We’re living in an era where technology and the internet are shaping the way we live, but it’s also true that we are directing that progress in ways that benefit our lives. Sansiri’s exciting new investments and collaborations answer the needs of an increasingly mobile and global audience, not just in terms of creating the buildings people want, but improving the lives of those who reside in them
By 2020, it’s expected that $1.4 trillion will be spent on travel each year. But in the age of the internet, people aren’t just travelling more – they’re redefining what travel means.
Package holidays, all-inclusive resorts and weeklong lounges on overcrowded beaches are on the way out. Now it’s all about discovering new cultures, spontaneous, last-minute bookings and living like a local.
That’s why Sansiri is investing in pioneering companies that meet the needs of the modern global traveller. From the trend of spur-of-the-moment staycations to an online home-rental management service that promises to recreate the hotel experience in people’s homes, Sansiri wants to make sure we’re offering the kinds of world-class travel options people have come to expect, while also setting brand new standards for what’s possible.
The next generation has the self-determination to roam the world’s most vibrant cities, the spontaneity to book a last-minute stay, the flexibility to plug into mobile workstations and the courage to challenge established models of living.
But with so much freedom and so many options available, how will they stay tethered to global conversations and make sure they are getting the most out of life? The same way people always have done – with guidance from trustworthy experts.
Sansiri understands that modern life is about choice, but we still need the influencers who can help us make those choices. We recognize that now is the time to partner with the kinds of game-changing global companies people are turning to for guidance.
From our collaboration with a taste-making, global media brand, to our investment in the world’s largest and most accessible online art market, Sansiri wants to give you the power to make all the right decisions in life.
Today, most of the food we eat is grown far away from home. The next generation cares about the ethical and ecological origins of food and knows that closing the distance between farm and table means better quality.
But with so much freedom and so many options available, how will they stay tethered to global conversations and make sure they are getting the most out of life? The same way people always have done – with guidance from trustworthy experts.
But what if you could close the gap entirely? What if you had a way of growing a whole range of delicious food right in your home? At Sansiri we’re always on the lookout for new ways to meet the needs of the modern citizen. Often that means finding ways to connect our audience with what’s already out there in the world. But then there are those moments when we see a gap, and we innovate. Sansiri specialises in meeting people’s needs, but we want to set new standards and create new expectations. Sansiri is equipping city-dwellers with smart indoor farms, so they can enjoy freshly grown food right where they live. It’s just one of the ways that Sansiri is collaborating with other forward-thinking global players to provide a new standard of living.
By 2025, 75 per cent of the world’s workforce will be made up of a nomadic demographic fuelled by an independent, entrepreneurial spirit and a global outlook.
They’re most likely freelancers or start-up owners, and the world is their office. The model that best fits their needs is the co- working space. It’s where businesses go to get social, more productive, and ignite that creative spark.
Sansiri’s recent investments reflect this shift in how people everywhere work and grow their businesses. We’re partnering with trailblazing companies who understand the importance of true work flexibility for the modern, mobile entrepreneur and office worker. These partners are connecting Sansiri to ever wider global workforces, while setting a new benchmark for workplace adaptability.
Hotel brands are changing the way they operate. It’s not just about offering a place to rest your head anymore. It’s about providing access to the local culture and community. These days, locals and travellers are moving in the same spaces – and what unites and drives them is that promise of real moments and experiences that might never be replicated. Choosing cultural enrichment over material goods, authenticity over novelty and local spots over tourist attractions, it’s a tough crowd to impress.
Sansiri’s answer is diversification: we’re investing in a new generation of global hotel brands that refuse to be pinned down to one way of thinking. These are hotels offering their worldly guests a host of experiences beyond just premium accommodation. Whether you’re choosing to eat in one of their acclaimed restaurants or dancing with the locals in one of their clubs, these are companies willing to transcend what a hotel brand can do.
