Banyan Tree Holdings Limited (the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) would like to issue a business update.
- The Group closed 1Q22 with positive operating profit, and improved topline performance against 1Q21.
Group-wide hotel operations continue to see recovery, with the easing of travel restrictions. All markets in the Asia Pacific with the exception of China experienced positive growth in occupancies.
Phuket and the Maldives which are large contributors to the Hotel Investments segment, continue to see strong demand due to increased airlift with long haul destinations and easier travel access for vaccinated travellers. Hotel teams continue to execute a rate lift strategy after achieving stable occupancies through 1Q22, with an overall RevPAR growth of 46% against 1Q21.
In the Maldives, properties have outpaced the revenue performance as compared against 2019 pre-pandemic levels.
In 1Q22, the property business segment witnessed strong sales across all active property projects. The Laguna Beachside condominium project in Phuket launched in January was well received and contributed to over 60% of total sales value for the business segment. Laguna Phuket continues to outpace competitors as a high-value destination for property buyers seeking safe-haven investments. Total sales value in 2022 is projected to exceed 2021 performance.
Banyan Tree Group continues to expand its regional footprint through the multi-brand pipeline; the Group expects to open 11 properties in 2022, including a debut in two new destinations - Japan and Saudi Arabia. The Group will introduce the Banyan Tree, Dhawa and Garrya in Kyoto, slated to open from now through 2024. The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) has announced an agreement to operate in Saudi Arabia under the Banyan Tree brand through the ACCOR partnership.
The Group also announced the launch of the new wellbeing brand - Banyan Tree Veya, with the Banyan Tree Veya Phuket opening on 18th March 2022. A total of four Banyan Tree Veya including in the Maldives, Mozambique, and Mexico are set to open in the next few years.
Whilst Buahan in Ubud Bali, a Banyan Tree Escape resort, has started soft operation and is set to officially open in June 2022 - pioneering a "No walls, No doors" concept. This brand extension symbolises the Banyan Tree brand's vision and commitment to creating immersive experiences combining deep nature and sustainable design.
