  • Changes for the Better
    JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2021 Uncover hidden gems in rural Tokyo Switzerland dangles evergreen KDN PPS1888/02/2017(025626) charms Asia-Pacific’s intelligent business events resource New structures for associations Changes for the better Tough lessons during the transition from in-person to hybrid events have laid the foundation for a brighter future for business gatherings, where attendees can join in from anywhere and benefit from enhanced engagement EDITOR’S NOTE A critical piece of the puzzle If producing a business event in regular times was regarded as a complex exercise, then it must now be a herculean task thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic. There are numerous do’s and don’ts that come with safe management measures for in-person events, and these can become tricky to track when destinations and their government list different requirements even though general safeguards are the same. Furthermore, the acquisition of multi- agency approvals and permits to ensure safety guidelines are adhered to have become common pre-event procedures. Adding to event planners’ juggle are the complexities of omni-channel events. The debate on the longevity of hybrid online/offline events beyond the pandemic is long outdated by now; such events have taken root and they are evolving to utilise more than just a single web-meeting platform. Omni-channel events require production foresight and experience design no different from executing a TV show or live concert. With the never-ending challenge of travel resumption, omni-channel events will have to be a concept adopted by serious event owners looking to deliver engagements of any size.

  • 2014 Trends Report: Top 10 Global Spa and Wellness Trends Forecast
    2014 Trends Report Top 10 Global Spa and Wellness Trends Forecast 2014 Trends Report Top 10 Global Spa and Wellness Trends Forecast This is our 11th annual Trends Forecast, and I have never been more excited about the spa and wellness industry. So many of the trends we predicted over the past decade are now coming to fruition…helping businesses thrive and helping people live more healthfully every day. At the same time, we are seeing new, provocative ideas that will have a dramatic impact around the globe. The 2014 trends reflect an industry that is reimagining core elements of spa and wellness and exploring brave, new directions. It is gratifying to see a healthy dose of healthy travel in several of the trends; bold new ideas in mainstays like aromatherapy and hot springs take hold; and the development of new models for classic destination spas. It is also rewarding to watch trends in technology, beauty and fitness shape how we will live (and look)—and even take note of how the industry will help people address dying, illness and major life changes. Susie Ellis President, SpaFinder And finally, there is a trend we forecasted in 2013 that continues to capture our Wellness, Inc., and imagination: mindfulness. We feel strongly that it is important to watch how this is Chairman & CEO, Global evolving, and you’ll see a short synopsis of this “über trend” in the report. Spa & Wellness Summit Spafinder Wellness 365™’s Trends Forecast reports on what is happening in our industry, but we also strive to present a true forecast of what lies ahead.

  • The Annual HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide 2018
    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.
