International Experts Weigh In On Hospitality Trends In Southeast Asia

B2B Cambodia interviewed three international experts based in the Asia-Pacific – Bousserind Comson from HotStats, Govinda Singh from Colliers Asia, and Jackie Douglas from HSMAI Asia-Pacific – while attending THAIFEX - HOREC Asia 2024, to discuss key ongoing trends and the future of Southeast Asia’s hospitality industry.

Key highlights from the interviews:

  • Experts predict a larger shift towards luxury hotels with international standards in Cambodia, led by brands like Rosewood Hotel;
  • Trends include increasing focus on lifestyle, particularly related to food and beverage, and the importance of optimising restaurant and bar revenues;
  • Having a focused marketing plan targeting the right audiences for Cambodian tourism should be prioritised over trying to cast a broad net to attract customers/guests;
  • Smaller hospitality businesses can save costs by benchmarking data and improving operations.
