# Discover A Business You'll Love: Invest Globally
Dear Buyer
Asia’s vibrant growth corridors are calling, and in this edition of our Emerging Markets Newsletter, we’re charting two of the region’s most exciting opportunities.
First, explore the Philippines—an archipelago of over 7,600 islands that’s transformed from an agriculture base into a diversified powerhouse driven by electronics, tourism, services and robust foreign investment. Then dive into Bangkok, Thailand’s bustling capital, where wholesale and retail trade fuel a dynamic economy and some 16 million annual visitors.
We also spotlight two hospitality ventures where passion meets profit – bars and BnBs. These businesses demand hands-on management, coordination and a flair for unforgettable guest experiences. Read on to discover why these destinations and sectors are perfect for growth-minded investors in 2025.
## The Philippines: An Emerging Market of Diverse Industries
This collection of islands is known as an emerging market, which is rapidly expanding in both the world economy and on the political frontier. Whilst agriculture is still an important industry, electronics, tourism and services make up a huge part of the country’s wealth, with foreign companies investing in the country being a major stakeholder. |  |

## Bangkok: Thailand’s Bustling Trade Hub
After receiving significant foreign investment in the 90s, the Thai capital has experienced rapid growth amidst little urban planning, resulting in an eclectic city with activity in every corner. Wholesale and retail trade contribute 24% of the city’s gross provincial product (GPP), though the city attracts an estimated 16 million tourists a year. |  |

## Bars: A Lively Yet Labour-Intensive Enterprise
Owning a bar is the dream of many, but there's more to it than chatting to customers while dispensing drinks from behind a pump. You’ll have to change barrels, coordinate door, bar and cleaning staff and deal with inebriated customers – all over the evenings and weekends. For many people, these challenges are all part of the fun. Could buying a bar be the ideal business for you? |  |

## BnBs: Intimate Hospitality with a Personal Touch
The best bed and breakfasts are run by sociable owners with a ‘nothing is a problem’ attitude. B&Bs are hard work, but incredibly rewarding. BnBs can offer cosiness and a warm, personalised service that hotels simply cannot match. |  |
