9th – 11th October 2011 Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand

The interest in what may be generically referred to as “hotel-related real estate” has grown dramatically over the last decade as more and more hotel projects in many parts of the world, both within destination resort areas, as well as in cities, have introduced a mixed use model.

The Alternative Ownership Conference Asia-Pacific provides a platform for Resort Developers and Operators within south-east Asia to meet and discuss these exciting new concepts, which are now appearing in the region, and which offer developers greater scope and flexibility in their master-planning and execution. Alternative ownership products are more in tune with the needs and preferences of today’s discerning consumers, especially in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis. This Conference will provide an opportunity to learn more about concepts such as Branded Residences, Condo-hotels, Buy-to-Use-and-Let, Destination Clubs, Fractional Ownership and Private Residence Clubs and how they can be successfully introduced into a resort’s menu of recreational real estate offerings.

AOCAP will provide the ideal platform for those who develop, own, operate, market or sell purpose-built mixed use resorts, incorporating shared ownership, as well as those contemplating the potential conversion or renovation of an existing development. Delegates will receive a greater understanding of this exciting and highly innovative industry and gain insight into how operating synergies can be enhanced and how incremental revenues and predictable occupancies can be achieved.

AOCAP is an unmissable event, which year on year delivers an abundance of knowledge, insight and understanding to domestic and international hotel & resort owners and operators, resort management and shared ownership companies, fractional sales & marketing companies, real estate developers, tourism authorities, lifestyle companies and the press.
