In the early 2000s, Zeman was appointed chairman of the then ailing Ocean Park and successfully managed to turn the fortunes of the theme park around, even in the face of stiff competition from the newly opened Hong Kong DisneyLand. Elsewhere in the region, his LKF Group continues to expand in Mainland China, while the latest phase of his ever-expanding Phuket-based five-star Andara Resort and Villas is well underway.<\/p>\n<p>We recently caught up with him to discuss the state of Hong Kong&#8217;s market a year on from the Occupy movement, why Thailand remains one of the region&#8217;s most desirable destinations and what he would&#8217;ve done differently if he were to get another shot at developing Lan Kwai Fong,\u00a0Hong Kong\u2019s most renowned nightlife district.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the podcast below and subscribe\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/property-report\/id779232730?mt=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/property-report\/dr-allan-zeman-from-ladies-lingerie-to-lan-kwai-fong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/property-report\/dr-allan-zeman-from-ladies-lingerie-to-lan-kwai-fong<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8216;godfather of Lan Kwai Fong&#8217;, celebrated entrepreneur and luxury property developer, Zeman is rarely short of appellations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview","news_author-liam-aran-barnes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Dr Allan Zeman: from ladies&#039;
