They’re all featured in the pages that follow. The Virtuoso Events team and our Cape Town hosts have really outdone themselves with spectacular venues and personal touches topped with a myriad of Design Your Day activities to fully immerse your- self in South Africa. Whether wine lands or peninsula, sidecar ride or city walk, philanthropic or retail therapy, we’ve got you covered. Of course, we have you covered on the business side of Symposium as well. We’ll hear from three com- pelling speakers: Eric McNulty – Director of Research, Harvard’s National Preparedness Leadership Ini- tiative, Dave Pavelko – Partnerships Director, Travel – Google Inc., and David Scowsill – President and CEO, World Travel & Tourism Council.

  • HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide Excerpt 2017
    2017 EDITION | Price US$800 EXCERPT THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2016) Pawinee Chaisiriroj Senior Analyst Daniel J Voellm Managing Partner HVS.com HVS | Level 21, The Centre, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong The HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide 2017 Foreword It is with great pleasure that I share with you our fourth annual Asia-Pacific Operator Guide, data as of 31 December 2016. This fourth edition will continue to serve owners as a reference for which operator has a strong presence in their home market and in potential future markets further ashore as well as key feeder markets across the region. As more brands are created and/or introduced to the region, owners need to navigate a more complex environment. At the same time, M&A activities have created larger companies with a very large portfolio of brands. At the same time, we see operators building pipelines with limited-service brands that are easier to scale. Which operator to choose? Branding, anchored by the management expertise and distribution power that operators bring to a hotel property, is becoming more and more critical. In the face of increasing competition, non-branded properties often perform at a discount to their branded peers due to lack of awareness and quality assurance. Running a hotel is no easy task and owners have a tendency to view operators’ fees as unjustified for the value they deliver. It is essential that owner and operator align their interest from very early in the process and work towards a common goal, rather than start their long-term relationship from conflicting standpoints.

    2018 EDITION | Price US$800 EXCERPT THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2017) Pawinee Chaisiriroj Manager Daniel J Voellm Managing Partner HVS.com HVS | Level 7, Nan Fung Tower, 88 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong The HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide 2018 Foreword We proudly present to you the Fifth Edition of the annual Asia- Pacific Hotel Operator Guide. Talking to stakeholders in the industry, this publication has become increasingly sought after by the market to evaluate potential candidates to operate a hotel property anywhere in Asia-Pacific. Distribution power, market experience, brand portfolio and geographic presence are all relevant factors in narrowing down the best match. We greatly appreciate the support from all participants of this guide to provide a more comprehensive profile of our industry in the region. Owners, many of which are our clients, increasingly look for brands to help maximize the performance of their properties. This task needs to be approached carefully, understanding motivations and objectives on both sides of the table. Size doesn’t always matter, yet it often helps. Ultimately, it is the confidence an owner can take in the operator to provide a better return to the bottom line that closes the deal. Many small steps need to be taken along the way and the journey can be anywhere from exhausting to exciting. In this fifth edition, we have captured over one million existing and more than half a million pipeline rooms spread over 8,395 properties. This publication features major operators and we look forward to have more brands included in forthcoming editions.
