22 5 Looking Ahead

23 Australia In general, performance of Sydney CBD hotels are expected to remain strong on the back of limited supply, while hotels in suburban Sydney may be affected by increased competition. While the Melbourne hotel market is expected to remain positive in the near term, upcoming supply may moderate growth. More intense competition is also expected for meeting and conference facilities in Melbourne following the reopening of the International Convention Centre Sydney. The oversupply situation continues to persist in the Brisbane market, although the upcoming Commonwealth Games to be held in April 2018 in Gold Coast may provide a lift to the hotel market in the city. 23

24 China While international arrivals into Beijing remained on the downtrend, domestic travelling is expected to continue supporting the hotel market in Beijing. As business and leisure demand continues to improve, the outlook of hotel market in Beijing is expected to remain healthy in the near term. 24

25 Japan Inbound arrivals to Japan continued to be robust as the number of international visitors YTD September posted growth of 17.9% y-o-y 1. Looking ahead, the hotel markets in Tokyo and Osaka are expected to continue trading at a healthy level in the near term. However, performance improvement in these markets is expected to be moderate amidst increasingly competitive operating environment. Note: 1. Source: Japan National Tourism Organisation 25

26 Singapore Inbound arrivals continued to grow, increasing by 4.0% y-o-y YTD August and Singapore remained a premium destination for MICE. Singapore was awarded 2016 s top international association meetings city in Asia Pacific and Middle East by International Congress and Convention Association for the 15th consecutive years, and has secured large congresses in the coming years 1, which will benefit the hotel market in Singapore. While the performance of hotel market in the near term is likely to remain subdued due to the large inventory of rooms, the sector is expected to improve in the longer term as demand and supply begin to balance out.
