Revenue management systems are used by leading hotel brands around the world. However, it can be argued that smaller and independent properties in Indonesia need the technology even more than larger hotels given that limited room volumes mean every pricing decision counts. With the right investment in processes, technology and staff, it’s possible for small scale independent hoteliers to not just survive, but thrive in today’s competitive hotel environment.

It goes without saying that independent hoteliers in Indonesia and across the APAC region often find themselves in challenging situations: they often don’t have the resources to compete with the large global hotel chains in terms of marketing budgets and investment in third party booking channels, or have the well-recognised brand name that goes handin-hand with these activities. Smaller, independent hotels frequently have fewer resources compared to larger chain hotels, and often do not have a dedicated revenue manager.

With
not just survive, but thrive in today’s competitive hotel

This means that the revenue strategy is left up to the general manager, director of sales and marketing, reservations manag er, or even the accountant– all of whom already have very busy schedules filled with other responsibilities. This lack of a dedicated resource and isolated operat ing systems mean that rooms are often either overpriced or under-priced, which ultimately turns guests away or secures guests at a lower-then-ideal booking rate for the hotel.

Every room counts in smaller scale inde pendent hotels, which means that pric ing rooms incorrectly has a much more noticeable impact on the property’s over all revenue performance. If there is a pricing error at a larger hotel, it’s easier to “bury” the rate mistake or absorb any short-term revenue loss due to a greater volume of rooms and bookings.

Similar to larger hotels, small, indepen dent properties are constantly generating data – such as that used in developing demand forecasts. Hotel data comes from a multitude of sources, changes rapidly, and is critical to making proper pricing decisions. A good forecast as part of an ongoing revenue management program can assist room rate decision making, staff allocation, property maintenance and a range of critical hotel operations. Using data and analytics from an accu rate forecast is the best way to determine marketing and pricing strategies for the future.

Data should be detailed and be both his torical and forward-looking. Historically, the data should include (at least) the number of occupied rooms, coupled with revenue by market segment per day.

Also, hoteliers need to ensure they include the number of rooms and reve nue on the books by day (and by market segment) for at least the next 90 days. If data is collected every day it will allow the hotel to establish simple booking pace forecasts by segment and day of week, from which they will be able to compare it to historical data. If done consistently, this will allow hoteliers to quickly make any changes when demand picks up and tweak their strategies and decisions accordingly.

One of the biggest challenges with man ual revenue management practices is the inability to collect quality data in a timely manner, while being able to use it before it is obsolete. Put simply, without automation, it is difficult to compile and analyse all this continuous information accurately and effectively. Global hotel brands equip their properties with rev enue management technology for this reason. Automated revenue systems and technologies allow revenue managers to move beyond data collection to focus on revenue strategy, leveraging every oppor tunity in good times or working with the sales and marketing teams to stimulate demand and lock in business for any soft ening in market conditions.

Hotels with a revenue management system simply have better aggregation of data, leading to better insights and more granular forecasts earlier on, which ultimately delivers better performance.

Importantly, a revenue management system can also help independent Indonesian hoteliers balance the right business mix and address length of stay issues. Many independent hotels fall into the trap of focusing on peak nights and often accept lower-rated business when it isn’t needed, which simply trades down rev enue. With fewer rooms in smaller scale inde pendent hotels, managing booking pace and capturing optimal reservations by accepting the most valuable demand across arrival dates and lengths of stay is critical to maximising revenues.

So, as an independent hotelier, how do you compete with “the big boys”? How can you gain access to the same set of tools and insights so that you can provide the maximum return to your asset owner in good or challenging times?

It’s simple: get a revenue management system and even the playing field. Time is today’s most valuable currency, and if you are paying a tal ented revenue manager to compile data into endless spreadsheets and siloed reports, frankly you are wasting your money.

Revenue management systems are best viewed as an investment in an essential business technology platform or tool for your business, rather than a “nice to have” expense. The insights, efficiencies and operational benefits are significant, driving measurable performance as well as profitability. Hotels of all types typi cally experience 3 to 8 percent uplift in RevPAR when they move to an automated revenue management system, and in IDeaS’ experience, investment in a revenue management system generally pays back within a four month win dow, delivering both tangible and intangible benefits to the independent hotelier.

A SMALL SOAP FOR A BIG HOPE

ANANTARA ULUWATU BALI RESORT

Every year in Bali 75 tons of soap are thrown away in hotels and villas which have only been used once or twice by guests and the numbers are growing while many people across the island have no access to basic hygiene products.

The team was moved by their programme “Soap For Hope” and acted immediately. Soap for Hope is actually the brainchild of Sealed Air Corp, a cleaning and sanitation solutions provider, and it aims to recycle lightly used hotel guest soap and distribute it to underprivileged families and communities in Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

nantara Uluwatu Bali Resort is pleased to announce a collaboration with ROLE Foundation, a foundation that concentrate on stopping land-based waste from getting into the oceans and creating sustainable jobs to protect the livelihoods of coastal communities.
HOT | NEWS
A

The project was first launched in 2003 in the UAE in collaboration with couple of hotels, and today it operates with over 50 hotels in 10 countries to divert soap from landfills and donate recycled soap to those who need it most. When the soap arrive at the reprocessing center, the used hospitality soap is broken down, sanitized and reconstructed incorporating a range of organic fragrances such as lemongrass and jasmine. They then distribute the finished product to orphanages, the elderly and disadvantaged people in Bali for free and sell some of the soap in the founda tion shop.

“This is a very good program for us to join as we can help the local community. Children are getting sick because of poor hygiene resulting from a lack of access to soap and we used to throw away so much of it every day.

During the month of November and December we manage to deliver 25 kg of soap. Such actions are important and have a great impact on our team members as well as this program shines light on clever and useful recycling.

Bali relise heavily on tourism as source of income, so it is in the interest of local people to improve and preserve cleanliness throughout the island an it’s beaches,” explained Dimi tri Delepierre, Executive Assistant Manager of Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort.

The results are less solid waste, new skill sets and means of livelihood for local people and better sanitation in villages.

Five Ways Property Managers Can Cater to the Fitness-Minded Traveller

Although adding a fitness centre to your hospitality property might fall under the category of “nice to have”, fitness spaces and offerings are becoming the industry standard. As an example, 84 percent of American hotels had a fitness centre in 2014. In addition, 53 percent of travellers always or often exercise when they’re on the road –

That’s a large chunk of business you could be missing out on if you don’t have a gym or fitness facility. Having a fitness offering on your property can make the difference between a guest choosing your property or picking a competitor’s.

However, a staggering 55 percent of business travellers have walked out of a hotel gym due to facilities that did not meet their expectations, highlighting the importance of having a good fitness offering. To ensure that your guests remain satisfied customers, it’s important to invest in one that meets guests’ needs.

Here are a few easy-to-implement tips for budgets of any size that will help you attract fitness-minded travelers and keep them coming back to your hotel time and again.

BEYOND THE

CENTRE FITNESS AS A WHOLE-BODY AFFAIR INVEST IN THE FUNDAMENTALS

If in doubt, ask! If you are thinking about adding a fitness facility to your property, take some time to do some research as part of the planning process. Go and visit gyms near your property – what do they offer, and what could you replicate in your facility? See if you can do a casual workout session to truly measure the experience. Secondly, survey your guests and ask them what they’d like from an onsite gym, and critically, if they would use it. When it comes time to launch it, demonstrating that you listened to what your guests asked for will be worth its weight in customer service gold.

NO PROBLEM
IN DOUBT, ASK! NO FITNESS ROOM?

HOT | TALKS

Remember That Fitness Goes Beyond the Fitness Centre.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle goes beyond the fitness room. In order to keep fit travellers loyal to your establishment, you should make it easier for travellers to maintain both their fitness levels and their diets. Make sure that your property’s dining options (both in-room, at the breakfast bar, and in the hotel restau rant) have healthy offerings so that fit travellers can keep up with healthy eating.

Think of Fitness as a Whole-Body Affair

Although most people associate fitness with running or lifting weights, health-minded travelers make whole-body health a priority. You can take advantage of this mindset by adding valuable services like spa experi ences, private training sessions, and group classes to your fitness offerings. In some instances, it might even make sense to create a wellness-weekend package that offers your guests personal train ing, fitness classes, and a spa session. By offering these services alongside your regular fitness amenity, you have the opportunity to enhance your guests’ stay experience and increase your bottom line.

Invest in the Fundamentals

While it might seem like a great idea to invest in the trendiest equipment, it’s best to stick to tried-and-true gym equipment like dumbbells, treadmills, ellipticals, and station ary bicycles.

Most exercisers are already familiar with these pieces of equipment, so it makes it easier for them to recreate their regular workout on the road. More importantly, when you decide to invest in equipment, try to buy commercial-grade pieces with a service plan whenever possible. Even though it might cost more money up front, investing in high-quality equipment will ultimately keep guests satisfied –commercial-grade products last longer and a service plan ensures that if a problem arises, it can be fixed immediately

No Fitness Room? No Problem

If you don’t have the option to add a fitness amenity to your space, there are still ways that you can attract the health-minded trav eller. Think about partnering with a local gym that’s close to your property to make their space available to guests, or make in-room fitness equipment (think small dumb bells, on-demand exercise videos, jump ropes, and yoga mats) available to guests. Also be sure that your front desk staff is aware of local studios, walking and running trails, and fitness options so that they can help guests find their fitness fix.

More and more people are trying to live healthy and active lives, and you can play a role in helping them do that. By making fitness a priority in your establishment, you’ll likely see an increase in new business, customer loyalty, and overall guest satisfaction.

AUTOMATION AND THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

Given the high costs and manpower shortages experienced in the hospitality sector in general, automation and hospitality are two words rarely used in the same sentence. Other indus tries have embraced automation, manufacturing has massively increased its productivity thanks to machines, and Robotics Pro cess Automation (RPA) led by companies such as UiPath promi ses to replace the repetitive, rules-based tasks present in many financial institutions, yet local hotels seem to be free of such te chnology, despite the presence of many repetitive, rules-based jobs.

This could be about to change the back-end of our hotels. Here are three areas in which automation could transform the makeup of hotels:

The robot housekeeper – A few years ago, researchers at the Uni versity of Berkeley introduced us to Brett, a robot that could pick up and fold towels, (see video here), taking about 24 ½ minutes for each towel. While this may seem slow, to the point of ridicule, the fact that a robot is able to detect, scan and manipulate a ‘soft’ object is impressive. Fast forward a few years, and the robot is now able to connect Lego pieces, hang shirts on a hanger and fix a toy. Still no human, but robots are getting better, slowly, and it may not be long before they are employed to assist current housekeepers

The end of the accountant? – Hotel accounts departments are also ripe for automation. Dozens of employees are hired to pro cess the hundreds of invoices, claims and bills that run through the hotel on a daily basis. This often requires little more than checking the invoice, copy-pasting data, transferring informa tion – rules based, repetitive tasks. Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is software that uses computer systems exactly as a human does – via the user interface (e.g. Windows). Highly accurate, and never making mistakes, RPA does the monotonous tasks that hu mans simply are not designed to do, and can significantly redu ce cost and improve efficiency for (often cash-strapped) hotels. Counting the cost – Technology can now detect physical items too. SAP software allows Airline-service crews to scan the num ber of paper cups they bring into an airplane. Hotels still em ploy people to conduct inventory checks on a daily basis for everything from the amount of shampoo and soap to cans of tomatoes and bottles of olive oil. Counting and recounting stock takes hours, and is the kind of mundane While technology has been added to the front-of-house in an effort to make the guest experience more efficient and smoo ther, it seems that back-of-house is too often neglected. From RPA to robot housekeepers, hotels will soon have the ability to create some real cost savings for the hotel of the future.

HOTEL & BRANDED RESIDENCES UPDATE

Quantity over quality: be careful what you wish for.

After a very challenging 2015 for Bali, occupancy was up by more than 4% in 2016 bringing a whiff of fresh air and hope… but at what cost? Hotels’ enjoyment of solid occupancy across categories (excluding luxury) was driven by increasing foreign direct arrivals, a slowing in new hotel openings and a further slashing of rates. With the Thai government banning ‘zerodollar tours’ this has been an opportunity for Bali to swoop in and attract these poor yielding groups to fill rooms. With the government’s ambitious arrivals targets, it is foreseeable that the volume of such tourists is likely to increase but the long term benefits to the destination are arguable. Rates will continue to decline, Bali’s infrastructure will continue to be stressed and higher yielding more discerning guests may be turned off. It is a tight rope that is being walked with a quantity over quality policy. With the explosion in budget accommodation, private villa rentals and huge numbers of new rooms in all hotel categories in the last 5 years it is easy to see how volume bums in beds relieves immediate mortgage pressures for hotel owners. However, hotel ownership and destination management is not a short term game. Nurturing a destination, the maintenance of infrastructure and the development of long term sustainable development goals are essential to ensure Bali continues attracting people from all corners of the globe and across all rate categories.

BALI TOURISM ARRIVALS

2015 recap: domestic market up 12% y-o-y to around 7.1 million and foreign arrivals also up 6% y-o-y to 4 million bringing the total to over 11 million for the first time.

Foreign arrivals surged year end 2016 up by a significant 23% to 4.9 million. This was helped by the lack of political and natural hiccups, visa-free access ramping up and more direct flights to Bali which smashed the 4.2 million arrivals’ target for 2016.

With Indonesia’s central administration continuing their efforts to attract more foreign arrivals, the government boosted the Ministry of Tourism’s budget from IDR 300 billion in 2015 to IDR 6.1 trillion in 2016. It is understood that around 80% of the budget was allocated for tourism promotion, and partly to finance tourism campaigns abroad.

Indonesia’s leisure tourism is still largely concentrated on the island of Bali, which attracted more than 30% of foreign tourist arrivals in 2015. In 2016 with foreign arrivals just under 5 million year-end, it is clear that Bali remains the number 1 destination for holidaymakers. E-commerce providers including Traveloka, Pegipegi and Blibli report “Bali” as their most searched destination followed by Bandung and Jakarta.

The island is expecting another boost in air connectivity from Garuda Indonesia in 2017. As China’s importance as a source market grows overtaking Singapore, Malaysia and snapping on the heels of Australia; Garuda Indonesia plans to open a new route from Bali to Chengdu in China. The

direct flight will start in January and is scheduled to fly four times a week. In an effort to tap into this vast and growing Chinese market, Sriwijaya Air has also confirmed four main cities will be added to their daily flight routes: Hangzou, Nanjing, Wuhan and Changsa. The Ministry of Tourism has also recognized Eastern Europe as an emerging market to Bali with increased arrivals recorded, assisted in part by LOT Polish Airlines launching direct flights from Warsaw to Denpasar in 2016.

NGURAH RAI

Ngurah Rai International Airport remains the top foreign direct arrivals contributor for Indonesia, followed by Soekarno-Hatta, Jakarta and Hang Nadim, Batam. From January to November 2016, Ngurah Rai recorded 6% growth y-o-y, with Bali arrivals making up a whopping 40% of total arrivals to Indonesia. Batam recorded the highest growth rate of 9% y-o-y, meanwhile, Jakarta remains flat impacted by the global and local economic malaise.

Soekarno Hatta’s Terminal 3 Ultimate limped into operation in August 2016, serving domestic flights by national carrier Garuda Indonesia only. The goal of serving international flights (with the exception of budget airlines) by Q2 2017 seems optimistic. The government’s next project will be to improve the public transportation that will connect Jakarta city center with the airport.

Following the signing of a decree waiving visa requirements for a total of 169 countries, including Australia (which was politically excluded for many months), year-end 2016 Australia remains the number one foreign source market to Bali making up 23% of total foreign arrivals, up 18% over the previous year.

Arrivals from the UK grew a significant 32%, France by 26% and Germany was up a noteworthy 28% y-o-y, helped by improved European connectivity through daily direct flights via Dubai.

China continued its strong arrivals growth year-end, up almost 300,000 people y-o-y (43%) to just under 1 million tourists. It was the 2nd fastest growth market by percentage and the largest by volume. With more flights scheduled to connect Bali and cities in China, we expect this volume to explode further and China to become the most important arrivals source market to Bali in Q1 2017.

• South Korean arrivals fell, as did Singaporean arrivals year-end 2016, down by 2 and 7% respectively;

• Growth from India was 58% y-o-y and likely to increase further in 2017 with Garuda inaugurating the first direct link between India and Indonesia in December 2016 (“direct” flights linking Mumbai to Jakarta via Bangkok thrice weekly);

• Arrivals from the USA increased by a strong 27%, perhaps helped by investmests in Times Square billboard advertising made by the Ministry of Tourism for the first time in 2016;

KEY FACTORS AFFECTING BALI 2016

Lower spend per visitor: a 2016 survey by the Bank of Indonesia highlights that the typical Chinese tourist spends around one quarter of that spent by a typical European or Australian tourist. With the proportion of Chinese tourists increasing the economic benefits of each new tourist is reducing.

Shorter length of stay: the average length of stay in Bali YTD September 2016 fell to 3.11 days, down from 3.20 days y-o-y. The sub-market suffering the greatest was Denpasar, dropping from 4.53 to 2.73 days YTD September 2016. This is a double-whammy for hotels, with lower yield per tourist and a shorter length of stay.

Delayed hotel openings: Owners / investors are delaying the opening of new properties as market performance continues to endure the pressure of new rooms and poor rates. Supply growth in 2015 and 2016 is estimated at around 5%, much lower than the 14% increase recorded in 2014. The pipeline of new hotels remains massive but the delays are allowing the forces of supply and demand to work their magic.

Increased occupancy and decreased ADR: the following sections will highlight performance across categories yearend 2016 but it is very interesting to note that the above demographic shift in arrivals is causing hotels to lower rates to achieve marginal bumps in occupancy BUT in most cases with reduced RevPAR.

Hotel Performance 2011 – 2016 (IDR)

RevPAR suffering a 6% fall on the back of an 11% fall in 2015. Although arrivals to the island have been steadily increasing this year, the shift of nationality and weaker spending power has forced hotels in this segment to rethink their pricing strategy. With the huge luxury resort pipeline, it is believed that it will take many years for the Luxury segment to rebound from this downfall and it is arguable that it will also require a rethink of the central government’s quantity over quality tourism strategy.

Luxury 2011 – 2016 (IDR) ry

The above graph highlights performance across Bali since 2011 with some telling results to YE 2016:

• IDR ADR increased y-o-y until 2016 (whereas USD ADR has decreased y-o-y since 2012);

• occupancy has fluctuated from a peak in 2011 to a low year-end 2015; and most importantly;

• IDR RevPAR increased from 2011 to 215 before dipping slightly in 2016 (whereas USD RevPAR has decreased over the same period, remaining flat in 2016).

There are some small improvements YTD September 2016 however:

Occupancy has been solid all year, as shown in the 4% points increase year-end 2016. ADR in IDR and USD tells a contrary story, increasing 8% and falling 5% respectively. This, of course plays into RevPAR which also shows opposite results, up in IDR and down significantly in USD.

Upper Upscale (USD 151 – 349): This segment shows more promise as 2016 occupancy performance shows a 5% increase. ADR was sacrificed to keep occupancy rate buoyant amidst the pressure of new supply and changing arrivals demographics in 2016. With an estimated 74 new hotels opening in the next four years, arrivals growth will need to continue growing at similar rates to the 23% y-o-y figure if this segment is to balance occupancy and ADR with a resultant increase in RevPAR.

As discussed above, the strong arrivals growth has not been enough to maintain hotel rate performance. Hotels have been adjusting their rate strategy in response to the changing arrivals demographics and the results of which are felt across Bali in each of the listed sub-markets. Jimbaran weathered the storm the strongest with a small 1% fall in USD ADR, followed by Others. In each of the submarkets Nusa Dua / Benoa, Kuta & Legian / Seminyak, USD ADR levels fell the furthest, a high 6%. As the mass market is more price-sensitive a longer recovery time will be required to push rates back up following the slashing currently underway.

It is the Others market (the less densely populated accommodation areas) that exhibits the weakest average length of stay (2.3 days only) which may indicate that it is a side-trip and not the main destination for a tourist’s Bali holiday. This is to be read with care however, as it dropped

LOOKING FORWARD: PIPELINE

In 2015, Horwath HTL recorded a total of 335 hotels and more than 40,000 rooms in operation ranging from luxury to economy. It is understood that a further 12 hotels opened in the first 9 months of 2016 or an additional 1,600 rooms. Within our database another 74 hotels are expected to open between 2017 and 2020 representing a 20% increase over current hotel stock. Our figures are believed to be conservative with other secondary sources indicating inventory increases of around 25%.

West Bali (Kuta, Tuban, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu, Tanah Lot and Tabanan) remain the preferred development spot with around 50% of the total new supply expected within these areas.

Inventory in Central Bali is expected to increase by around 24% by 2020 adding more pressure to a weakening Ubud market performance. Ubud is transforming from an area known for its luxury and tranquillity into a busy yoga, healthy living, food & beverage entertainment zone with accommodations matching every price point and an access road that is well past its prime. As new midscale properties open in Ubud we expect that the areas average rate will continue to adjust to its new dynamic. We have no new developments on file for North Bali although the rumoured

The 2017 to 2020 pipeline is dominated by 3 star products representing about 38% of total new supply and more than 5,600 rooms across Bali. Less investment cost with a typically faster return period appear the safest option for investors at the moment. Shifting market dynamics should play well for this segment although the existing plethora of options and very low rates should raise concerns about the potential returns for this segment.

The last word…

As mentioned above, a 2016 survey conducted by Bank Indonesia (BI) shows that the average daily spend of tourists fell a disturbing 34% from USD 190 to USD 126 between 2014 and 2015. On top of that, average length of stay over the same period also dropped 6% from 8.19 days to 7.66 days per stay. The same survey shows that among the top 5 Bali source markets, Australia is the highest spender (almost 4 times higher than China) with typically much longer ALOS. In other words, 1 Australian tourist spends the same per day as 4 Chinese tourists.

When the government focuses on increasing the number of visitor arrivals, it makes sense to aggressively campaign Mainland China because it is only a short to medium haul from Indonesia with increasing direct flights and a very large population giving it the greatest potential for growth. It is essential however to foster other markets simultaneously to balance quantity and quality of foreign arrivals. The Thai experience is one to learn from, having aggressively targeted arrivals growth over the last decade they have now shifted focus to increasing yield per tourist.

BALI HOTEL RESIDENCES

Last year, island resort-grade real estate faced volatility in both pricing and absorption rate, with developers softening sales prices to secure transaction volume in a time of economic recovery. Nevertheless, a positive outlook for hotel residences is expected as new developments are branching out from the midscale and upscale segments into new products which are being priced at lower entry points.

In light of the current economic situation and an oversupply of three and four star hotels, properties have been facing tighter profit margins which has in turn affected the sales of residences in the segment. Since unit

owners of these properties typically invest in financial returns, hotel performance is essential to entice new buyers.

Although investors have previously benefitted from guaranteed yields, the sector is now facing volatility from the developer’s side as operators are finding it harder to deliver the promised yield. That said, the market is seeing more rebranding within the past few years, with operator changes now becoming more commonplace. Another trend is that new developments are shifting their sales strategy to limiting commitments to purchasers by lowering sales prices and eliminating guaranteed yields.

Similarly, some notable recently launched projects are moving towards the luxury segment, as developers expect demand to be less susceptible to an economic downturn. This is reflected in some of the newer project offerings including the Residences at Mandarin Oriental, The Sterling at Worldhotel Dreamland Resort and Bali National Golf Villas which will be managed by Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts.

Viewing the macro real estate market, one of the highest level issues in 2016 that is extending into this year is the Indonesia’s tax amnesty program. This has gained widespread adoption from domestic businesses and high net worth individuals. While it has created a certain level of short term pain in terms of liquidity, on the flip side it is unleashing new investment into the property sector.

Moving into the overseas buying market the amnesty has created a larger degree of uncertainly with foreign owners, especially in Bali’s significantly nominee segment. It’s still too early to see the impact this will have on units as they come into the resale market under this type of structure but presently sentiment remains mixed.

One final trend seen during last year had been in a rising number of land transactions, most notably in South Bali. Pricing levels on a broad basis peaked in 2014/2015, and this year sellers have been trading property at off peak levels of 10-25%, which is moving the market towards more rationale values and should spur new development opportunities.

DEMAND OVERVIEW

Geographic Source Markets

Buyers of hotel residences are mainly Indonesian investors for all product tiers. However, we have noted a preferences for properties yielding high investment returns in the mid to upscale segments, whereas the presence of lifestyle investment is more prevalent in ultra-luxury products such as the Bvlgari Residences.

Presently, a large number of project marketing and sales offices are based in Jakarta and Surabaya with limited promotion outside the country. The lack of international exposure coupled with complex foreign ownership issues has continued to be an inhibitor to broader overseas buyers.

Nevertheless, recent destination exposure of Bali towards Chinese tourists through media channels and direct traffic has increased interest for all real estate segments. Sales of multiple units per transaction in the midscale segment and single property buyers in the luxury segment are rising.

Foreign Property Ownership Regulation

While the current government has talked about wider reforms in foreign property ownership, this remains a talking point with no firm legislation yet.

Carrying forward from 2015, a new regulation which was expected to ease restrictions on foreign ownership of properties in Bali has left little impact in attracting new

investment as the revised law only grants legal foreign residents the “right of use” (Hak Pakai) for a maximum of 80 years. The practical application of this has not gained widespread acceptance. Furthermore, the value must exceed IDR 2 billion for apartments and IDR 3 billion for landed houses, whereby management of Hak Pakai properties face many restrictions on rentals as owners must transfer the rights to another party should they leave the country for more than one year.

Additionally, developers mainly target domestic buyers due to their bigger market size. Thus, most projects are registered under “right to own” (Hak Malik) which are eligible for Indonesians only. Therefore, foreign buyers with no residency are still pushed towards a general lease agreement, nominee agreement, or a PMA (Penanaman Modal Asing) model, which allows ownership of properties under a company’s name and is subject to tax.

Currently the market is experiencing a price drop and strong push in volume sales due to soft economic conditions. Developers are now dropping unit prices in exchange for no guaranteed yields, with new projects such as The Sterling at Worldhotel Dreamland Resort and Springhill Villas & Resorts adopting this practice. This strategy is resonating with both developers and investors, whereby putting less pressure on operators and allowing buyers to obtain a lower pricing point. Another factor contributing to a decrease in the average market price is the sellout of some legacy developments.

Bukit Pandawa is expected to become a major competitor of Nusa Dua as an integrated resort, which will feature the Residences at Mandarin Oriental and other international brands.

The average built-up sales price for villas is USD4,314 per square meter in 2016, which is lower than that of hotel condominiums/apartments. The 13% y-o-y drop has been driven by a reduction in prices of launched projects as a consequence of a slowdown in sales. There has also been some project cancellations in this tier.

As a result of lower prices, the overall sales absorption rate is rising with transactions broadly averaging 1.95 villas per month compared to 1.02 last year. The increased pace has been stimulated by three-bedroom villas, which has reversed its position in 2016 to become the fastest selling configuration.

Average built-up sales prices in the resale market are 32% lower for condominium/apartment units and 7% higher for villas when compared to the primary segment.

Currently, the majority of resale hotel residences are in three and four star properties, with condominiums/ apartments and villas resale markets averaging USD3,045 and USD2,235 per square meter, respectively.

Three-bedroom configurations have the lowest average built-up sales price at USD3,774 per square meter.

Built-up Size by Villa upbyypType

Source: C9 Hotelworks Market Research

The built-up size of three-bedroom villas has the highest increase compared to last year, with an average of 37% additional built-up area.

Secondary prices for well situated villas have reflected capital appreciation over the original sales price because many villa projects offer freehold ownership, which commands higher pricing than leasehold projects. With a land component in the transaction, owners have benefited on the resale value which has been stimulated by the land market valuation. Despite an appreciation for villas, the inventory available in the resale market is substantially lower than that of condominium/apartment units because owners typically invest for lifestyle purposes, especially for luxury properties and typically hold for longer periods.

On the other hand, condominium/apartment units have more frequent transactions in the resale market but at a significant discount. A number of units currently in the market have leasehold terms ranging between 26 and 80 years, whereby the discount also ranges according to the remaining years in the original leasehold period. Price reductions for units in the last 30 years of tenure can be as high as 78% off the original sales price, whereas units with longer leasehold years remaining have rates discounted from 27% to 56%.

Viewing the performance of condominium/apartment units and villas in the resale market, the former type is lucrative for short to mid-term investment as they require less capital to purchase and can produce an equal ROI to villa projects, whereas the latter is more favorable for long term investment as buyers often benefit from capital gains of a property sale.

Resale vs. Primary Sales ry

FORWARD OUTLOOK

With the global economy remaining volatile, the market for hotel residences is expected to follow suit. However, we forecast greater traction for condominium/apartment projects as opposed to villas due to their lower ultimate pricing point. Because condominium/apartment developments have lower capital values and are easy for hotel operators to generate income from hotel operations, the structure is more suitable for investment purposes. We are also seeing a growing demand in the lifestyle investment sector as new villa developments are escalating towards the luxury segment.

Looking into to the future, if the plan for a new airport in Singaraja and four toll roads to connect North and South Bali materialize a new market cycle will ensue. The capacity to tap tourism will push more developments of hotel residences into areas outside South Bali and the creation of a new broader real estate markets which have significantly lower underlying land cost basis.

“Traveliko is an organic online travel agency that offers hotels and travellers a supportive, inexpensive and socially conscious alternative”

A team of seasoned hospitality professionals collaborated to launch Traveliko.From left, Martijn Dekker - Chief Financial Officer, Yann Gouriou -Chief Operations Officer, Natalie Glebova - Brand Ambassador, Bjorn Harvold - Chief Technology Officer

Bangkok, Thailand: A revolutionary new hotel booking engi ne named Traveliko officially opened its extranet and started on-boarding hotels last month. The platform is specifically designed to promote fair, ethical, value-added travel while helping make the world a better place.

The concept was developed by a group of travel industry veterans concerned by the increasingly unbalanced commercial landscape in the global hospitality and travel industry. They decided innova tive measures were urgently needed to re-balance travel business ethics, to give back pricing control to hotels and to set a code of honour benchmark for online hotel and hospitality services.

“Traveliko challenges the status quo by offering an alternative to the current OTA systems which often see hotel operators crippled by high commissions and pressured to lower their room rates in order to guarantee exposure on a handful of dominant travel websites,” says Yann Gouriou, the company’s Co-Founder, an ex-hotel General Manager and CEO of Unicorn Hotels & Resorts, a hotel management company based in Bangkok.

“Traveliko not only promises the best available rate every time guests book a room online, it only takes a flat 10% commission which is significantly lower than the OTAs currently dominating the market. Traveliko also donates 20% of the net commission earned to project-oriented charities selected by guests in the country where the hotel is located.”

Ahead of its official launch to consumers in Q1, 2017, Traveliko has already signed up several international hospitality companies, including Absolute Hotel Services, Centara Hotels and Resorts, Red Planet as well a number of smaller chains and independent hotels in Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

“Because of Traveliko’s fixed low commission, the booking engine has also been optimised for selling additional hotel products that hoteliers would not want to sell anywhere else. At the end of the day, it will give customers more options and an overall better experience.

The booking engine was built from the ground up with a focus on offering a custom tailored hotel room booking experience. It’s mobile friendly and easy to use.” says Bjorn Harvold, Chief Technical Officer.

“Traveliko not only promises the best available rate every time guests book a room online, it only takes a flat 10% commission which is significantly lower than the OTAs currently domi nating the market.

“If existing OTA’s were giving back 20% of their commissions to worthy causes the travel industry could make an enormous difference in terms of helping people, animals and the planet.”

Rather than being driven solely by the bottom line, the business is based on a partnership model that aims to save hotels money on commission and focus on giving their customers a better experience.

Natalie Glebova, Traveliko’s brand ambassador and for mer Miss Universe says “If existing OTA’s were giving back 20% of their commissions to worthy causes the travel industry could make an enormous difference in terms of helping people, animals and the planet.”

“We are serious about changing the online booking industry and we have spent a long time building a new standalone OTA from scratch. We are personally con tracting all the hotels on the platform ourselves.

It’s something that’s not being done anymore because white labeling seems to be the name of the game.

The problem is that white labeling doesn’t offer anything new, which is why we are very excited about the features and opportunities we can offer hoteliers and travellers, and even more excited that we will be launching the site to consumers in the next couple of months so we get to hear what they think about it,” added Mr. Gouriou.
