"The supply of new hotels is slow and concentrated among a few major groups across every country in Asia," said Andrew Langdon, chief development officer for Asia at Accor. Mr Langdon said small family companies, which comprise the majority of hotel developers, lack financing from banks.

Only large conglomerates with a strong cash flow and relationships with banks are likely eligible to receive financing, he said.
