These six areas, which also represent "uncertainties," are: (1) capital needs of the lodging industry, (2) availability of capital for the lodging industry, (3) cost and terms of capital, (4) structural changes in the lodging industry, (5) operating and investment performance, and (6) role of financial institutions as suppliers of capital to the lodging industry.
