To add, I'm not that optimistic about SGP hospitality even though I have a big position in some SGP hospitality REITs. On the other hand, Japan and Australia are experiencing some type of tourism boom due to their weakened currencies. Also, there is a casino building hype in Australian cities like Brisbane and Sydney as well as Japan currently and new supply is constrained - so fundamentals going forward could be supported.

But wouldn't the results be better if the AUD and JPY strengthen against SGD?

AHT result was better mainly due to absence of cost of SGD2.1mio related to unwinding of AUDSGD cross currency swap
2Q16 occupancy rate for australia and china was lower than 2Q15 but with a higher ARR and Revenue Par to compensate it
If AUD and JPY continue to weaken against SGD, will impact even more
Of all the hotel reits, AHT trading at the highest with P/B of 0.94 (therefore not much upside), average P/B around 0.86
If economy not going to do well next year, hotel reits should be trading cheaper
Not much upside already
Decent results and better than I expected.

yes you are right but can be bought cheaper
of all the hotel reits, it trading at a high of P/B=0.94 compare to average 0.87
Local hotel reit like far east trading at only 0.71
Yup there are Yen and AUD risks.
But what balances is that these are derived from freehold properties which means an indefinite income stream, unlike many other REITs.

This is another REIT fellow investors should steer clear off.  This REIT' s heavy exposure to Australia, Japan and China is a triple whammy. 
China is slowing down, dragging Australia to its grave. Without the commodity boom propelled by China' s unsustainable CAPEX driven GDP growth, the AU economy will not recover to its glorious days.  The good old 1.3 -1.4 SGD per AUD days are over.  Coupled with the euphemistically named quantitative easing in Japan (Abenomics), A HTrust is set for a long period of weakness from both reduced asset valuation (lowered book value) and reduced NPI from its currency exposure. 
And all this without taking into account the eventual interest rate hike. Did I mention its gearing ratio is more than 38%. JIALAT.
Definitely a no-go.
 
Been dipping lately?
Accumulating this stock at 0.72 target to stop buying around 0.75
