HONG KONG, Sept. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Questex’s International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF) Asia announces record-breaking participation, with 100+ leading investors representing $107B in assets under management, comprising 40% of total attendees confirmed to attend. The forum takes place at the Regent Hong Kong from 17-19 September 2025.
As Asia-Pacific hospitality markets continue to outperform global benchmarks with strong transaction activity and investor confidence, IHIF Asia is positioned as the region’s premier gathering for deal-makers seeking to capitalize on the region’s robust growth trajectory.
“The 40% investor composition demonstrates IHIF Asia’s unique positioning as a truly deal-focused event,” said IB Saravanan, Vice President, Questex Asia. “This concentration of capital decision-makers in one venue creates unparalleled opportunities for meaningful transactions and partnerships.”
The investor delegation includes Blackstone, City Developments Limited, Gaw Capital Partners, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Japan Hotel REIT Advisors, Shun Tak Holdings, Starwood Capital Group, Wayfarer Worldwide Hotels, Yu Tai Hing Company Limited, and dozens more active capital sources spanning the full investment spectrum.
The theme, “Beyond Borders: Markets, Capital, Growth,” addresses critical investor questions: Which secondary markets offer highest returns? How are ESG requirements reshaping investment criteria? What role will technology play in future asset valuations?
Key programming includes CBRE Capital Talks featuring proprietary transaction data across major Asia-Pacific cities, The Operator Equation analysing ROI in third-party management versus owner-brand partnerships, and a CEO Growth Strategies Panel with executives from major hotel groups discussing market disruption navigation.
The forum unites high-net-worth individuals, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, private equity groups, global hotel brands, and leading developers. Early registration shows strong representation from Japanese REITs, Australian pension funds, and Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds.
