which, in my experience, most international operators would seek to pull the plug on a deal that was likely to otherwise materialize. Operators will patiently tolerate quite a few contractual indiscretions by developers if they see the finish line in sight. These high front-end cost projects are, after all, hard to complete."

"Social media has transformed the way people communicate, share information and express their opinions. These online platforms play a significant role in influencing customers’ decision-making processes, from the initial search to the final purchase and beyond. For the hospitality industry, which relies heavily on reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations, social media is even more vital."
