The standards we hold ourselves to.

Editorial independence

All research published by the Institute is editorially independent of our advisory engagements. We do not accept paid placements, sponsored analysis or promotional content. No client may review or amend a publication that references their property or business.

Conflicts of interest

Where any analyst, contributor or institute fellow has a material interest in a property, operator or transaction discussed in our work, that interest is disclosed in full at the point of publication.

Confidentiality

Confidential information shared with us in the course of advisory engagements is never used in published research. Aggregated and anonymised intelligence is the only basis on which engagement-derived data informs publication.

Citation and quotation

Our research is widely quoted by major newspapers, investment funds and hospitality boards. We welcome considered citation; misrepresentation is challenged.

Corrections

Material errors are corrected promptly, transparently and with a clear note on the publication concerned. We do not silently amend published work.
