Top 3 Reasons to Invest in Philippine Hotels

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

With a fast-growing economy and an aggressive tourism marketing campaign, the Philippines has seen growth in the influx of local and foreign tourists, enjoying an average growth rate of 10.3% the past three years. According to the Department of Tourism (DOT) projections, this rate is expected to reach 16.2% in 2016, in anticipation of the ASEAN integration that is estimated to generate an additional 2 million visitors in 2015. Opportunities in the hotels sector The tourism industry's growth momentum is opening up several opportunities. Currently, aggressive room pricing is being experienced in the hotel industry due to the relatively low supply of hotel rooms compared to its Asian competitors. Aside from putting pressure on prices, this shortage also increased competition for available assets among investors and has spurred developments from major and 2nd-tier property developers in the country. Why invest in Philippine hotels now While global growth stays in low gear, portfolio managers and investors remain in search of alternative markets that offer good yields. The Philippines' hotels and leisure sector offers an opportunity for investors to take advantage of the country's fast-paced growth and get higher yields compared to what's currently being offered by traditional markets.

Room to grow

The Philippines needs more rooms. As of 2013, there are only 23,181 rooms in Manila alone, falling short of the requirement which is at 47,000 hotel rooms.

Budget airlines dominate airline

industry, and yet there remains a gap in market for budget hotels.

In the pipeline (2014-2015), there is only 15% of overall upcoming supply (budget hotels).

Decreased layovers in Manila show higher interest in other PH tourist destinations, providing opportunity for hotel investment and expansion.
