In addition to the main HICAP event in Hong Kong, we launched HICAP UPDATE Southeast Asia and HICAP UPDATE Japan.  HICAP UPDATE Southeast Asia was held May 21, 2009 at the Ritz Carlton Millenia Singapore.  HICAP UPDATE Japan was held on May 26, 2009, at the ANA InterContinental Tokyo.

Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels (JLLH), which previously hosted two noteworthy investment events in the same locations each year in May, joined forces with HICAP in the development of these programs.  We are pleased to be carrying on the fine tradition of the former JLLH events with the HICAP Updates.

The HICAP UPDATES focus on today’s opportunities in the Asia Pacific region for hotel investors, owners, developers and lenders.  In these challenging economic times, the need for current, up-to-date market information has never been greater!! The “UPDATES” are positioned to provide the hotel investment community with the mid-year information that is needed to enhance the odds for success in the Asia Pacific region.  The Singapore event focuses on Southeast Asia, while the Tokyo event focuses on Japan.
