The status of WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION continues to add value and dramatically improve tourism recipes, draw international investors and bring development and economic prowess.
The latest country to register the benefits of tourism related development are Zimbabwe and Laos countries that top the world tourism growth in the last years.
Zimbabwe tourism has registered an outstanding change of fortune after being selected WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION IN 2014 by the world tourism institution-European Council on Tourism and Trade .
We have registered an increase in annual earnings to $1,5 billion after an improvement in international sentiment, said. Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, chief executive Karikoga Kaseke.
This is coming from tourism bringing only $827 million to the state revenues which is almost an 80% increase in tourism related revenues.
Visitors are flocking to Victoria Falls in record numbers, after the visit of European Council on Tourism and Trade President and his retinue and this is a sure sign that Zimbabwe tourism is turning a corner, an industry leader says.
President Professor Dr. Anton Caragea and his retinue visiting Victoria Falls, now the center of tourism rebirth of Zimbabwe.
Latest figures reveal hotel occupancy rates at Victoria Falls are hitting an all time high, sitting at 77.6 per cent last month, compared to 62.6 per cent during August last year.
Ross Kennedy said the boom in tourists had impacted across all sectors, from 2 star to 5 star accommodation, and big hotels to exclusive boutique properties.
Most performance benchmarks, including revenue earned and visitor numbers, had been smashed during the month of August.
Bookings for 2014 and 2015 were very healthy and the number of different countries where visitors are coming from is steadily growing, further enhancing demand and reputation, he said.
The data showed most visitors to the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge were from the United States, followed by Australia, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe. “It all adds up to a bright picture ahead,” Mr Kennedy said.
“In comparison to current world tourism trends, these statistics are simply staggering, and a powerful reminder of the positive impact that a strong tourism industry can have on an economy.”
Laos has become WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION FOR 2013-Prime Minister Thongsing Thammavong and President Dr. Anton Caragea.
After being elected WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION FOR 2013 and Favorite Cultural Destination in 2013 Laos has become a beacon of tourism in the Indochina region.
Already 40 hotels, including five international chains, are scheduled to open in Laos over the next five years as the country becomes a more popular tourist destination.
Three global brands – Mercure, Ibis and Best Western – have already opened their doors in Vientiane, and one regional brand has entered the World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang to cash in the World Best Tourist Destination status of the country.
Furthermore, 25-30 three- and four-star hotels are set to open in the capital, with some in other tourist cities.
In the first year after receiving World`s Favorite Cultural Destination ” we registered 3.7 million arrivals last year, generating income of US$600 million.
The government aims for 3.9 million tourists this year. The number of arrivals should reach 10 million within five years but we need another success in WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION to consolidate our status.
Celebrating LAOS – WORLD BEST TOURIST DESTINATION FOR 2013
The number of American and European tourists has significantly increased in recent years.
Two years ago, the European Council on Tourism and Trade named Laos the “World’s Best Tourist Destination for 2013”, which put the country on the global tourism map especially for its rich history, culture, traditions and natural beauty.
Vara anului 2015 a marcat noi scaderi ale preturilor locuintelor, terenurilor si blocurilor de apartamente.
Tendinta era previzibila inca din primavara, cand expertii imobiliari au inteles ca anul 2015 va aduce in sfarsit scaderile de preturi sensibile si radicale, ce permit repunerea in activitate a pietei imobiliare, cu reduceri de 25-30%, pe diverse segmente ale pietei imobliare, reducerile vor continua si in aceasta toamna si iarna cu valorile obisnuite, de sezon, de 10-15%.
Aceste reduceri au fost sensibile si arata o tendinta de normalizare a pietii si de racordare la posibilitatile economice ale clientilor, dar mai este nevoie de inca trei-patru ani de scaderi similare pentru a se obtine preturile normale, au apreciati toti expertii prezenti.
Ca atare anul 2015 va aduce noi scaderi marcante de preturi, iar reducerile in sectorul imobiliar vor fi de pana la jumatate din actualele preturi.
Tendinta este aceeasi: piata sa se stabilizeze la cc.200 de euro metro patrat construit si investitia imobiliara sa redevina atractiva pentru cumparatori.
O statistica interesanta a aratat ca cine a cumparat anul trecut o proprietate a pierdut deja 20% din valoare.
Scaderea de valoare, de la 1.200/1.300 de euro pe metrul patrat construit, la 650-450 de euro, nu reprezinta decat un inceput, timid, al normalizarii pietii proprietatilor imobiliare romanesti.
Evolutia pietei imobiliare in 2015 va fi in continuare una negativa, mult accelerata de: agravarea crizei economice la nivel european si mondial, reducerea economiei romanesti si in acest an, piedicile in fata creditarii, fiscalitatea ridicata, prognozele economice negative.
La acestea se mai adauga: cresterea impozitelor pe teren si proprietati cu peste 60% prevazuta in noul Cod Fiscal, reducerea veniturilor agentilor economici si zona de instabilitate strategica in care se afla Romania, ca urmare a crizei din Ucraina.
Cel mai afectat de scaderile de preturi va fi palierul proprietatilor din zonele periferice si de provincie si zona vilelor de vacanta cu reduceri de cc.50% si o noua scadere de 40%-50% este prognozata pentru zona proprietatilor din Bucuresti.
Pretul trebuie sa ajunga la valoarea considerata normala, de referinta, de cc.200-250 de euro pe metru patrat construit, in zonele de prim rang din Bucuresti.
La fel ca anul trecut, printre factorii responsabili de scaderea preturilor se enumera: criza grava a sistemului bancar, scaderea economiei romanesti din ultimii ani, scaderea sumelor destinate investitiilor, reducerea drastica a veniturilor reale ale populatiei , scaderea masiva a veniturilor romanilor ce muncesc in afara granitelor, fiscalitatea excesiva, haosul legislativ etc.
Vor accelera scaderile de preturi si aparitia pe piata a peste 120.000 de apartamente, vile si case ce au fost deja confiscate de banci, ca urmare a dificultatilor financiare ale proprietarilor, in 2014.
Dificultatile legislative si procesele au impiedicat inca bancile sa scoata in vanzare acest urias patrimoniu imobiliar, ce va reduce consistent preturile de pe piata.
Acestea proprietati vor ajunge pe piata, in cadrul licitatiilor bancare, cu preturi intre 50% si 25% din pretul original, provocand o adevarata avalansa a preturilor in acest an.
Astfel garsonierele situate in zone centrale se vand la sume intre 15.000 si 20.000 de euro, apartamentele cu 2 camere cu 25.000 de euro si cele de trei camere cu 35.000 de euro, vilele peste 200 de metri patrati cu 35-40.000 de euro, cu conditia sa fie in zone centrale- si cu 20.000 de euro in zone perferice.
Preturile terenurilor in Bucuresti, dupa ce au cunoscut deja o scadere cu 50% in 2014, vor scadea din nou cu inca 50%, la un pret inferior celui de 50 de euro pe metru patrat, in centrul Bucurestiului ceea ce va permite in viitor reinceperea constructiilor la noile preturi reduse.
Au aparut pe piata si trag in jos rapid preturile: peste 50.000 de hectare de terenuri construibile, intra-vilane, la care se adauga si un fond imobiliar de peste 3.000 de vile, in zone precum Colentina, Bucurestii Noi, Pipera, Baneasa, Damaroaia etc.
Locuinte care se vor vinde pe piata cu preturi sub 50.000 de euro si vor impinge si fosta piata de lux a imobiliarelor in prabusire.
Marja de discutie pentru o proprietate a scazut la 50% din pretul afisat, daca pana acum oferta si contra-oferta era de cc.10%-15% din pretul de lista acum contra-oferta ajunge la 50% din pretul cerut initial.
Piata imobiliara e corelata cu scaderea salariului mediu/real pe economie.
Cum in Romania salariul minim este de 150 de euro, rezulta ca nicio casa nu se poate vinde cu un pret de peste 300 de euro pe metru patrat construit.
PIATA CASELOR SI VILELOR: SCADERI ALE PRETURILOR DE 50-60%
Criza imobiliara este aici si va dura, deja avem opt ani de criza si trebuie sa ne adaptam la inca opt ani de criza-considera expertii din Statele Unite.
Companiile imobiliare, activand in zona vanzarilor de case si vile, au prognozat ca si in 2015, cele mai drastice scaderi vor avea loc pe piata caselor si a vilelor.
Principala cauza este criza economica, ce a redus drastic posibilitatile de achizitionare si investitie pe aceasta piata, coroborata cu scaderea chiriilor si reducerea numarului de firme interesate sa inchirieze spatii vaste pentru birouri.
Cresterea masiva a cheltuielilor de incalzire, taxe si impozite la acest tip de proprietati agraveaza situatia parcului imobiliar.
Se adauga faptul ca acest tip de proprietati este cel mai vulnerabil la rambursarea creditelor, executate rapid si vandute la preturi de 50.000 de euro, vilele mai pot ajuta bancile sa isi recupereze din pierderi.
Exista insa si zone precum precum: sudul si estul capitalei (Damaroaia, Berceni, Timpuri Noi, Colentina), care acum sunt nevandabile, piata fiind inchisa din lipsa de cumparatori.
AI CUMPARAT ! AI PIERDUT TOTUL!
Scaderile de preturi din primul trimestru al anului 2015 arata ca si in acest an cine cumpara vede valoarea proprietatii sale reduse cu 20% din primul an.
Concluzia e clara: ai cumparat, ai pierdut instantaneu!
Din chiar momentul in care ai semnat actele, valoarea proprietatii tale a scazut cu 15% si va continua sa scada, fara sanse de revenire in viitorul apropiat ( 5-10 ani).
Trebuie sa intelegem doua lectii evidente: pe piata interna numarul redus al cumparatorilor si veniturile instabile blocheaza achizitiile majore, iar investitorii straini pleaca, nu vin in tara noastra.
Romania nu este o piata interesanta pentru investitorii imobiliari deoarece nu a reusit sa iasa din criza, sa ajunga la preturi normale de 200 de euro.
Pana la reformarea pietei imobiliare, Romania, la preturi de 400 sau 500 de euro metru patrat,nu este atractiva cata vreme un investitor va gasi acelasi oportunitati in Austria, Ungaria, Bulgaria, Turcia sau Grecia la preturi de sub 100 de euro metru patrat construit.
In Romania piata este blocata complet datorita incapacitatii de a intelege evolutiile economice mondiale, cu un fond locativ imbatranit si uzat, cu o populatie saraca si cu o economie in regres, Romania nu este atractiva pentru investitii imobiliare.

Presedintele IRICE la Axum-capitala Africii crestine.
