Like other would-be tiger economies, Vietnam faces a trifecta of new threats: a crisis-paralyzed Europe, a faltering America, and a newly spendthrift Japan. Yet the biggest risk to the nation’s future may be old-fashioned nostalgia. More…

Investors are turning their attention to emerging markets in South East Asia again, on the back of robust hotel transaction volumes in Asia which hit US$620 million in Q1 2013, up 190 percent from the same period in 2012, according to Jones Lang LaSalle.

“Rising visitor arrivals, robust trading performance and positive market dynamics have put emerging South East Asian markets such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar back into the investment spotlight,” Tom Oakden, Executive Vice President, Investment Sales for Jones Lang LaSalle’s Hotels & Hospitality Group revealed at an industry event co-hosted with Ashurst.

This is evident in the double digit tourism growth witnessed in Vietnam (15 percent), Cambodia (25 percent) and Myanmar (55 percent) in 2012, when compared with 2011. More…
