The 6th Summit, SEAHIS 2023, took place in Bangkok on June 26–27 at the Westin Grande Sukhumvit, with the opening night reception staged on the rooftop of the Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit.
With 330 attendees, 106 of whom spoke, it was the largest SEAHIS to yet.Although there was some caution due to the delayed rate of recovery of export business from China, the real estate crisis in Vietnam, and high global interest rates, the attitude was mainly positive. Attendees were nevertheless optimistic about the year’s prospects because trading was strong in most nations.
Australia, Cambodia, and the Maldives sent record numbers of participants to SEAHIS, and there were sizable delegations from all throughout the region.
The best ways to obtain debt financing, specific instances of value-added ESG investing, the ongoing rise in the performance of luxury hotels, the use of GOP per square metre as a new metric, the role of long-stay properties, and how Asian groups have fared when investing outside the region were among the topics covered. Kenny Gaw, Amar Lalavani, and David Ling participated in the discussion on how Asian groups have fared. In a lively discussion that featured Shirley Tan, Choe Peng Sum, Suchad Chiaranussati, and Toby Smith, Japan emerged victorious as the greatest place to invest in the area right now. Additionally, the audience took part in voting sessions that examined the business models of several fresh venture capital firms and software startups.
The response has been very positive, with 95% of responders rating the content as “good” or “excellent” and 97% giving the networking a “good” or “excellent” grade.
Without our sponsors, presenters, and of course, delegates, SEAHIS would not be possible. Next year, we hope to see all of them again as well as more fresh faces.
