The third South East
Asia Hotel Investors’
Summit is coming!
SEAHIS is back for the third time on 16/17th May 2019, as
the premier hotel investment event in South East Asia – the
only one focused on the opportunities open to, and challenges
facing, hospitality real estate investors and those who provide
key services to them including law firms, consultants, brokers,
project managers and architects.
SEAHIS covers a wide region including - The Vietnam Boom - is it sustainable?
Suchad Chiaranussati Dillip Rajakarier ASEAN, the eastern Indian Ocean, - Are new distribution channels

and Taiwan. Will the disruptors be disrupted?
As a conference uniquely run by the hotel - How easily can hotel owning groups
owners’ alliance, HOFTEL, SEAHIS is create their own brand? Is it hubris or
truly an event run by hotel owners. common sense?
What makes SEAHIS different - Too dependent on China? How safe is
and worthwhile? reliance on a single inbound market?

• While we have a good number of OK, so far so good. But there are just so
sponsors, and are very grateful for many hotel investment conferences –
their support, we don’t encourage regional ones, specialist ones, even some
them to bring armies of salespeople (at free ones. Why SEAHIS? Because,

looking for deals). Indeed, hotel and networking with a senior group of
serviced apartment owners constituted people in a relaxed environment which

are by far the largest single group.
Phanachet Indeed, over 2017 and 2018,
an average of sixty companies
which own hotels and/or serviced
apartments came to SEAHIS
each year.
But don’t take our word for it. Here are some comments, which you can also see on
our highlights video, from industry leaders in the region:
‘I think it’s nice to see a different demographic….it’s a nice mix and
Tim Alpe Ranjit Batra what we see are a good bunch of owners, operators and investors.’
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO, Minor Hotels:
‘I will come back definitely and recommend to my friends’
Suchad Chiaranussati, CEO, SC Capital:
‘I love coming to this event every year …. always meet great people,
new faces and old faces. A very enjoyable event.’
Prab Thakral, CEO, Boutique Group:
Kevin Colket Gordon Drake
‘The format is fast paced, it’s irreverent and it attempts to explode
industry myths and works on really having a focus at financial
return on behalf of owners.
Tony Ryan, Head of M&A, JLL Hotels:
All are returning in 2019.

Who Should Attend?
SEAHIS is of course aimed at owners of, and investors in,
hospitality real estate, whether developers of new assets
and destinations, experienced investors in the acquisition
space or newcomers seeking a different property sector in
which to expand. They may include family offices, sovereign
funds, REITs and other listed property groups, developers,
franchisees, private equity and dedicated hotel
Anchalika Kijkanakorn Tommy Lai investment vehicles.
At the same time, such investors also want to hear from experts in the
sector, including:
• Bankers • Law Firms • Branding
• Consultants • Architects Experts
• Brokers • OTAs
Representatives from such groups are more than welcome to attend SEAHIS and
are likely to find it a valuable source of contacts. Every year we meet attendees who
have signed deals resulting from leads at SEAHIS or our sister Summit in
Abu Dhabi, GIOHIS.

Why Bangkok?
Bangkok is now the most visited city in the world, so it’s a
logical place to host a hospitality investment summit. And
people love coming – the Summit is on a Thursday and Friday,
so it’s easy to add on a weekend afterwards.
Bangkok is fun, combining legendary temples and palaces with amazing food, the
famous Thai smiles and superb hotels. There are numerous Thai hotel companies
active in the market, many of which are expanding throughout the world and
Bangkok is also at the centre of the Mekong region, with rapidly expanding
hospitality companies springing up in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.
It’s easy to get to with excellent transport links throughout the region and, for those
with a little time of their hands, a visit to the jungles of the north or the beaches of
the south and east can add some colour and relaxation to the overall trip.

Networking
SEAHIS offers multiple options for networking with speakers,
sponsors and delegates:
1. Two Great Receptions
On the evenings of both Thursday 16th and Friday 17th May, SEAHIS delegates
will be treated to fabulous receptions. The first is generously hosted by the Westin
Grande Sukhumvit at the conference hotel.
Tina Yu Tony Ryan
The second is kindly hosted by the brand new and spectacular Hyatt Regency
Bangkok, just a few minutes’ walk away from the main conference hotel.
Both of these hotels are owned by Grande Asset Hotels and Property Public
Company Limited to whom we extend our deepest thanks for their support.
2. Lunches and coffee breaks
We are aware that most delegates come to network and make contacts rather than
simply to listen to the sessions (though we do believe SEAHIS’s sessions will be well
worth attending). SEAHIS has two long networking lunches as well as plenty of tea
and coffee breaks.
Jake Stein Prab Thakral
3. Sponsors’ area
The networking break area also has a dedicated section where you can meet the
sponsors, discuss their services and the opportunities they have to offer. There are
also plenty of seating areas around the hotel for impromptu chats.
4. Networking online
There is a dedicated networking facility within the SEAHIS website,
www.seahis.com allowing participants to connect with each other in advance of the
summit and make arrangements to meet there. This is opened around two weeks
before the Summit.

Programme
As always, our sessions deal with topics issues impacting
today’s hospitality sector.
While many of our speakers are leading hoteliers from the main ASEAN markets
i.e. Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Hong Kong, we also have senior
executives flying in from Australia, Cambodia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Macau,
Myanmar, the Philippines, the UK and the USA to take part. SEAHIS will be a truly
international event.
You can see details of the speakers, including photos and biographies, at:
Sokoun Chanpreda Jason Friedman www.seahis.com/speakers
The programme is of course liable to change slightly as the event approaches.
