How to Stay Ahead in 2025
The rapid RevPAR growth across these top APAC markets is more than a post-COVID rebound — it’s a signal of deeper structural shifts in traveler behavior, market resilience, and investment potential.
For operators, asset managers, and investors, the opportunity lies not just in recognizing growth, but in anticipating where it will accelerate next — and aligning pricing, inventory, and market entry strategies accordingly.
Markets like New Delhi, Phuket, and Tokyo are proving that data-informed decisions — powered by dynamic rate tracking and real-time demand intelligence — are no longer optional. They are the differentiator between reacting to the market and shaping it.
