I’m an Average Person Developing Hotels & Resorts in South East Asia. You Can Be Too

Like many, I’ve always dreamed of owning a chain of lavish hotels and resorts. But without experience or millions in the bank, it seemed unattainable. Yet today I’m living that dream – and you can too with the right approach. I’m an average person developing hotels & resorts in South East Asia. You can be too!

Just a some 15 years ago, I held a regular job. While I loved to travel, the hotel business seemed off limits. The barriers were clear:

– No Background – I had zero experience in hospitality.

– No Funds – My savings could maybe furnish one hotel room.

– No Connections – I didn’t have developer friends throwing deals my way.

But I uncovered an accessible path forward by thinking creatively. Here are the key steps I took:

Partnering Up

I connected with industry veterans who provided the expertise I lacked. Together we formed a hotel investment and management group.

Leveraging Local Knowledge

I did live in Southeast Asia where development costs are lower and tourism is booming. Immersing myself in this market was invaluable.

Seeking Hidden Gems

For our first project, we targeted a dated hotel in an emerging area with redevelopment potential. The location and bones were solid but needed tender love and care!

• The hotel needed extra care and renovations to upgrade it.
• Even though the property was dated and needed work, it had good bones/foundation.
• With some tender loving care put into renovations and improvements, it could shine again.

Creative Financing

We pooled funds from private backers seeking solid returns on renovation projects to fund renovations. Overseas investors can own hotel units through strata title structures.

Maximising Value

By elevating the property’s amenities and style through strategic renovations, we boosted occupancies and rates significantly.

Within just a few years, we’ve developed five thriving hospitality properties across Vietnam, Thailand and Bali. Despite my average background, by embracing partnership opportunities and thinking outside the box, I’m living my wildest hotel ownership dreams.

You don’t need deep pockets or decades of experience to break into this exciting industry. With the right partners, market knowledge, property strategy and financing – your resort empire aspirations can become reality too! The possibilities are waiting – take the first step!
