The hotel market hasn't been "dandy" for at least the last 3-4 years. Whilst more and more hotels come online, ADR (average daily rate) is dropping.

Even if prices fell 50% the contracts offered are so ambiguous as to who, how, when routine common area maintenance is performed I still would not be a player.

I think that as the visitors will increase these hotels and restaurants will be increasing day by day and for that construction sector will continue.

Two questions. How long have you lived here? And secondly what demographics do you base your optimistic prediction on?
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.
