The Dubai hospitality sector emerged right at the top by generating the highest occupancy and revenues in January 2007. In doing so, it topped the efforts of New York, Hong Kong, Sydney, Tokyo and London.
Deloitte and Smith Travel Research have put Dubai with an 86.7% hotel occupancy rate followed by New York with 82.7 per cent and Singapore at 80 per cent.

For that month, Dubai hotels generated US$238 million, while London followed with US$153 million.
Department of Tourism and Commerce Director General, Mr. Khalid A bin Sulayem, said : “The excellent figures recorded by Dubai hotel and hotel apartments during 2006 is a reflection of DTCM’s aggressive promotional campaign to position Dubai as the world’s leading tourism and retail hub. It is also the fruit of an inspirational public-private sector partnership and government’s unwavering determination to be a model business and leisure destination.”

It is remarkable to think that the DIFC only came to life five short years ago in 2003, and that its debut was marred by controversy over a sacked regulator and then a local stock market crash in 2006.

Yet the number of financial firms in the DIFC passed 100 over a year ago, and the staff numbers are surging too. Support firms are mushrooming as well, with London commercial lawyers Herbert Smith for instance up from 10 to more than 50 staff in the first year of operation.

You do have to credit Dubai with astutely spotting another market opportunity: an international financial hub regulated to global standards with its law in English. Getting the big international banks involved at an early stage made success just a matter of time.

New buyers

Now consider the impact on the Dubai residential real estate market. These new professionals are largely expatriates from other financial centres and used to paying high rents for accommodation.

That is why they do not flinch at the high office rents in the DIFC where all space under construction is committed, and finding offices within the surrounding district challenging and expensive. It is the same story for residential property.

Bankers relocating to Dubai are pleasantly surprised by the cost of local rents, unlike long-standing residents who find them appallingly high. They are also likely to have access to low-cost, dollar-based housing finance to buy in Dubai.

Indeed, many bankers and DIFC support services staff are savvy enough to read the market correctly. Rental inflation has been high in Dubai and shows no sign of slowing down, so buying as a hedge against inflation of rent makes sense and is also probably a good capital investment as rental yields are high by global standards.

Past precedent

There are also good past precedents to consider. Bankers moving to Hong Kong in the early 1990s, for example, had the opportunity to buy property into an ongoing boom, and many kicked themselves later for not having bought when they had the chance.

Therefore, perhaps as the hot weather of summer subsides this year we are going to see a wave of new buyers in the residential market from Dubai’s growing financial sector. They will be hoping for a rising market to carry their investment forward and their own buying could make this a self-fulfilling proposition.

For the smart money will not only be moving to Dubai but buying property in the city while prices remain below comparable financial centres whose immediate outlook is not too bright.

In the US, the collapse of house prices since mid-2006 has been followed by the sub-mortgage crisis since last August. The policy response from the Federal Reserve has been to lower interest rates dramatically. This will allow banks to recoup their losses by increasing the spread between borrowing and lending charges, and gradually put a floor under house prices.

This dramatic loosening of monetary policy has had the nasty side-effect of stirring up commodity price inflation, most particularly in the oil market. For an oil-exporting country like the UAE, this means huge additional liquidity is flooding the banking sector with money supply rising at 37%.

Dollar peg

At the same time the UAE has its currency pegged to the US dollar so the nation has to track US interest rates downwards. Hence you have interest rates falling at a time of rising inflation, in short very high negative real interest rates.

That means the economy is effectively paying you to borrow money. So is it any surprise that there has been a huge dislocation of funds into real estate, further increasing upward pressure on prices?

This is not over yet by a long way. What message does a gain of 10%-15% in two months send to the marketplace? What greater encouragement do investors need when alternative investments all over the world look sick?

Well, how long will this last? Price gains of this intensity are not usually sustainable for long. But a 50%-100% increase in property values over the next six to 12 months is quite possible. After that the market would move sideways awaiting confirmation of its optimism.

Oil prices

Now with Goldman Sachs predicting an oil price spike of $150-$200 within the next 18 months that would suggest very much high property prices are obtainable and will be sustainable at least within that timeframe.
And let us not forget the supply side argument either. UBS has forecast that new property supply will begin to impact on the Dubai market by 2010, and if that came along with a downshift in oil prices – perhaps due to a global recession – then that would finally signal the correction.

But not before house prices reached very much higher levels than we see in the market today, with even observers from the world’s most highly priced property markets becoming shocked by prices in Dubai. Currently they still find the market good value.

The terrain is mountainous, with peaks over 1,280 M present on 4 of the islands. The island of Sal, however is relatively flat, and is one of the three eastern sandy islands, the others being Maio and Boas Vista. Sal is also the location of one of the islands international airports, and is the location for some of the best property investment opportunities on the islands.
Investment in Cape Verde
Reasons to invest in Cape Verde

The Cape Verde Islands enjoy a stunning location and have an excellent climate with warm summers and exceptionally mild winters, making the islands a truly year-round holiday destination. There are long white sandy beaches, which are the setting for a host of water sporting activities and it is the perfect place to relax, without the hustle and bustle of many Mediterranean resortsSal is the location of one of the two international airports, which are now providing direct flights to and from the UK. The volume is set to increase as the popularity of these islands grows.

Flights to Sal are provided through Astraeus Airlines from Manchester and London Gatwick, as well as many charter flights. Flight time is approximately 5-6 hours, providing a tropical island much closer than the Caribbean or far-east.The tourism market in Cape Verde is increasing fast (24.6% rises in 2006), in particular on Sal – the most visited of the Islands. GDP growth is at a very healthy 6.1% providing an excellent environment for investment with real estate booming on the islands.

The rapid improvement in the infrastructure and high levels of investment on the island will be of major benefit to early investors, particularly on the island of Sal, where the major work is being completed. Comparisons with the Canary Islands some 30 years ago have been made, however strong planning restrictions on the island will prevent them from becoming saturated with properties, providing a solid exit strategy as supply is restricted.

Compared with Mediterranean destinations and in particular the islands, Cape Verde provides an unrivalled opportunity for low prices and high quality properties, in an idyllic setting with tremendous potential for capital growth.
