    Thank you for your question regarding hotel demand and the number of existing and proposed hotels in the area. The Hotel Development Policy (HDP), approved by Council in April of this year, seeks to add 10,000 hotel rooms city-wide between August 2022 and August 2050. This room target was arrived at through analysis commissioned by Destination Vancouver (DV) in 2022. Vancouver's hotel room supply has been declining from 2002 levels, while tourism demand has increased steadily, now exceeding pre-pandemic levels. The DV study noted the city would forego over $16 billion in potential economic activity and more than 168,000 full-time equivalent jobs if no new hotels were added to meet the demand over the next several years. 

    Traffic impacts and improvements to address the safety of all road users will be reviewed as a component of the rezoning process. Should the application reach the development permit stage, the applicant will be required to submit a Transportation Demand Management plan to explore strategies to further reduce impacts to traffic and parking demand.
