To be held at InterContinental Hong Kong, the one-day Symposium aims to help owners, developers and operators of leisure real estate translate the market potential into investment opportunities for their businesses. It will also draw the interest of hospitality groups, tourism authorities and investors on how to leverage shared ownership as an emerging contributor to tourism in Asia.
Delegates at the Symposium will be given toolkits on how to maximise and optimise the growth potential of leisure real estate assets, gain insights into the latest leisure real estate models and advice from leading industry experts as well as access the latest trends and opportunities in Asia Pacific. The event also provides participants with ample opportunities for networking and developing strategic business partnerships.
The Symposium is timely as the market for shared ownership leisure products such as fractional properties, mixed use hotels, condo-hotels, traditional timeshare or destination clubs, is one of the fastest growing tourism segments in the world today. The shared ownership business is now worth more than $10 billion and is expected to grow substantially over the next few years, especially in Asia Pacific.
RCI Asia Pacific president & CEO Ivor Clucas, who will be speaking at the Symposium says, “RCI Global Vacation Network has more than 30 years of success as the global leader in leisure accommodation and the world’s largest vacation exchange provider. Being part of Wyndham Worldwide means that our partners and aaffiliates can tap into the group’s worldwide network, technological expertise and state-of-the-art systems. We hope to share this expertise and experience at the upcoming Asia Pacific Shared Ownership Symposium, and provide leisure real estate owners with a strong competitive advantage to capture the unbridled potential of tourism growth in Asia.”
The Symposium will consist of panel discussions and presentations to address topics ranging from the socio-economic market drivers and changing demographics shaping the tourism demand in Asia Pacific, to new shared ownership products in mixed use developments and the legal and operational framework as well as how investment in shared ownership provides faster and stronger returns.
“We have organised several similar symposiums around the world including Europe, USA and Dubai. We are delighted to have the opportunity to present the first shared ownership symposium in Asia Pacific and are confident that delegates will find it most informative and useful. We intend it to become an annual event bringing together key players in the leisure real estate and hospitality segment to share ideas and best practices to unleash optimal investment profits and spur greater growth in the shared ownership industry,” added Clucas.
