a) Drastic reduction in tourists´ arrivals could jeopardize the project?Kerala is getting a good mix of both overseas and domestic tourists. If both the channels dry up at the same time, there could be a fall in revenues. Going by the last few years´ pattern, tourist flow to Kerala is showing a consistent upward trend.

b) Local disturbances, riots etc. could delay the project implementation? Vagamon & Munnar known as peaceful and serene hill stations with the local population keenly waiting for its development as a tourist destination. This could open up lot of employment opportunities for local people. There have been no incidents of riots or arson in Vagamon & Munnar in the recent past.

The Orion Group has an In-house Team of Architects, Planners, Engineers and Construction Experts having more than 2 decades of experience in construction of resorts/hotels/housing complex and this highly proficient team will be primarily responsible for the project implementation.

All preliminary works including land acquisition, main road works, drawings, design and planning have been completed. Architects and Project Consultants have worked out the overall project implementation schedule. Building of check dams, compound walls and common facilities are in progress. Overall project is scheduled for completion by December 2017.

Yes. Income from farming will be shared on 75 : 25 basis.

No. Property value appreciation in Vagamon is quite substantial and would accrue to the owners over the years.

Yes. Since it will be a fully operational resort, the resort management may have to offer an alternate Villa if the Owner´s Villa is occupied by tourists. In any case, all Villas have identical layouts and furnishings.

Average room occupancy at major tourist locations in Kerala like Munnar, Thekkady&Kumarakom during the last three years was over 260 room nights / year (exceeding 70% occupancy levels). At the proposed Vagamon Properties, assuming an average of 40% occupancy, we can get about 150 room nights / year. A decent one-bedroom villa of 4 Star categories can fetch a daily rent of Rs.5000/- plus in all major tourists locations in Kerala. To be conservative for purposes of estimation, we have assumed the daily rent for a one bedroom Villa @ Rs. 4000/-. After earmarking 50% of the rentals (Rs. 2000/-) towards resort running expenses, the owners of the villas could get a net return of Rs.2000 per day. Hence annual net return for owner of a one bedroom villa could be in the range of Rs.3, 00,000/- (Rs.2000 x 150). The same benchmarks are used for arriving at the ROI for 2 Bedroom Cottage, Suite and Executive Bungalows.
