This was largely due to the dramatic increase in tourism as Thailand lifted entry restrictions. The country recorded 27.25 million tourist arrivals in 2023, more than double the previous year\u2019s 11 million. Though still short of the pre-pandemic 39 million arrivals in 2019, the substantial year-on-year improvement indicates continued recovery in the tourism sector.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russia, China and UK were the top 3 leading markets for our Phuket hotels in 2023, with domestic travellers slipping out of the top five markets. Going forward, the intention is to achieve an optimal balance between international and local guests, to maximise profitability while cushioning the business against potential disruptions in overseas markets.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Laguna Phuket hotels continued to synergise, cross-promoting events and accommodation options. Laguna Holiday Club was rebranded as Homm Suites Laguna, in line with the brand expansion strategy and\u00a0 to cater to a different market segment.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of financial performance, revenue from Banyan Tree Phuket reached an all-time high, while Angsana Laguna Phuket, Cassia Phuket and Homm Suites Laguna delivered 67% more revenue than in the previous year.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Occupancy at Banyan Tree Bangkok rebounded to 77%, closely matching the 78% occupancy posted in 2019. International guests accounted for 95% of rooms sold in 2023, with China occupying the top spot 22%. The iconic F&amp;B outlets at Banyan Tree Bangkok contributed 51% of its revenue and remain a strong draw for the domestic market.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Management is attuned to the intense competition in Bangkok and Phuket, as a stream of new keys enters the market. Property improvements play an important role in enabling our hotels to stand out, with Angsana Laguna Phuket among those undergoing planned <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enhancements in 2024. At the same time, we continue to place great emphasis on innovative offerings and staff training to make every guest experience one that befits our

In 2023, we achieved total sales value of S$267.8 million, a 23% rise from 2022, setting a new record for presales. Due to ongoing capital flight from Russia due to the war in Ukraine and the increase in direct flights from Russia to Phuket, Russia remained our largest source of buyers in 2023. Phuket\u2019s luxury low-rise residential market witnessed robust demand from high-net-worth individuals, following Thailand\u2019s introduction of the long-term resident visa and the new Thailand Elite visa programme. Other factors driving demand included a shift from financial assets to hard assets, such as real estate, in response to rising inflation.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our strategy remains to unlock value from our land bank by actively rolling out new projects to market to meet ongoing demand. During the year, we launched several new projects including Banyan Tree Grand Residences Beach Terraces, Laguna Lakeside, Banyan Tree Residences Beach Residences and Banyan Tree Residences Beach Villas. We also unveiled Laguna Lakelands in Phuket, an ambitious nature-infused project showcasing a diverse landscape, including a rainforest park, orchard, lakeside, lagoon, valley and forest. The first projects at Laguna Lakelands \u2013 Laguna Lakelands Lakeview Residences and Waterfront Villas \u2013 achieved strong sales traction after their launch in December 2023.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f951b2 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2f951b2\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10b1f17 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"10b1f17\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dcdf542 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dcdf542\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2558\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/annualreport.groupbanyan.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Business-Review_BT-Grand-Residences.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-9249\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/annualreport.groupbanyan.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Business-Review_BT-Grand-Residences.jpg 2558w, https:\/\/annualreport.groupbanyan.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Business-Review_BT-Grand-Residences-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/annualreport.groupbanyan.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Business-Review_BT-Grand-Residences-1024x480.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/annualreport.groupbanyan.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Business-Review_BT-Grand-Residences-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/annualreport.groupbanyan.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Business-Review_BT-Grand-Residences-1536x721.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/annualreport.groupbanyan.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Business-Review_BT-Grand-Residences-2048x961.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/annualreport.groupbanyan.com\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Business-Review_BT-Grand-Residences-300x141@2x.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2558px) 100vw, 2558px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Banyan Tree Grand Residences, Phuket, Thailand<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1ee8164 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1ee8164\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:320}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Thailand\u2019s luxury branded residence market is flourishing, attracting affluent buyers and experiencing significant growth, with a focus on global ultra-high-net-worth individuals.<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a2a76e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1a2a76e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5398b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e5398b8\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca3faba elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ca3faba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:480}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We continue to see a shift in demand to mid-scale, upscale and luxury segments for well-positioned branded residences.
