The Alternative Ownership Conference Asia Pacific business – known as AOCAP – has been purchased by the Hotel Investment Conference Asia Pacific (HICAP) brand.
Launched in Phuket in 2009 by the Absolute World Group, AOCAP has quickly become Asia Pacific’s premier investment conference serving the alternative/vacation ownership sector of the property industry.
It is the region’s most important conference focused on mixed-use resorts and annually delivers an abundance of knowledge, insight, and understanding of the alternative ownership sector of the lodging industry throughout Asia Pacific. The most recent AOCAP was held in October 2013 in Hong Kong and attracted a record number of event sponsors and delegates.
Bryan Lunt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Absolute World Group (pictured), said: “AOCAP was conceptualised to plug the gap in the region in terms of a conference focused solely upon mixed-use resort development and recreational real estate, and to bring together regional players to stimulate dialogue on industry issues and facilitate networking opportunities.
“The region currently offers international developers business opportunities more significant than any other markets on the planet. AOCAP has rapidly developed through the participation and collaboration with some of the most respected international experts within the industry, as well as carefully considered programming.
“We are delighted to be passing the event to HICAP who will surely enhance AOCAP’s importance within Southeast Asia,” he added.
The next AOCAP will take place in March 2015 in Singapore in conjunction with HICAP. The date and location will be announced shortly.
