From the prespective of hospitality business, this recession has forced hotels to step back and look at attracting newer segments, creating newer channels to stay afloat. This will payback when recovery starts, and it will start soon !

I visit Dubai a lot on business. Hospitality definitely better there than here in Europe but think still bit early to talk about full recovery. Won't be long and far before we in France feel benefit.
