"Without major policy changes, the number of hotel rooms in Vancouver will continue to stagnate, making it harder and more expensive to visit the city.
If the City is serious about addressing Vancouver’s hotel shortage, it needs to introduce real incentives to make hotel development attractive.
The City must allow condominiums to be integrated into hotel developments, providing an essential financial cushion for developers. At the same time, building height restrictions need to be relaxed — without taller buildings, there’s not enough strata residential use to subsidize hotel construction." https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-hotel-room-shortage-crisis-solutions
