Vietnam-Thailand ties among most important strategic partnerships in region: scholar
Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh (right) and Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra posing for photos at the Government Office in Hanoi on May 16, 2025. - AFP BANGKOK: Thailand and Vietnam have an excellent relationship that is gradually becoming one of South-East Asia's most important strategic partnerships, said Thai scholar Kavi Chongkittavorn. Speaking to Vietnam News Agency correspondents in Bangkok on the official visit of Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra to Vietnam from May 15 to 16, Kavi affirmed that the visit is of significance as it takes place at a time when the international order is being affected by increasing geopolitical tensions and trade conflicts. According to the senior fellow, both countries can work closely together to promote multilateral trade and enhance good rules-based practices covering economic, political, security and socio-cultural fields. Thailand and Vietnam are two major trade partners, both bilaterally and within Asean, and they are working to raise bilateral trade from US$20 billion to $25 billion per year. Kavi also said the two countries, as well as other Asean members, are accelerating efforts to turn Asean into a regional bloc that promotes peace and stability, not only in the region, but also across a world that is currently facing a future of uncertainties. Mentioning the Thai Cabinet's recent approval of 30 projects worth 16.4 billion THB ($498 million) in the Northeast (Isaan) region, which is home to a large Vietnamese-Thai community, he said that these investments will have long-term positive impacts on cross-border trade and promote connectivity between the two countries. The scholar held that Thailand and Vietnam are among the strongest advocates for Asean's centrality and solidarity, especially in trade negotiations. One of the agendas is to ensure that Asean is a driving force in multilateral trade and the international rules-based order. This is a very important point in the context of Asean being subject to the current tariffs, he added, with both countries strongly supporting the call by Malaysia, as Asean Chair, that Asean must have a common position in tariff negotiations with the US. Kavi emphasised that Thailand and Vietnam enjoy a dynamic bilateral trade relationship, and they are also the region's two largest exporters to Europe. Therefore, the two countries need to diversify their investment and trade portfolios while continuing to invest and strengthen relations in the digital economy. Vietnam's determination to strengthen ties with other trading partners such as the European Union (EU) and Japan shows its long-term vision in the face of the rise of protectionist policies and higher tariffs, he said. Kavi suggested that within the framework of Asean, Thailand and Vietnam should onsult each other on the regional economic and political reality, because these two issues are increasingly linked to each other. - Vietnam News/ANN

Minor Hotels Powers Through Low Season to Lift Revenue and EBITDA in 1Q 2025
Core revenue in Q1 increases 4% y-y Core EBITDA up 7% y-y RevPAR +5% globally, driven by Thailand (+10%) and Europe (+8%) First-quarter loss cut by 57% versus 2024 Minor Hotels has reported a resilient start to 2025, shrugging off seasonal softness and currency volatility to post a 4% year-on-year increase in core revenue and a 7% jump in core EBITDA. Buoyed by robust leisure and business demand, Minor Hotels cut its first-quarter core loss to THB 493 million – an improvement of 57% versus last year. The sharp turnaround underscores both the earning power of the group's diverse global portfolio and its disciplined cost controls. System-wide occupancy across Minor's global portfolio of more than 560 properties edged up one point to 64% while average daily rate (ADR) rose 3% year-on-year, lifting global RevPAR by 5%. Thailand continued to outperform, with owned hotels in the country recording a 10% RevPAR increase as international arrivals accelerated, flight connectivity improved and global exposure from HBO's The White Lotus Season 3 – filmed across four Minor resorts – boosted brand visibility. Europe also exceeded expectations despite its traditional low season, with owned hotels in the region delivering 8% RevPAR growth, led by strong trading in Spain, Italy and the Benelux region, underscoring demand resilience across the continent. Strategic pricing and stronger direct-booking initiatives, notably the debut of the new Minor Hotels masterbrand in March, combined to sharpen top-line momentum. Total system sales for the entire portfolio held steady in the first quarter at THB 40.5 billion and rose 3% on a like-for-like basis once foreign-exchange effects and recent openings or exits were stripped out. Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East and Africa saw a combined 2% uplift in system sales, with the Maldives and Sri Lanka helping to offset pockets of softness elsewhere in those regions. Hotels owned by Minor but operated by third parties grew like-for-like system sales by 6%, buoyed by robust demand in Africa and Thai resorts, while the mixed-use division – including Anantara Vacation Club, The Wolseley Hospitality Group, residential, spa and retail businesses – expanded system sales by 16%. Delivering such a strong first-quarter performance in what is traditionally our toughest season shows the power of our trusted brands and the agility of our people. We will keep building momentum through 'asset right' expansion and sharper distribution while maintaining strict discipline on operating and capital costs, with a clear focus on further debt reduction to strengthen our balance sheet. Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International, the parent company of Minor Hotels Looking ahead, booking trends for the second quarter remain in line with management's outlook for the rest of 2025. The group will leverage its diverse portfolio of brands, adaptable teams and broad geographic spread to capture demand and safeguard margins amid ongoing currency and macro-economic uncertainty.

Minor Hotels Boosted by Maldives as Thailand Growth Slows and Europe Posts Loss
A strong showing in the Maldives gave Minor just enough to break its Q1 losing streak. Minor International posted a core profit of THB 50 million (about $1.5 million) in the first quarter of 2025, its first for the period since acquiring NH Hotel Group in 2018. The result was buoyed by strong performance in the Maldives even as it faced slowing growth in Thailand and continued losses in Europe. Revenue for Minor's core business was down 3% due to a stronger Thai Baht. The company said that revenue would have increased 4% without currency effects. Core EBITDA rose 1%. Minor Hotels operates over 560 hotels and resorts across six continents under eight brands: Anantara, Avani, Elewana, NH, NH Collection, nhow, Oaks, and Tivoli. 1. Maldives drives the quarter with luxury demand: The Maldives led performance, with revenue per available room [RevPAR] rising 18% year-over-year. "The average occupancy rate rose significantly to 68% from 49% in the same quarter last year, thanks to effective sales initiatives focused on experiential offerings that attracted guests to the properties," wrote Minor International CFO Chaiyapat Paitoon in the company's earnings release. Revenue from the island destination was up 5% year-over-year. 2. Europe improves but remains a drag: Despite an 8% rise in RevPAR and 64% occupancy, Minor's European hotels reported a quarterly loss. Minor attributed the loss to seasonal factors, noting that many European properties operate below breakeven in first quarter. The company opened NH Collection Alagna Mirtillo Rosso in Italy as part of its asset-light strategy. 3. Thailand slows sharply from last year: Thailand posted RevPAR growth of 10% year-over-year in Q1 2025, a drop from the 25% surge recorded in the same quarter a year earlier. Despite the slowdown in RevPAR growth, hotel revenue in Thailand increased by 6%. The revenue growth came even as Minor's equity-owned room count in the country fell 6% year-over-year, and rate increases helped offset foreign exchange pressure and a tough year-over-year comparison. The company also opened NH Bangkok Asoke during the quarter, a conversion project that marks continued brand expansion for NH in Asia. 4. Australia hit by cyclone and softer demand: Minor's Management Letting Rights (MLR) portfolio in Australia and New Zealand recorded a 6% RevPAR decline, hurt by Cyclone Alfred and a high comparison base in last year's first quarter. The company opened two new Oaks-branded properties in Geelong, Victoria. 5. Management fee income climbs on new openings: Minor continued to grow its management income with five new hotels added during the quarter, in Italy, Thailand, Tanzania, and Australia. Management fee income rose 16% year-over-year to just under THB 800 million, accounting for 3% of hotel and mixed-use revenue. 6. Q2 is off to steady start: The company said April RevPAR trends remain positive. "Positive growth in RevPAR has been recorded for April, particularly across our key markets in Europe (low single-digit growth), Thailand (high single-digit growth), and the Maldives (double-digit growth)," said Paitoon. Minor International CEO Dillip Rajakarier will appear onstage at Skift Asia Forum this week in Bangkok.
