Why JLL tips Macau for your next investment?





Move aside, Las Vegas. Macau has long taken over the “Gaming Capital of the World” title. This tiny city, which used to be a part of the Portuguese economy, is now the proud titleholder of being the place to be if you’re fond of the fast gaming and casino life. A little over a decade ago, there were only 11 casinos in Macau. To date, the city is now host to 35 show-stopping casinos including Wynn Resorts, Sands, Venetian and City of Dreams. Critics may say that Macau’s success has halted, following “Beijing’s clamp down on corruption and flashy consumption over the past two years” but in truth, Macau should still be on your next investment priority list. JLL  tells us why.

macau-china-nki.jpgMacau still boasts of amazing financial figures: nearly 30 million people crossed into Macau in 2013, up from 11.5 million in 2002. In 2013, gaming revenues likewise have shot up to about US$45 billion. Each year, visitors numbering roughly 40 to 50 million come to spend their cash. Transportation options from mainland China are also getting better and better including a better railway system as well as a 30 kilometre bridge across the Pearl River Delta. The bridge will make it easier for people to travel from Hong Kong to Macau and vice versa. Of course, not to be left behind are the continuous expansions of the casinos.

Gregory Ku, Managing Director at JLL Macau, says that these developments prove Macau is “very bullish” and that the place is still “very busy.”

These are just a few of the reasons why Macau is a good place to prioritise for investment.

Starting a tech biz in Hong Kong? JLL COO, Gavin Morgan, comments on the opportunities in this booming industry.



Is it feasible to open a tech business in Hong Kong? Should startups now look deeper into the possibility of setting up in this Asian city? Can Hong Kong be the next tech hub after Silicon Valley and New York? These are the perennial questions of technology entrepreneurs these days, given the rampant expansion of many banking and finance related companies. With the historical expansions of these industries, shouldn’t tech companies locally be next?
10425490_825889840808712_7896925683904181895_n.jpg


JLL  COO Gavin Morgan believes that Hong Kong has all the ingredients to be the next tech capital of the world, and certainly within Asia Pacific.

Stating that the Hong Kong market has all the credentials to back up any interested tech company - from its highly educated and productive workforce, it's pro-business environment, world-class infrastructure, to its high adaptation rate for technology. The fact that people can easily access Facebook, YouTube and Instagram in Hong Kong gives the city a unique edge over mainland cities. Moreover, Hong Kong, he says, is also the favourite of many mainland companies that want to expand beyond their borders. It’s strategically located and wise entrepreneurs know by heart that location, location, location is truly key in every business’ success.

Morgan also underscores the presence of highly skilled professionals in Hong Kong. The city, he says, is a location of choice for a high proportion of people in the Asia Pacific region. This is proof that Hong Kong truly has all the makings of an ideal location for tech businesses. Morgan also encourages companies to seek the help of investment management firms before they make the big leap to Hong Kong.

2015: A great year to invest in Asian real estate, according to JLL



The hunt for the best location to invest in real estate in 2015 is over. The numbers don’t lie - expert forecast for 2015 indicate that the hotel industry is a big winner this year as it grows at least 15% in Asia Pacific alone. This would mean roughly US $ 8.5 Billion of hotel sales transactions. According to JLL Hong Kong , there is a growing interest in Japan as well as a steady confidence in Australia. Indonesia and China are also not far behind. For Indonesia, the interest will be partly because of currency plays whilst China’s liquidity and encouraging cross border investment policies, will be a major draw among investors. For wise investors, the best location to keep track of all these movements  is Hong Kong. After all, Hong Kong is a city where the world’s best known names in hospitality have also made their presence known.


Hong-Kong-skyline-at-night.jpgCentrally located and boasting world-class technology, as well as a healthy expat community, Hong Kong is a great location to establish your home or business base in Asia.  JLL can help you relocate and find the most suitable residence for you. They will make the transition smooth and easy, leaving you with nothing but the chance to focus on your business.

HIV Advocates Invites You To Observe Zero Discrimination Day On March 1



Join the fight against discrimination. Stop the stigma! March 1 is Zero Discrimination Day and HIV Advocates invites you to join this movement. Open up and reach out!

HIV Advocates, a global initiative that aims to share news, experiences, strategies and new tools that aim to energize human rights movements and communities fighting HIV/AIDS, is encouraging everyone to share their thoughts about the fight against discrimination. What does discrimination mean to you? How important is zero discrimination in your life? How does discrimination impact your life as well as the lives of the people who matter to you? What do you think society should do in order to stop this?

10420157_461111050707231_5582349385709015461_n.png

By joining the Zero Discrimination Day celebration on March 1, people will be more aware of the ongoing battle that denies people of their human rights or social participation. One way to take part on March 1 is to thank somebody who has inspired you through tolerance and diversity. HIV Advocates also urges people to show how they want to fight the stigma.

“Be inspired by the butterfly, the transformative symbol for zero discrimination and take part in an activity to express your support for zero discrimination. You might swim like a butterfly, bake a butterfly cake, sing a butterfly song. Be as creative as you like,” according to HIV Advocates.

Supported by Levi Strauss Foundation and powered by B-Change Foundation, HIV Advocates encourages existing and would-be activists to explore the power of social media and other Internet avenues to help spread the message across - that discrimination and stigma against people with HIV/AIDS no longer have any place in society!

Sideways Driving Club simulated F1 racing, Social Media Growth Hack tips, Primasia Corporate Services, Edible Arrangements Fruit on Hong Kong TVB





10407758_850886521600325_6034186517900598613_n.jpgWhat’s To Love At Sideways Driving Club Hong Kong? Let’s Count The Ways
These are known facts: Sideways Driving Club is the premiere venue for virtual racing in Hong Kong. The simulators at Sideways Driving Club  are endorsed and used by racing drivers around the world, including real F1 drivers. However, there are more facts about Sideways Driving Club  that truly cement the fact that this is the best choice when it comes to fun and thrill right in the middle of urban Hong Kong.

First off, did you know that Sideways Driving Club  has been in Hong Kong for more than 10 years? To be in business for more than a decade - that’s a good sign of stability. Over the years, Sideways Driving Club  has also increased the number of their cars and to date, they now have over 50 cars to offer to patrons, more than any other center in Hong Kong. With that many cars, it also means that they also offer the largest selection of tracks - more than 200. That’s way more than any other sim center in the city. Fifteen (15) people can all race against one another at the same - now this is pretty unique only to Sideways Driving Club . No other simulator center can even offer anything close! And to cap everything off, they have a fully licensed bar and catering. This is part of Sideways Driving Club’s forward thinking especially for valued customers.


PRDADouglasPhoto-20150121021203147.jpegTip From PRDA Asia: Better PR Through Growth Hacking
Entrepreneurs know by heart the importance of PR. It can either help make or break a business. PR should be incorporated in just about every business plan or marketing strategy. Undeniably, PR plays an imperative role especially in letting a business succeed and expand. These days, however, with the presence of social media, things have shaken up. PR “gurus” can no longer say they’re the only ones in control. Fierce social media aficionados can already post whatever they want, most of the time without any reason and without any thought of possible repercussions. Moreover, writers don’t just receive press releases and print them verbatim anymore. So what’s the best thing to do? Digital and social media agency PRDA Asia has a tip: growth hacking.

PRDA Asia Founder Douglas White explains, “Growth hacking is not true "hacking" in the sense of breaking in where you don't belong. It's about maximizing customer growth through process improvement, technology and consumer psychology. Growth hacking is about taking methods that are already known and fully utilizing them and, when lucky, finding new ways to combine them for great effect. The term puts a focus on stepping outside of your comfort zone and learning and using new methods in a smart way.”
