Bangkok, Thailand, February 19, 2021 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Best Western Hotels and Resorts is celebrating two decades of professional excellence in Asia<\/a>, as it marks the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of the launch of its first regional office in Bangkok, Thailand, when it was an emerging travel destination.<\/p>\n

This historic US-based hotel group anticipated the onset of the \u201cAsian Century\u201d as it embarked on an international strategy to serve the region\u2019s most important and attractive markets. In 2001, the first Best Western Hotels & Resorts Asia office was established at All Seasons Place in the heart of Bangkok, overseeing an initial portfolio of six hotels in four countries: Indonesia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.<\/p>\n

In 20 successful years since this major milestone, Best Western Hotels & Resorts\u2019 expanded Bangkok office \u2013 which relocated to the prestigious Gaysorn Place in 2007 \u2013 now supports a regional portfolio of world-class hotels and resorts<\/a> in eight countries, including \u00a0Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, with additional hotels in the pipeline, covering a wide range of exciting urban centers, up-and-coming cities and idyllic leisure destinations.<\/p>\n

This growth has been achieved through a strategic vision that has enabled Best Western Hotels & Resorts to evolve from a famous single-branded hotel company into a modern, multi-faceted hospitality group with a comprehensive collection of 18 industry-leading brands that cater to every sector of the market, from economy to luxury. This was completed in 2019 with the landmark acquisition of WorldHotels, a distinguished collection of the finest upscale, upper upscale and luxury independent hotels and resorts around the globe.<\/p>\n

Eight of Best Western Hotels & Resorts\u2019 innovative and intuitive brand concepts are now available in Southeast Asia and Japan \u2013 Best Western\u00ae, Best Western Plus\u00ae, Best Western Premier\u00ae, V\u012bb\u00ae, BW Signature Collection\u00ae by Best Western, BW Premier Collection\u00ae by Best Western, SureStay\u00ae Hotels by Best Western, and SureStay\u00ae Plus Hotels by Best Western \u2013 with more on track to arrive in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Best Western Hotels & Resorts\u2019 expansion will continue to focus on Asia\u2019s most exciting established and emerging destinations. These include Vietnam, which is expected to become the group\u2019s biggest market in the region within three years, in terms of room count. Key openings will include the 1,008-key Best Western Premier Sapphire Halong, which will become the biggest hotel in the group\u2019s Asian portfolio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to celebrate our 20th<\/sup> anniversary in Asia. In the last two decades, we have won many loyal customers and forged lasting relationships with our esteemed partners in the region. We remain completely confident in the underlying strength of the travel and hospitality industries in Asia, and we look forward to creating even more outstanding guest experiences all across the region in future,\u201d said Olivier Berrivin, Managing Director of International Operations \u2013 Asia, BWH Hotel Group.<\/p>\n
