For many years Banyan Tree has been th e

leading brand of our group, with Angsana

as a secondary brand which has not had

much brand recognition nor market

penetration.

All that is about to change.

Within the short space of several months, a

slew of top-quality resorts will be unveiled,

bearing the Angsana brand.

This July, the Sheraton Grande Laguna

Beach Hotel, for 20 years the largest

resort in our internationally-acclaimed

Laguna Phuket integrated resort, will close

its doors. The hotel will undergo a total

renovation with over US$30 million in

slated improvements. When it re-opens

in December this year with completely

refurbished public areas, restaurants, guest

rooms, and the most in beach club on

the island, the Angsana Laguna Phuket

with its 409 keys will set the bar for all

future Angsana resorts.

Angsana Bintan, Banyan Trees 5-star sister

resort, has just re-opened to widespread

public acclaim after extensive refurbishment

to its 106 rooms and public areas.

Angsana Hangzhou, a new, contemporary

sister to the award-winning Banyan Tree

Hangzhou, will open third quarter 2011.

Its 59 rooms with a Chinese boutique

interior design concept will target younger

holiday-goers.

Angsana Balaclava will be a spa-centric

getaway with 50 suites, pool suites and

villa, setting new standards for boutique

spa resorts in Mauritius come late 2011.

CHAIRMANS MESSAGE

CHAIRMANSMESSAGE

By mid 2012, the 149 room Angsana

Lang Co the most luxurious resort in

Central Vietnam after the Banyan Tree

Lang Co will also open its doors, and

will in many ways, be the most luxurious

Angsana resort with sky villas featuring

penthouse rooftop swimming pools and

other pool suites.

These five resorts opening back-to-back

doubling the number of hotels under

the Angsana brand - mark a new chapter

in our growth.

The Banyan Tree brand has also been active.

In May, we celebrated the opening of our

newest hotel Banyan Tree Macau, in the

integrated resort of Galaxy Macau. This

all-suite urban resort features a Relaxation

Pool in every one of its 246 suites and 10

Pool Villas clearly the most luxurious

resort in Macau.

Elsewhere in China, Banyan Tree lays down

more roots. The Banyan Tree Riverside

Shanghai and Banyan Tree Tianjin will

open this year. Hotel construction will

soon begin in Huangshan, Yangshuo,

Lhasa, Nanjing, Chengdu, Chongqing,

Dali, Jiuzhaigou, and more. By 2015, we

expect to be operating some 20 hotels

in China.

We have garnered some 72 international

awards so far this year. This brings our

overall tally to 725 for the group, crossing

the new milestone of 700 once again

showing strong validation from our guests

of our quality, and continuing value to

our stakeholders.

As for our spas, the growth has been

even faster than our hotels. Our 65th

spa to open the Banyan Tree Spa at

Marina Bay Sands Singapore will be

a homecoming, marking a milestone in

our spa operations, probably among the

largest in the world today.

Jewel in the DeltaBanyan Tree Macau welcomes you to a tranquil haven in

bustling Macau

TOP STORY

Banyan Tree Macau welcomes you to a

tranquil haven in bustling Macau.

Colonised by the Portuguese in the mid-

16th century, Macau was the first European

settlement in the Pearl River delta. Through

the centuries, foreign ships, traders, and

travellers passed through its shores as

it grew from an important trading post

into the bustling modern entertainment

mecca of today.

New ArrivalOne of the peninsulas latest arrivals is

Banyan Tree Macau, which promises to

provide its guests with a Sanctuary for

the Senses.

Newly unveiled in May 2011, it is Macaus

first five-star urban resort with indoor

Relaxation Pools in every suite, as well as

pool villas that come with private pools

and air-conditioned cabanas.

Banyan Tree Macau is situated within

the brand-new integrated resort Galaxy

Macau in Cotai City, a sliver of reclaimed

land connecting the islands of Taipa and

Coloane.

Leisure, entertainment, and relaxation

options abound. Banyan Tree Macau offers

easy access to over 50 dining, gaming

and entertainment facilities within the

550,000-square-metre Galaxy Macau.

Sanctuary for the SensesIf you need to take a breather from the

adrenalin rush and excitement, simply

retreat to one of Banyan Tree Macaus

suites or pool villas.

All 227 suites Grand Cotai Suite, Grand

that a family or a small group of friends

would need for an engaging retreat: two

dining room, fully-fitted kitchen, and a

dedicated gaming room.

After hours of non-stop shopping or gaming

at the tables, a massage is definitely on

the cards.

Theres always Banyan Trees award-

winning spa, but if you prefer to stay

in total privacy, the Spa Suite would be

perfect for you. Within this 130-square-

metre haven stands a private treatment

room, where couples can indulge in a

rejuvenating spa massage.

Up the ante with the Sanctuary Pool

Villa, which also comes with its own spa

treatment room this on top of a private

outdoor pool, a landscaped garden, a living

area, and a gourmet kitchen. Extending

over 950 square metres, the expansivetwo-bedroom villa is ideal for families

and friends.

Additionally, a Resort Host is appointed

to each of the six Sanctuary Pool Villas.

Guests can count on their personal Resort

Host (contactable 24 hours a day, 7 days

a week via mobile phone) for a worry-

free holiday. Craving a freshly prepared

omelette for breakfast in the garden? You

just have to ask!

Romancing couples may prefer the intimacy

of the 160-square-metre Sky Villa, with its

indoor Relaxation Pool and private garden.

There is also the Pool Villa at 450 square

metres with additional perks like a pool

and 24-hour resort host service.

conjunction with the traditional Duanwu

Festival around the fifth lunar month.

Tower for the best views during the annual

Macau International Fireworks Display

Contest, which lights up the night skies

nights in September 2011. From 17 to

20 November 2011, Macau will host the

annual adrenalin-pumping 58th Macau

Grand Prix, the only street circuit racing

event in which both car and motorcycle

races are held.

Wine and DineThe Macau Food Festival takes place

around the same time as the Grand Prix,

bringing together a mind-boggling selection

of Asian, European, and local cuisine.

The unique Macanese cuisine is a melting

pot of Portuguese, Chinese, and even

Indian and Malay culinary fares. Rest

your feet at one of the many Portuguese

and Italian-style coffee shops in the city

centre, and dont forget to order somepastel de nata (Portuguese egg tarts).

Global events of recent years seem not

to have affected the growth and progressof China, which continues to march on

strongly.

The AscentThe United Nations World Tourism

Organization (UNWTO) reported that

China welcomed 53 million visitors in

2010, making it the third most-visited

destination worldwide after France and

the United States. It also predicted that

China would be the worlds leading travel

destination by 2018.

There is little wonder why China is one

of the most-visited destinations in the

world the second largest country in the

world, and also one of the most populated,

China offers an unparalleled selection ofheritage sites and culinary arts alongside its

remarkably diverse culture. Moving from

one place to another, the scene changes

from a secluded monastery tucked atop

remote soaring mountains, to bustling

cities with towering skyscrapers.

Soaring NumbersAdd to the equation a burgeoning middle

class that is eager to travel, both abroad

and within China itself.

China recorded a 21% surge to overtake

France as the fourth biggest tourism spender

in 2009 (UNWTO). As a source market, the

Chinese taking foreign trips is expected to

Early MoversBanyan Tree set roots in China in 2005

with Banyan Tree Ringha, a tranquil

mountain retreat in rustic Shangri-La.

Another opening in the Yunnan Province

soon followed - the multi-award-winning

Banyan Tree Lijiang, in 2006.

These were joined by Banyan Tree Sanya,

Hainan Island (2008); Banyan Tree Hangzhou

(2009); Angsana Fuxian Lake, Kunming

(2010); and Banyan Tree Macau (2011).

Adding to the Groups presence are

Banyan Tree Spa Shanghai and standaloneAngsana Spas in cities like Guangzhou

and Shanghai.

Latest MilestoneJanuary 2011 marked the successful closing

of the Banyan Tree China Hospitality Fund

(China Fund), which is the Groups first

Renminbi-denominated private equity

fund in China.

The capital commitments for the China

Fund totalled RMB1.07 billion, mostly

invested by high-net-worth individuals

from China, following the successful fund-

raising road show in 2010 to standing-

room-only audiences.

The China Fund, a private equity investment

fund, will primarily make equity investmentsin onshore companies undertaking

hospitality projects in China that will be

operated under either the Banyan Tree

or the Angsana brand.

The Path AheadThe successful closing of the China Fund

reflects Chinese investors confidence,

both in Banyan Tree Group and in the

countrys domestic tourism.

On the part of Banyan Tree, the China

Fund will enable the Group to reinforce

its growing collection of resorts and hotels

in the country.

Banyan Tree Ringha Banyan Tree Sanya Banyan Tree Hangzhou

In 2011, aside from the recent launch of

Banyan Tree Macau, the Group is slatedto open two other hotels in China: Banyan

Tree Riverside in Shanghai and Angsana

Hangzhou. More Banyan Trees and

Angsanas are also being planted in

China, over the next three years, with

hotel and spa projects in cities like Tianjin,

Jiuzhai gou, Guilin, Nanjing, Chengdu,

and Dunhuang.

Unprecedented opportunities abound

in China. With the fastest urbanisation

rate in history, plus a rising generation of

affluent Chinese middle class, the growth

of its tourism market can only grow from

strength to strength.

The Li people form one of the 56 officially

recognised ethnic groups in China. Amongst

the earliest settlers of Hainan Island, the

Lis recorded their history and culture using

intricate hand-woven textile patterns as

they had no written language.

Interwoven with their heritage, these

traditional textile techniques are at risk

of extinction as the number of skilled

weavers has dwindled significantly over

recent decades.

FROM A TIME LONG GONEThe Li brocade is regarded as the earliest

form of woven textile in China, dating as

far back as 2,500 years.

Historical records show Chinas legendary

weaver Huang Daopo acquired her

techniques from the Li women in the 13th

century. Born to a poor family, Huang

was a child bride at 12. She fled her

hometown and lived in Hainan with the

Lis, from whom she learnt weaving and

spinning over some 30 years. When she

returned to her native Songjiang district

in Shanghai, Huang passed on her skills,

marking a crucial point in the development

of the Chinese textile industry.

SPINNING A YARNTraditional Li textile techniques involve

spinning, dyeing, weaving and embroidering.

Using primitive backstrap looms, the

most distinctive techniques include the

warp ikat and double-sided embroidery,

employing cotton, hemp, and natural dyes.

It takes at least three months to create an

entire costume.

Daughters are taught at a young age by

their mothers through verbal instruction

and demonstration. Each textile pattern

is designed by the Li women by infusing

imagination with their knowledge of

traditional styles.

The textiles play an integral part in

major festivals and occasions, especially

weddings, for which the Li women design

their own dresses.

SAFEGUARDING CULTUREIn the 1950s, there were still 50,000 Li

women engaged in spinning and weaving

as a way of life. 50 years later, fewer than

1,000 know the techniques, with most of

them in their seventies. Causative factors

include limited natural resources, change

in the Lis lifestyle with globalisation and

industrialisation with mechanical looms,

all impacting this glorious and ancient

hand art.

The time-honoured Chinese philosophy of

Wu Xing or Five Elements symbolises the

life forces present in all things. Together with

the Yin-Yang balance, the five elemental

energies of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and

Earth form the main roots in traditional

Chinese medicine and wellbeing.

Banyan Tree Spa Shanghai, the Groups

treatments.

The Five Elements bath and body care

collection is available at Banyan Tree

Banyan Trees Concept of Sustainability

Sustainability and CSR guidelines provide aframework for harmonising the constructive

and beneficial outcomes of individual

enterprise with the interests of others.

By pursuing sustainability, firms and

individuals are constrained to internalise

value propositions that help to moderate

their behaviour without the loss of

entrepreneurial efforts.

Under socially responsible operational

guidelines, free market risk and reward

are kept in a more sustainable balance. It

is a check and balance decision making

process for businesses by requiring business

to address the triple bottom line:

a. Theeconomic bottom-linerefers to an

emphasis on financial performance,

not only to long term profit but to the

philosophies behind a companys strategy

or behaviour, the sustainability of its

businesses and its human capital.

b. The environmental bottom-linerefers

to the impact of a companys products

or operations on the environment,

plus the nature of its consumption

and emissions and how the company

is dealing with both.

c. The social bottom-linerefers to how

a company approaches issues such as

cultural, ethnic and gender diversity;

working hours and wages; staff security;

and the companys contribution to

community services and facilities.

Actualising a Sustainability MindsetIn 2007, Banyan Tree rolled out three

group wide external initiatives, Resource

Conservation, Greening Communities,

and Seedlings.

Resource ConservationThis group wide initiative seeks to monitor

and reduce operational impacts of our

resorts and hotels on the environment.

Specifically, we seek to reduce energy

consumption, potable water consumption,

and the amount of waste sent to landfill

at each location. Achievements are

benchmarked against the industry and

externally certified through the EarthCheck

program.

Greening CommunitiesOur resorts have been tasked to plant 2000

new trees per year while working with

local community members, associates, and

guests to create a wider impact by raising

awareness. While this effort may enhance

Meaning, companies must consider

the quality of their relationships with

stakeholders- customers, employees,shareholders, creditors, suppliers, society

as a whole, and our global ecosystems.

A triple bottom-line approach requires

companies to measure and enhance

those relationships on a continuous and

transparent basis in order to create value for

stakeholders. In the long run a companys

stakeholder relationships are intangible

assets which contribute to the companys

very tangible capitalisation value.

Conservation,Greening andMentorship

Sustainability theBanyan Tree Way

the air qualities globally and beautify

locations while reducing the negative

ecological impacts of human activity,

its main purpose is to raise awareness of

climate change and the importance of

environmental conservation, especially

within developing communities.

From 2007 through 2010, Banyan Tree

has planted 96,673 trees across Thailand,

China, Indonesia, Maldives, Australia,

Laos, Mexico, and Seychelles. The effort

continues to be rolled out as more resorts

open.

SeedlingsThis group wide initiative aims to support

at-risk young people aged between 12 and

18 by harnessing the core competencies

of our hotels. A three-phase program,

Seedlings provides: trained Banyan Tree

volunteers for 6 year Mentorships with

marginalised youths, Scholarships to

enable continued educations, and finally

2-year paid Internships within the hotel to

give valuable work experience once the

young person makes the adult decision

to enter the workforce.

By the end of 2010, 11 resorts had launched

the effort, translating to:

12 internal mentor trainers, trained by

University of Wales to conduct trainer

sessions

46 total young people under mentorship

and scholarship

46 active mentors (all Banyan Tree

or Angsana associates) and 43 more
