The Park Hotel Group announced at ITB Asia 2009 that it would parlay its experience as property owner-operators to enter into hotel management service contracts.

The Park Hotel Group has added eight properties over the last four years.

The group is further committed to a programme of expansion. It aims to open 10-12 new properties in the next five years. These are likely to include additional investments in Japan and China, as well as Southeast Asia.

“Park Hotel Group views future prospects for tourism and business-related travel across the region in a most positive light,” said Mr Allen Law, Director of Park Hotel Group. Addressing travel trade media on 22 October at ITB Asia, he said: “In line with industry predictions, we see a period of rapid growth and ever-increasing visitor numbers into the Asia-Pacific region.”
