This is an edited translation of the speech made by Ken Chan, Patience Capital Group Founder, CEO and CIO, at the RE Fund Review Forum 20th organised by Fudosan Keizai Kenkyujo on 31 October 2025. Ken spoke on how resort hotel investments can create a virtuous cycle of growth and revitalisation. By developing quality accommodation, investors not only meet rising tourism demand but actively stimulate it through global branding and marketing networks. Construction and operations generate multiplier effects across local industries—boosting jobs, incomes, infrastructure, and small businesses. When thoughtfully integrated with local culture, cuisine, and traditions, resort hotels enhance authenticity while directing economic benefits to communities. Public-private collaboration further strengthens accessibility and sustainability. As tourism drives investment, investment fuels regional revitalisation, and revitalisation preserves cultural identity—creating enduring economic, social, and long-term asset value.
