While the weakening yen is having an effect on the purchasing power of Japanese tourists and companies overseas, it is providing some benefits at home. Naturally, a weaker yen in dollar terms means that visits to Japan are relatively less expensive compared to previously. In the hotel sector, a report has found that average room rates in Tokyo are 30-40% cheaper than their counterparts in New York and Singapore. With the average rate at the end of March 2024 at roughly $177 dollars per night, many operators are now seeing an opportunity to increase prices whilst retaining visitor numbers. Alongside this shift, new luxury additions to the Tokyo hospitality scene will include the JW Marriott Hotel Tokyo and Hilton’s Waldorf Astoria Tokyo Nihonbashi, scheduled to open in 2025 and 2026 respectively. With visitor numbers topping a record 3 million in March, the highest since records began, it is clear that Japan’s post-COVID tourism boom is in full swing. Will the affordable yen prove to be another contributing factor to this? #Tokyo #Hotels #Tourism

Savills Japan has just released Japan Hospitality August 2024. "The hotel sector has continued on its upward trend, reaching new highs for ADR and RevPAR. This sustained robustness has also fuelled investment sentiment and volumes to historical highs. While overtourism is an issue in some popular areas, Japan has a wide and diverse array of locations that have not been discovered yet. More inbound tourists should be welcomed as long as they are properly distributed." https://lnkd.in/gtXcBAXk

It's true that Asian hospitality has made a significant mark on the global hospitality industry, often ranking at the top of "best hotel" lists. Asian hotels, particularly in countries like Japan, Thailand, and Singapore, are renowned for their impeccable service, attention to detail, and strong emphasis on personalized guest experiences. This level of care has helped them consistently stand out. While New York has a rich history in the luxury hotel scene, the competition worldwide is fierce, and the rise of hospitality in Asia reflects a broader shift in expectations and service quality. It's impressive to see how different regions bring their own cultural strengths to hospitality, creating a global standard for excellence. #besthotels #hospitality #luxury #lifestyle

🏨 Singapore's Luxury Hotel Supply Hits a New Growth Milestone in 2024! 🌟 As we step into 2024, Singapore's luxury hotel market celebrates a pivotal achievement.

This is a testament to the resilience and dynamism of the sector. 📈 Let's take a moment to appreciate the journey that brought us here: 📉 Stagnation Era (1972-1981): The luxury hotel market endured a sluggish phase, with no growth, reflecting global economic challenges. 🚀 Boom Years (1982-1988): A period of rapid expansion, with a luxury room supply CAGR peaking at 8.2%, coinciding with the rise of Singapore as a Tiger Economy. 📈 Steady Expansion (1989-1995): Growth continued at a strong pace, averaging 7.6% despite the looming Asian Financial Crisis. ⏳ Cooling Off (1996-2011): Amidst various global crises, growth slowed, averaging 4.0%, reflecting the times' uncertainty. 🌱 Moderate Recovery (2012-2024): Post-crisis, the market has been rebuilding, culminating in the current 2.8% rolling CAGR, signaling a recovery and a potential new era of growth. This upward trajectory reflects the robustness of Singapore's luxury hotel sector, even as it navigates the complexities of a post-pandemic world.

It was a pleasure to share a panel on independent hotel brands with Christopher Hur Toby Smith Michael Piro Andrew MacGeoch, at SEAHIS in Bangkok. Some takeaways from the panel and summit: • Hotel investment landscape reacting to higher funding costs and bid/offer spreads. Though hotel transactions as a percentage of office at multi-decade high of 50%. • Overall Asian hotel occupancy and ADR numbers remain strong. Growth beginning to level off into 2025. Costs remain elevated, but manageable. • There is a case for independent brands, allowing enhanced personal experience, more flexibility, direct booking model, but there are challenges to scaling. • AI adoption is accelerating in hotels, with accessible solutions on offer. Seen as human enhancing, not human replacing, in a heavily people relationship sector. • Asia has lagged Europe in adopting ESG standards, but there is progress in countries like Singapore, HK, Thailand, in terms of regulation and reporting. Thanks as always to Simon Allison and the HOFTEL LIMITED team for putting on an excellent event! #hotel #investment #hospitality #travel #tourism #privateequity #seahis

The recent uproar over a tourist's claim that Singapore is "super expensive" has sparked a heated debate online. 🤯 Yes, staying at a $1,200-a-night hotel and dining on $85 tuna salads will burn a hole in anyone's wallet. But does that paint the whole picture of Singapore? Not even close. 📌 Let’s set the record straight: 1. **Accommodation**: Sure, you can splurge at Marina Bay Sands or Raffles. But budget hotels, hostels, and serviced apartments offer comfort at a fraction of the cost. 2. **Food**: Why skip hawker centers where $5 gets you a delicious meal? Michelin-starred street food, anyone? 3. **Transportation**: $800 for transport? Locals get around the city with $4.40 rides on our efficient MRT system. 4. **Experience**: From the free Supertree Grove light show to exploring cultural enclaves, Singapore offers countless affordable (even free!) activities. Tourdebree's extravagant spending is her choice, but let’s not mislead potential visitors. Singapore is as expensive - or as affordable - as you make it. 👉 What's your take? Is Singapore really that expensive, or is it all about choices? Share your thoughts and experiences! Let's debunk the myths and set the record straight. Singapore #BudgetTravel #LuxuryTravel
