beautiful, newly launched Regent Hong Kong presents a unique opportunity for the
hotel-investment community to embrace its roots. The combination of the
announcement of the 2024 dates for HICAP UPDATE in Hong Kong, HICAP in
Singapore and HICAP ANZ in Sydney epitomizes the networking and deal-making
opportunities as well as the overall impact of a brand with such a strong and
respected history throughout the region.”

The reintroduction of HICAP UPDATE will round out the HICAP
portfolio of events. HICAP UPDATE 2024 will be the 11th edition of the event.
It will distinguish itself programmatically by doing what it does best —
focusing on key regional markets and keeping delegates in touch with the latest
development and investment opportunities and challenges in a variety of the
region’s hot markets. The two-day conference will feature a prestigious lineup
of speakers and sessions focusing on the current issues facing the industry, as
well as the great networking opportunities HICAP is known for.
“With the historic,
meaningful ties between HICAP and Hong Kong, it’s great to see the brand returning
to the location where so many hotel deals have been hatched and completed over
the years,” said Robert Hecker, Managing Director of Pacific Asia at Horwath
HTL and a founding partner of HICAP. “The footprint of the HICAP portfolio
through the Asia Pacific region is a conduit for deals, as Singapore, Hong Kong
and Sydney are hotel investment hubs that provide access to so many
face-to-face interactions and transactions activity and Horwath HTL is proud to
provide its support.”
Nihat Ercan, CEO of APAC at JLL Hotels & Hospitality
Group, added: “It’s great to see the HICAP brand returning to Hong Kong as it
further demonstrates the ever-improving health of the hotel-investment space.
JLL’s long-time commitment to reaching all corners of the Asia Pacific region
is further enhanced by HICAP UPDATE’s commitment to Hong Kong and coupled with
the HICAP events in Singapore and Sydney. We’re pleased with what it indicates
about the prospects for the overall transactions market.” JLL is a Founder
Patron of HICAP UPDATE.
