Market environment
The vacation hotel industry is characterized by decades of sustainable growth and crisis resilience. The asset class has proven its resilience, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic. Economic development in tourism is growing strongly worldwide. There is a particular trend towards nearby nature and year-round destinations. The season is lengthening and shifting. Climate protection and sustainability are playing an increasingly important role.
The performance of the vacation hotel industry has overtaken the hotel business in the city in recent years. Compared to city hotels, significantly higher revenue per room and guest has been achieved. New record occupancy rates were achieved. Daily room rates (ADR) increased significantly. The premium and luxury segment is developing at an above-average rate, as demand for luxury vacations has risen enormously among a constantly growing middle class worldwide.
Nevertheless, the vacation hotel market is far from exhausted and offers enormous growth potential. The focus of institutional investors is also increasingly shifting from city business hotels to the vacation hotel industry and vacation destinations in Europe.
Strategy
Due to this positive development, EPH Group AG is clearly focusing on the holiday hotel sector and cities with high tourist appeal. The aim is to achieve above-average returns from its own developments.
Thanks to EPH Group AG's access to numerous international hotel brands, the best possible operator with a tailor-made operating concept can be selected for each project. The type of contract (lease, management, or hybrid contract) is determined individually for each property after a thorough opportunity-risk analysis.
In the medium term, the portfolio is to be expanded to include investments in related areas such as gastronomy, culinary arts, food & beverage, and other tourism projects. The aim is to leverage synergies with the core business and continuously increase the value of the company. In the current environment, a sustainable and responsible corporate culture is particularly important to us. That is why our ESG principles guide our business activities.
Focus on capital market
To finance its projects, EPH Group AG has for several years consistently pursued a capital market-oriented financing strategy. Two corporate bonds were issued in July 2023 and February 2025. The first cash capital increase followed in summer 2025. Since the IPO on November 19, 2025, EPH Group AG shares have also been listed. In autumn 2026, a further cash capital increase and the issue of a new corporate bond are being carried out in parallel in order to further strengthen the equity and debt capital base of EPH Group AG. EPH Group AG is thus offering institutional investors and private investors the opportunity to participate in the development of this continuously growing market segment – both through equity in the form of shares and through debt in the form of bonds.
EPH Group AG's capital market-oriented financing strategy is intended to contribute to a balanced financing structure and enable the financing of planned projects on economic terms, even in the current market environment.
