Auscham Vietnam Hotels & Hospitality Group | July 2017 Vietnam Spotlight on the Accommodation & Tourism Industry CHINA Sapa Hanoi Halong HAINAN ISLAND Yangon Hue THAILAND Foreword Danang Hoi An Vietnam has undergone an astonishing 30 years of development. The World Bank's outlook for the Vietnamese economy remains highly positive, with average GDP growth of around 6% forecast CAMBODIA annually until 2020, whilst Oxford Economics forecast that by Nha Trang Dalat 2020 Vietnam’s economy will be growing faster than China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. GULF OF Phan Thiet THAILAND Economic and political reforms have spurred rapid growth, previously high inflation is now under control with the average Ho Chi Minh City inflation rate in 2014 – 2016 standing at 2.5% and the exchange Phu Quoc rate being stable over recent years. These factors continue to transform the country, with the middle class expected to grow by 18% from 2016 – 2020, providing one of many catalysts for the rapidly growing tourism industry. Vietnam's wealthiest are also set to get much richer. In fact, the dramatic growth of "Ultra High Net Worth Individuals" in Asia (which is typically regarded as someone with a net worth of above USD 30 million) is set to be reinforced by stellar growth rates in Vietnam, which is expected to see its ultra-wealthy population rise by the highest rate of growth in the world. Hanoi Vietnam’s rapid economic development has been led by Capital of Vietnam an industrial renaissance, particularly as multi-national manufacturers look to diverse their operations across developing Asia in a so-called ‘China + 1’ strategy. The political stability, pro- business environment and ‘golden age’ demographics which see 2 25% of the population being between 10 and 24 years of age has km attracted a range of investors from neighbouring Asian’s nations including South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore. Land310,070 Area In terms of Vietnam’s accommodation demand, there were over ten million international arrivals into the country in 2016, a 26% increase on the year prior. This is the first time Vietnam welcomed over ten million foreign visitors, reflecting the country’s growing status as a business destination and tourist 94.4 million hotspot, this is set to double by 2020. Resident Population in 2016 The industrial renaissance has driven corporate demand for hotels across the country, whilst visa exemptions, the introduction of new direct air routes and improved marketing efforts have boosted the country’s appeal to leisure travellers. Like much of Southeast Asia, leisure demand has been driven by USD Mainland Chinese tourists which hit a record last year in terms of million arrivals growth. 2016 205.3Norminal GDP 2 Vietnam recently announced it would renew its 15-day visa exemption policy for citizens of Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Spain until the end of June 2018, whilst the majority Forecast International Arrivals of Asian nations are already visa exempt and some other European countries are also exempt. 20,000,000 The first five months of 2017 saw the country welcome over five million international travellers according to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism (VNAT), increasing 26% 10,012,735 over the same period last year. The country appears on track to 11,500,000 meet its annual target this year of 11.5 million foreign visitors. We cannot discount the mammoth growth of domestic tourism 6,014,032 and what it also means for the country's hospitality sector - complimenting foreign arrivals. In 2015, Vietnam recorded 57 million domestic visitors which was an astonishing 48% growth on the previous year. The domestic tourism stimulus program, themed “Vietnamese travel in Vietnam – Each journey to love the fatherland more” was launched in 2014 and has heavily 2011 2016 2017F 2020F contributed to the increase of locals travelling domestically. Many local tourism organisations and operators supported the program by boosting advertising and marketing activities. In addition, Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air and JetStar Pacific joined the program, offering discounts to various destinations which has underpinned the tremendous growth in airlift recognised over the past two years. Vietnam's growing tourism and thriving economy have promoted the hotel and resort market with foreign investors from across the region showing significant interest in Vietnam over the past 18 months - the country has become one of the most talked about markets in Asia Pacific. After the recent rebranding of Hoi An’s The Nam Hai, which is now under Four Seasons management, an ever increasing range of resort locations are expected to gain greater attention from international hotel operators, whilst investors continue to circle for deals.

In a country famous for its motorbike usage, automobile sales have surged in recent years, as wealth has grown and tariffs on cars have been reduced. Car sales reached 304,427 in 2016, a 24% increase on the previous year. Recognising this demand, the 2020 Transport Master Plan is targeting to construct 2,000 km of highways, including the much anticipated North-South highway linking Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, which is envisaged to complete in approximately three years. Further, the addition of numerous over-passes in both Hanoi and HCMC is accommodating the ever increasing number of vehicles on the roads.

Ho Chi Minh City Geography In the core of the Mekong Delta, Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is second the most important in Vietnam after Hanoi. It is not only a commercial center but also a scientific, technological, industrial and tourist center. The city is bathed by many rivers, arroyos and canals, the biggest river being the Saigon River. The Port of Saigon, established in 1862, is accessible to ships weighing up to 30,000 tons, a rare advantage for an inland river port. Climate:The climate is generally hot and humid.

The hottest month is April and the lowest is December. It is warm all year. History Many centuries ago, Saigon was already a busy commercial center.

  • Embara: Saigon's Youth Arcadia
    Sustainable Development and Planning VIII 299 Embara: Saigon’s youth arcadia A. Anas, S. S. Zubir, F. R. Razali, Z. Yahya & F. Kholid Centre of Studies for Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying, University Teknologi MARA, Malaysia Abstract Gentrification and segregation are the two most polemic terms in urban discourse today. In a climate shaped by rapid globalisation and multinational corporations, widespread sameness is evident in any cosmopolitan hub. Conversely, each city has its own local, vernacular traditions. Considered to be the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, District 1 is the centre for all financial, commercial and administrative activity. Although it is still Vietnamese in character, this district has felt the effects of secularisation and modernisation most heavily. In order to confront the challenge of wider cultural amalgamation, the need to reform urban typologies for living, knowledge sharing, and profit making is paramount. By October 2016, a “New Urban Agenda” will be tabled at “Habitat III” placing culture at the centre of the debates on sustainable urbanism. Drawing ideas from hypothetical theories and cultural imperative of the scene, new strategies will be introduced to embrace the relationship of the human subject and urban environment. Embara is an attempt to articulate a sound and measure response through urban acupuncture. As a concept, wayfaring is used as a strategy to enhance the user experience in both solids and voids, public and private spaces. The mechanism which centres at building connection includes sequence of events that will become a catalyst to a chain of reaction in rejuvenating Ho Chi Minh City through new contextualisation of programs, targeted at the most critical group of citizens in the country, the youth.
