Viet Nam’s upscale hotel market rallying: survey
Author: Updated: 18/07/2017 Views: 19

More Vietnamese travelers are staying at four- and five-star hotels in Viet Nam despite the cost, according to a recent survey on upscale hotels and resorts in the country.


                                                    

                                                                                         The Ocean Villas Đà Nẵng

The findings were announced on Tuesday by accounting and consulting firm Grant Thornton Viet Nam (UK) in their Hotel Survey 2017 report.

The survey has been done annually by the organization for the last 14 years, providing financial, operational and marketing information on a range of Vietnamese hotels.

Within the scope of the firm’s report, ‘hotel’ refers to both hotels and resorts, with the survey covering four- and five-star properties across a number of major tourist destinations in Viet Nam.

According to Kenneth Atkinson, Executive Chairman of Grant Thornton Viet Nam, international travelers have been the dominant source of business for upscale hotels in Viet Nam over the past three years.

However, the percentage of foreign guests in Vietnamese hotels dropped from 81.1 percent in 2015 to 79.6 percent in 2016, Atkinson noted.

Domestic tourism has grown to make up 20.4 percent of the surveyed hotels' bookings in 2016, a 2.4-point increase on the previous year.

Looking at annual average room rates by star ranking, four-star hotels went up by 3.8 percent, from an average cost of US$72.30 to around $75.

This rate, however, is still considerably lower than that of 2014, when the average room rate of four-star hotels in Viet Nam peaked at an average of $87.20.

On the other hand, five-star hotels became cheaper on average by 6.28 percent, dropping from $111.40 to $104.40 on average.

The rising percentage of Vietnamese who can now afford to stay in luxury hotels demonstrates an improvement in the overall disposable income of the Vietnamese population, according to Tao Van Nghe, chairman of Odyssea Hospitality, which runs the Liberty hotel franchise in Viet Nam.

The trend is a positive sign for the hospitality industry in Viet Nam, which may need to adopt new marketing strategies to target an emerging group of new customers, Nghe asserted.

The year 2016 also saw a recovery of the hotel and resort business in Viet Nam, with average occupancy rates rising from 61.5 percent to 67.2 percent for four-star hotels, and from 62.7 percent to 68 percent for five-star hotels.

Upward trends were observed in both the number of tourists visiting Vietnam and tourism revenue last year, growing at a rate of 26 percent and 18.4 percent respectively.

In 2016, Viet Nam welcomed over ten million international travelers.

In the first half of 2017, 6.2 million foreign visitors already arrived in Viet Nam, with the country anticipating as many as 11.5 million international tourists by the end of the year.
