Star Asia’s Hotel Portfolio Benefits from Record Inbound Tourism and Southeast Asian Demand

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Star Asia Investment Corp. ( (JP:3468) ) has issued an announcement.

Star Asia Investment Corporation reported strong hotel operating performance for December 2025, supported by record inbound tourism to Japan, with annual foreign visitor numbers hitting a new high of 42.68 million, up 15.8% year on year. Despite continued calls from Chinese authorities for citizens to refrain from traveling to Japan, the impact on Star Asia’s hotel portfolio remained limited, with growth instead driven by rising Southeast Asian visitor demand and targeted promotional campaigns, particularly in Sapporo, Tohoku and Fukuoka. Properties across the portfolio generally showed high occupancy and solid gains in average daily rates and revenue per available room, while previously underperforming Kagoshima assets began to recover on the back of a government winter discount campaign and robust domestic travel, underscoring the portfolio’s resilience and improving earnings visibility for investors.
