Singapore ranked 4th in Asian hotel investments

Japan led the market activity with $600 million worth of transactions.

According to Jones Lang LaSalle, during 2010, the Asian hotel market witnessed 43 major transactions with activity dominated by Japan, China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore and Thailand.

China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore and Thailand had transactions worth $533 million, $397 million, $325 million, $323 million and $164 million respectively.

Although Singapore, along with Hong Kong, dominated the hotel markets in Southeast Asia, Japan and China still led the market activity in the Asian region.

Asian transaction volume is projected to increase through 2011 to total around US$2.75 million. Japan is expected to emerge as the investment hot spot in 2011, due to the availability of stock.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
