    PaTTaYa HoTel MaRKeT oVeRVieWThe Pattaya hotel market is still suering rom last Novembers airport closure in Bangkok and romthe more recent political unrest in April. Hotel operators are expected to suer even more ollowingthe global economic crisis and panic over the type-A (H1N1) inuenza pandemic.

    Tourists and investors have chosen to holiday and invest in other countries, as they have lost all

    confdence in Thailand ollowing the recent fascos. It is noted that the occupancy rate in Pattayahas dropped sharply due to visitors rom key destinations such as China, Russia, Taiwan and Europeavoiding the city in large numbers. However, tourists rom India and other neighbouring South EastAsian countries continue to arrive in volume.

    Pattaya has the resilience to bounce back rom this downturn, just as it has done so in the past. Thecity has a good inrastructure which includes several international standard hospitals, schools andgol courses, well renowned sporting and yachting acilities, together with world class shopping,dining and entertainment venues. Pattaya will always pull through a crisis and go on to attractmillions o visitors rom all over the globe, mainly due to the wide array o attractions and servicesavailable to tourists.

    However, it must not be orgotten that in recent years along with the citys incredible growth hascome poor quality zoning and management. Pattaya city desperately needs to address its zoning

    issues in order to improve upon its current global and domestic image o sleaze and crime, i it wantsto attract more sophisticated and auent visitors.

    Pattaya has recently welcomed much needed investment rom the Thai government to include aboat pier, cultural events, music estivals, motor racing, a convention hall, a new public hospitaland low cost housing. These eorts will no doubt bring about optimism in Pattaya once again andwe expect to see a growth in visitor numbers towards the end o this year, bringing with it a muchneeded kick start to the local economy.

    It should also be considered that i urther political tension and violence reveals itsel once more, ithas the potential to bring lasting damage not only to Pattaya, but to the entire Thai tourism industryas a whole.

    The global slowdown has put the tourism industry in Thailandand around the world in the doldrums. Thailand has experienceda large decline in hotel occupancy in many regions and touristarrivals have allen sharply. However, the economic problemshave been exacerbated by Thailands political conicts, whichled to the week-long closure o Suvarnabhumi Airport in late-November/early-December 2008. The economic slowdown willprompt companies to cut corporate travel, meetings and incentiveexpenses. On the other hand, it is possible that many companieswill relocate conerences to this region to beneft rom cost savings.

    We believe that, during these difcult times, many companieswill still be proactive in training sta and implementing team-building activities as this will be a good opportunity to prepareor the return o stronger revenues and growth cycles. Thus,we see potential or the meetings, incentives, conerences andexhibitions (MICE) sector in the Japanese and other marketswhere currencies are weak against the US dollar and the Euro.

    Room Rates

    The Average Daily Rate (ADR) o hotels in Pattaya reveals a biggap. The lowest ADR is less than THB1,000 per night and thehighest is over THB4,500 per night. The majority o hotels in

    Pattaya, approximately 18,336 rooms, have an average ADR lessthan THB1,000 per night.

    The ADR o 4-star hotels is the range o THB2,500-3,500 pernight, while that o 5-star hotels is higher than THB3,500 pernight.

    Business travelers, especially rom the Asia-Pacifc region,are more price-conscious than ever beore and are spendingmore prudently. Corporate expenditure, such as on travel andentertainment, is now being scrutinised more closely. During thiscurrent situation, many hotel operators are applying price-

    cutting strategies. When operators start to cut prices, it is otendifcult to increase the rates back to their prior levels becausecustomers expectations change. The successul and surviving

    hotels are those that oer attractive promotions to potentialcustomers. Promotions and price cuts are dierent strategies.One o the most important actors is to cater to the needs obusiness travelers who will be making ewer, shorter and cheapertrips during the slowdown. Hotel operators should, thereore,ocus on value-or-money packages.

    Outlook:

    The economic mainstay o Pattaya is tourism and over the past ten years, thenumber o tourists has jumped sharply rom 3.0 to 8.0 million. Pattaya is currentlygoing through difcult times, as are many other markets, and its strength is as a

    resort city that is able to attract a higher number o tourists than Phuket and Samuicombined. I U-Tapao Airport had direct ights rom Hong Kong, we would see ahuge resurgence in the Pattaya market.

    Pattaya has the right environment or branded resorts, with the Bang Saray area,located south o Jomtien Beach, ideal or high-end resort developments. Inact, Bang Saray is superior to Phuket because o its proximity to SuvarnabhumiInternational Airport, yet has similar topography to the southern island, withmountains, beaches and very lush vegetation. Moreover, Pattaya is set to welcomea comprehensive master plan that promises to transorm the resort city into anorderly, green and clean destination. Thus, we believe that, in the near uture,the number o international visitors to Pattaya could top 12 million. Pattaya alsowelcomes repeat visitors who oil the engine o the local economy.
