It is also a short 20-minute drive to Beihai International Passenger Port.
When considering investing in property, it is imperative for foreign investors to familiarize themselves with the regulations and limitations that govern property ownership in Singapore. Unlike landed properties, which have stringent ownership rules, foreigners are generally permitted to purchase condos with minimal restrictions. However, it is important to note that foreign buyers are required to pay an additional ABSD of 20% for their first property purchase. Nevertheless, the consistent stability and promising growth potential of the Singapore real estate market continue to entice foreign investment, making it a desirable option for those seeking to invest in Singapore Projects.
Qian Jin, the president of Hilton Greater China and Mongolia, expressed his excitement about the opening of the Beihai Jiafu Hilton Garden Inn in a press release on December 13. He highlighted the rapid growth of the brand and their continued commitment to the Chinese market. The first Hilton Garden Inn in China was opened in Shenzhen in 2014 and has since expanded to popular cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Guilin, and Aksu. More Hilton Garden Inn properties are set to open in China by 2025, including in popular tourist destinations such as Zhangjiajie, Ordos, Huangshan, Shanwei, and Jinan.
In addition to this growth in China, Hilton also has plans to double its presence in the mid-market sector in the Asia Pacific region by opening over 1,000 hotels. These new properties will include the recently launched Hilton Garden Inn Gen A, a regional prototype specifically designed to cater to Generation Alpha travelers in Greater China. The first locations for this new concept will be in Nanjing, Chengdu, Chengde, and Jinan.
These new openings will contribute to the expansion of Hilton Garden Inn across Asia Pacific. Clarence Tan, the senior vice president of development at Hilton Asia Pacific, shared that there are currently over 200 Hilton Garden Inn properties in development in the region. This continued growth is a testament to the success and popularity of the brand among travelers in the region.
