LONG-STAY properties and domestic markets are expected to continue to drive Ascott Residence Trust's (ART) gradual recovery, the stapled hospitality group's managers said on Friday. Read more at The Business Times.

RevPAU in China for the third quarter dropped by 30 per cent on the year to 321 yuan , although its 60 per cent portfolio occupancy was above market levels. ART has received"healthy enquiries for long stays and strong demand for leisure travel on weekends and holidays", the managers said.

Ascott Orchard Singapore, which is now serving staycation, long-stay and self-isolation guests, could receive a boost from the city-state's domestic tourism drive, ART's managers said. Block bookings from Australia's government, military and healthcare workers provided some support, and such bookings are expected to continue into the fourth quarter of this year.

More than S$1 billion in financing is available, including some S$305 million cash on hand and about S$550 million in credit facilities. ART will also receive about S$180 million in net divestment proceeds from its ongoing sales of Ascott Guangzhou, Citadines Didot Montparnasse Paris, Citadines Xinghai Suzhou and Citadines Zhuankou Wuhan.

The managers will review ART's distribution payout"holistically", taking into account the market outlook and past divestment gains unlocked.
