The zone also incorporates a start-up village and hosts the inaugural Hotel Innovation Challenge Asia (HICA) 2022.
As Asia Pacific’s hotel sector continued to accelerate in 2022 with investment volumes for the first half of the year totaling $6.8 billion, the industry is looking confidently ahead to rebounding to pre-pandemic levels. Room occupancy rates in Asia are also expected to recover to pre-Covid numbers by 2024 accordingly to CBRE.
