The Hospitality Valuation Index (HVI) combines the various factors affecting the economy and region at large with hotel market specific demand and supply dynamics to derive indicative values and future growth trends. For this edition of the HVI, we have analysed 22 key hotel markets in Asia Pacific with a total inventory of approximately 1,219,300 rooms in the mid-market and higher space (four star plus).

Note:

1. To facilitate comparison between markets, we have calculated the index in USD. However, to understand the inherent growth within a market, sans currency fluctuation, we have also presented growth in values in terms of local currency for the historical years. The forecasted numbers, however, assumed an exchange rate, forecasted by the Economic Intelligence Unit, between the local currency and USD.
2. The HVI intends to create a platform where trends in hotel values are captured on an ongoing basis. We understand and appreciate the individual characteristics pertaining to each hotel asset. Therefore, it would be misrepresentative to look at a trend from the HVI and apply it to a specific asset. While this might give an indication of directional movement, for an investor or an owner, it is critical to capture hotel specific trends and factors to comment on its open market value.
3. The HVI does not consider appreciation or depreciation of real estate in a particular market neither does it account for changes in construction prices/indices. We have worked off a premise that a hotel asset’s value is derived from the income it can generate.
