As the world began to embark on the path of normality in 2022 following more than two years of COVID-19 pandemic, the Group’s business remained steady during the year. In particular in Asia, where various countries and regions relaxed their travel restrictions and reopened borders progressively, we have benefited from improved market sentiment.

Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, our hotel operations in Hokkaido, turned in a satisfactory performance in 2022 year-on-year, mainly because Japan opened up its borders in October. In the month of December 2022, the occupancy was 62%, an increase from 38% recorded in the same period in 2021.

In Jakarta, Indonesia, the occupancy of our premium commercial building, Pacific Century Place, Jakarta (“PCP Jakarta”), remained stable throughout the year. At the end of December 31, 2022, the office space occupancy was 81%, compared to 80% the previous year.

In Phang Nga, Thailand, visitors to the golf clubhouse and the 18-hole golf course and the number of golf rounds increased notably during the year, thanks to the Thai government’s decision to ease travel restrictions progressively.

The foundation work for our property development project at 3–6 Glenealy, Central, has been progressing well since its commencement in the first quarter of 2022.

Global tourism arrivals are expected to increase further in 2023. Meanwhile, China’s reopening, together with ebbing inflation and slowing interest rate hikes, is likely to help bring Asia’s economic growth back on track.

Mr. Benjamin Lam, PCPD’s Deputy Chairman and Group Managing Director, said: “As the world is moving on from COVID-19, we take a cautiously optimistic outlook on the real estate sectors in Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. Nonetheless, we will not lose sight of the challenges and uncertainties in 2023, such as inflation and a potential global recession. We will closely monitor market conditions and follow a prudent approach, while staying nimble in the way we operate our businesses in order to capture growth opportunities.”
