  • HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide Excerpt 2016
    2016 EDITION | Price US$800 SUMMARY THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2015) Setthawat Hetrakul Assistant Manager 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 2016 Foreword It is with great pleasure that I share with you our third annual Asia-Pacific Operator Guide, data as of 31 December 2015. This third 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. With China rapidly becoming a strong outbound market, brands and operators that are well positioned there are better positioned to welcome Chinese travelers overseas. 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. In this third edition, we have captured close to one million existing and more than half a million pipeline rooms spread over 6,546 properties.

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.
