Asia Pacific hotel investments cool in 1H2023: JLL
In spite of the muted financial investment volumes in 1H2023, the firm notes that the hotel sector has revealed “considerable enhancement” in dealing performance, supported by rising common everyday rates across the area’s hotels and China’s resuming in January this year. “Approaching 2024, we expect to see even more specific possibilities surface in some destinations across Apac, where costs have actually been adjusted downwards, enabling interested events to reassess,” Ercan includes.
JLL has actually advised on two various other significant hotel purchases recently. In July, it suggested Crystal Plaza Resorts on the sale of Amari Havodda Maldives resort to Thai hospitality corporation Minor International Public as well as its economic companion, Abu Dhabi Fund Development.
