price of HPL is S$1.99 and is aiming to a price of S$2.75. With the global

just the hotels in Singapore is worth $$4.58 per share or may be more than
twice its current share price.

Future scope: Hotel

three hotels which are in Singapore result for 33% of its estimated FY12 EBIT.
This is only from the hotel operations. HPL has new tourism infrastructure
which would help Singapore rank as a world – class travel destination. The
expectation of visitor arrivals in 2012 is to reach a record of 14.2 m. This
would in return increase the tourism receipts reaching to S$24 billion. As per
the property consultancy in Singapore, a total of 10,971 hotel rooms would be
added to Singapore hotel, of which 2,301 rooms will be added to the orchard
Road area. This would in return add up to 32% increase to the existing hotel
supply in this area.
Hotel properties
Ltd. Is now planning to take up existing hotels and start business with
them. Due to this the cost would be minimal in development and also it would
not impact the economy much. It should not have a large impact on the existing
supply.
HPL plans to reevaluate their existing assets. Two of its
hotels Hilton Singapore and Four seasons Orchard Boulevard itself sum up to
S$1.47 per share and translating to 75% of the current share value.
