According to JLL's Hotel Operators' Sentiment Survey 2023, hotel occupancy levels in the Asia Pacific (APAC) continue to rise steadily following the reopening of all key markets, the ramping up of air capacity, and a strong pick up in conferences and events around the region.
Based on new data from JLL, Asia Pacific hotel investment volumes declined by 51% year-on-year in the first half of 2023 as macroeconomic challenges and the rising cost of debt influenced capital deployment.
According to CBRE's latest In and Out Report, offshore property investors have upped the ante in the Asia Pacific region, accounting for 41% of the $15.6 billion (USD) in office, retail, industrial and hotel property transactions finalised in H1 of 2021.
