As compared to the other parts of Asia Pacific, travel and tourism sector in Japan has been dependent majorly on domestic rather than international demand. Japan has been perceived as a high-cost destination for inbound tourism. However, performance of Japan hotel sector has seen tremendous growth over a period of time due to the recent developments and reforms supported by several initiatives taken by government.
In this transition period, the hotel Industry has opened doors for various international investors and operators. Also lower interest rates and access to debt in Japan add to the attractiveness of investments in the hotel sector. Seeing the growing opportunity in this sector, developers are therefore making constant efforts to maximize occupancy rate. Additionally, repositioning and rebranding of product and new approaches have been adopted for the deployment of capital through mergers and acquisition, refinancing of assets and the development of strategic alliances.
Strong economic recovery of the country and aggressive marketing actions adopted by leading international airlines have acted as major opportunities to invest in Japan hotel industry. In addition, increased International flight slots at major international airports in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and local airports and expanded booking channels (e-commerce, media advertisement, etc.) have fueled the growth of hotel sector in Japan, according to the Research Analyst, Ken Research
