Research Report: Gross and Net Profits of Climate Resilient and Sustainable Franchised Hotels and Resorts Worldwide and Key Metrics and Ratios to Guide Financial Success

Introduction

Investors are increasingly relying on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings for making investment decisions. However, there is a need for a stand-alone climate-specific rating that focuses on climate risk. This rating would distill complex information into a user-friendly format and address the flaws of ESG ratings. This report aims to explore the importance of climate-specific ratings, the concerns raised by ESG ratings, and their impact on financial markets. Additionally, it will examine the growth dynamics and financial performance of the global cruise industry.

Importance of Climate-Specific Ratings

1. 1.A climate-specific rating can provide an intuitive and user-friendly format to assess climate risk. It can avoid the flaws associated with ESG ratings by offering more granularity in evaluating different aspects of climate performance.
2. 2.Different agencies rated Tesla’s environmental performance differently, demonstrating the flaws of ESG ratings. A stand-alone climate rating would provide a consistent and reliable assessment.
3. 3.Specialized climate ratings can facilitate a more climate-conscious asset allocation on financial markets, with recent polling showing that two in three Americans are concerned about global warming.
4. 4.Inclusion of climate ratings significantly increases investment in companies with favorable climate ratings, even if other stocks offer stronger returns.
5. 5.Climate ratings can help asset managers overcome legal barriers imposed by U.S. trust law.

Global Cruise Industry Dynamics

1. 1.The global cruise industry has experienced persistent growth over the last two decades, rebounding after the 2008 financial crisis.
2. 2.Revenue and profitability growth have been driven by factors such as globalization, restructurings, mergers, and diverse travel and tourism services catering to different passenger profiles.
3. 3.Major cruise companies have ambitious investment plans to expand and renew their fleet with larger, modern vessels of high value.
4. 4.Despite the industry’s significance, financial empirical research on cruise shipping remains limited.

Scope of the Study

1. 1.This study aims to fill the research gap by providing innovative findings and managerial implications related to managerial efficiency, profitability, growth prospects, financing sources and capital structure, leverage, solvency, and value creation dynamics in the global cruise industry.
2. 2.The prime cruise business actors include over 55 cruise line companies offering ocean, river, and specialty cruise services, covering more than 95% of global cruise capacity.

Financial Performance of the Global Cruise Industry

1. 1.The global cruise industry generated $46.6 billion in revenue in 2018, showcasing a significant rebound since declining to below $25 billion after the 2008 recession.
2. 2.The economic output generated by the global cruise industry was estimated at $150 billion in 2018, representing a 20% increase from $126 billion in 2016.
3. 3.Estimates suggest aggregate direct purchases of $7.97 billion in 2018, reflecting an 11.4% increase from the previous year. The average passenger spending before boarding was $376.

ESG ratings have gained popularity among investors but are flawed when it comes to evaluating climate risk. Stand-alone climate ratings can provide a more reliable assessment and facilitate climate-conscious asset allocation. The global cruise industry has experienced significant growth and financial performance, with ambitious investment plans driving its expansion.
