Buybacks cost more than the savings in dividend payout -- much, much more -- so there should be a compelling reason.

As suggested by @bgdick, there should be a revenue/earnings foundation before increasing a dividend. A growth company such as SVC should not casually toss away balance sheet strength just to satisfy the whims of income-oriented shareholders (who perhaps should have bought something else).
