Asia Pacific Luxury Hotel Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

The Asia-Pacific Hotel Market has generated revenue of USD 18.4 billion in the current year and is poised to achieve a CAGR of 8% for the forecast period.

Luxury hotels differ from traditional hotels as they provide advanced services at a higher price. Even though the core function of all hotels and accommodation units is the same and requires hotel employees to provide the best of their services, luxury hotels are able to provide an even more enriched customer experience to their clients because they deal with large investments and revenue. Because luxury hotels invest heavily in the seamless integration of technology and services, it serves as a positive reinforcement for future global luxury hotel market growth.

The effect of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry can be observed in all regions including Asia-Pacific. The Covid-19 pandemic caused the Asia-Pacific market size to suffer losses due to the closure of restaurants, hotels, and accommodation services in 2020. The hotel industry was the first and most affected sector across economies because almost all regions were under lockdown and people's movement was heavily regulated. Even though hotels are permitted to operate as before, the industry as a whole is expected to take a few more years to recover from the losses experienced in the previous two years.

However post Covid-19, the market is expected to observe growth due to the increasing outbound travel by the young population within the region as well as growing inbound travel to the region. Rising disposable income, an increase in people's standard of life, expanding business and tourism industries across the region, and an increase in people's desire for leisure travel are all predicted to propel the industry. Some of the essential elements that draw guests to luxury resorts are the inflation of spending power and living standards. The growing government focus on the tourism industry in the region is a major driver for the industry.

Large international brands lead the hotel market’s growth in APAC, but smaller chains and local developers also create interesting offerings for their guests. The largest project set to open in the APAC region is the Mui Dinh Eco-Resort in Vietnam. The development will include 7,000 rooms and 500 ocean-facing villas as well as amenities like a theme park, a casino, a beach club and a mountain clubhouse. Marriott International, Inc. is expecting to open 14 additional luxury properties in Asia Pacific by the end of 2023.

The increased interdependence of economies, populations, and cultures around the world is known as globalization, and it is expected to have a positive impact on the APAC luxury hotel industry. As a result, people are moving from one place to another at a faster rate, making the world smaller. However, with increasing income and job opportunities, people have become more confident in their spending habits and a significant portion of society is now able to afford luxury spending, at least occasionally if not frequently. The reasons for the movement could range from personal vacation to one enforced by professional obligations. The rising number of business trips taken by working professionals benefits the APAC market cap as well. Since these travels are business-related and sponsored by businesses, the professionals are typically housed in upscale hotels rather than budget ones, which boosts the APAC market's revenue.
