Consultant Gus Agosto at the World Congress of Resort Properties

Consultant Gus Agosto delivered an insightful presentation at the prestigious World Congress of Resort Properties held in Pattaya, Thailand. His talk focused on the integration of valuation and planning practices in the context of Lapulapu City, Philippines—a city renowned for its vibrant tourism and resort industry.

In his speech, Agosto emphasized the importance of leveraging advanced valuation methodologies to complement sustainable planning efforts. He remarked, “The exploitation of various methodologies in valuation, coupled with the principles of highest and best use and feasibility analysis, can yield more reliable estimations. These, in turn, align closely with the goals of sustainable and responsible urban planning.” His insights underscored the critical role of integrating economic, environmental, and social considerations in developing resort-based real estate projects.

The Congress featured distinguished speakers from various countries, including Nepal, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Brunei, the Maldives, and others. It served as an invaluable platform for global participants to exchange experiences and insights into real estate practices focused on resorts and hotels.

Agosto highlighted how both the indoor seminars and on-site study visits provided participants with hands-on learning opportunities. He noted that these activities offered a deeper understanding of innovative approaches and strategies in real estate development, which would significantly enhance the professional practices of attendees.

Pattaya, Thailand, was a fitting venue for the event, being globally recognized as a premier resort city. Its reputation as a hub of hospitality and tourism added a dynamic layer to the Congress, enriching discussions and case studies with real-world examples of successful resort property development. Agosto concluded that the knowledge shared at the event would undoubtedly elevate the standards of real estate practice among the participants, fostering innovation and collaboration in the global resort property sector.
