Image source: Niseko Tourism Promotion Board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Japan\u2019s winter ski hotspot Niseko is set for a strong post-pandemic market rebound due to one simple thing \u2013 airlift. Timing is everything and the key touch point for airlines everywhere, moving out of a prolonged period of grounded commercial aircraft, has been to get them up and flying again onto high-demand routes.<\/p>\n<p>In a right time, right place scenario, news of the 11 October 2022 lifting of restrictions of travellers to Japan and seasonal timing of airline winter schedules has created a potential windfall for Hokkaido\u2019s international aviation gateway New Chitose Airport.<\/p>\n<p>Singapore Airlines&#8217; low-cost airline Scoot jumped the gun and was the first to announce a return of winter schedule flights commencing November. More recently Thai Airways will resume daily flights from the first of December this year. Last week Thai AirAsia X also made public plans to restart the Bangkok to New Chitose service in December.<\/p>\n<p>The Thailand Hokkaido connection is driven by a strong Thai domestic \u2018snowseeker\u2019 market, and also Bangkok as an Asia hub for the broader international market transiting to Japan given favourable airfares. One key issue for Thais is whether a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokpost.com\/business\/2393656\/operators-travellers-await-japan-visa-move\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visa waiver<\/a> will be put in place with the new reopening program, given a cost issue of approximately THB1500 (USD39) and paperwork requirements. Japan has been slow to roll out extensive guidelines for the reopening which is creating some unrest for hotels and tour organisations in Japan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30786\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30786\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30786 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/thumbnail_Rendering-of-L-House-by-Florian-Busch-Architects-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/thumbnail_Rendering-of-L-House-by-Florian-Busch-Architects-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/thumbnail_Rendering-of-L-House-by-Florian-Busch-Architects-1024x576-1-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/thumbnail_Rendering-of-L-House-by-Florian-Busch-Architects-1024x576-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/thumbnail_Rendering-of-L-House-by-Florian-Busch-Architects-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">L House by Florian Busch Architects<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Under a new mantra of \u2018have plane, will travel\u2019, the alpine destination of Niseko has seen winter bookings come at a blistering pace. Property developers in the destination are reporting a sharp uplift in inquiries given resort real estate is often an emotional buy, and potential purchasers want to get their boots on the ground, given the extended period they were unable to visit.<\/p>\n<p>The newly released C9 Hotelworks market research report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c9hotelworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-niseko-tourism-property-market-review.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Niseko Tourism and Property Market Review<\/a> gives the forward outlook that the combination of the favourable dollar-yen exchange rate and pent-up demand will see a return to high transaction levels from this winter through the rest of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>A selection of properties creating a buzz at the moment range from the luxury ski-in and ski-out hotel and branded residence development <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hyatt.com\/en-US\/hotel\/japan\/park-hyatt-niseko-hanazono\/ctsph\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono<\/a>, Zeikki Properties <a href=\"https:\/\/intuitionniseko.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intuition<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hinodehills.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hinode Hils at Niseko Village<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hakulife.com\/hakuvillas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HakuVillas<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/andaru.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andaru Collection<\/a>. One key destination trait of Niseko remains that majority of tourism accommodation is in luxury and upscale condominiums and vacation homes and not traditional big box hotels.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its airlift and demand trajectory, one immediate challenge for hotels and rental accommodations is how to gear up staffing levels for the upcoming winter, given the market typically relies on a large influx of foreign seasonal workers. Expect a strain on service levels for this season but moving forward the critical mass of international brands and impressive new developments bodes well for Asia\u2019s dream ski destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Bill Barnett<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8792 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bill.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bill.jpg 146w, https:\/\/www.asiapropertyawards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bill.jpg 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bill Barnett \u2014<span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0a globally recognised hospitality,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">tourism,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0and real estate advisor \u2014 is<\/span>\u00a0the founder and managing director of Asia-based C9 Hotelworks and the chairperson of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Greater Niseko) Judging Panel<span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition to being a leading consultant, he is a frequent speaker at industry events and conferences.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<span data-contrast=\"auto\">With over 30 years\u2019 experience in the Asia Pacific region, he has an extensive background in hotel operations,\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">development,<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0and asset management.
