"We're currently operating two of our own properties, managing a third and in pre-opening development on several other owned and to-be-managed properties," said Chris Duffy, general director of Life Resorts Management. "Fong will be busy, but fortunately he's already an expert on the product."
Based in Life's HCMC headquarters, Fong' responsibilities include development of marketing strategies that leverage the group's philosophical commitment to the senses, to cultural sensitivity, environmental awareness and feng shui.
"Life's vision as a hospitality player in Asia is singular," said Fong. "We're responsible not only to great hardware, but to the well-being of our guests' sense of smell, taste, sight, touch and sound. Our dedication to the multi-dimensional experience is what sets us apart."
