July 21, 2014 - Dusit Fudu Hotels & Resorts, the Chinese joint venture hotel management company between leading Asian hospitality group Dusit International and local partners Changzhou Qiao Yu Group, has announced the signing of 15 hotel management agreements in its first year of operation.

In addition, there are more than 12 developments under negotiation in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Changsha, Zaozhuang, Chengdu and Guiyang.

China is a market with abundant opportunities, with domestic tourism a key driver of growth.

In 2013, number of domestic tourists stood at 3.25 billion with revenues of RMB2.54 trillion.

It is estimated that the number of domestic tourists in 2014 will reach 3.58 billion, representing a 12 per cent increase year-on-year and generate revenues of RMB2.85 trillion.

Hotels included as part of the joint venture include Dusit Devarana Hot Springs & Spa Conghua, Guangzhou (set to open in 2014), Dusit Devarana Dianchi Lake, Kunming (2016) and Dusit Devarana Fuxian Lake, Yunnan (2017).

“Dusit Fudu is on track to have 50 hotels within the next five years under its belt, despite being a newcomer in a competitive marketplace,” noted Lim Boon Kwee, president, Dusit Fudu Hotels & Resorts.

“We are pleased to bring four distinct hotel brands to China: Dusit Devarana, Dusit Thani, dusitD2 and Dusit Princess, as well as our signature Devarana Spa.”

Dusit Devarana is a significant niche offering, providing an intimate, high-end sanctuary experience for the discerning traveller.

Dusit Thani is a deluxe upscale brand rooted in the traditional, gracious hospitality of Thai culture.

The full service upscale dusitD2 brand offers a combination of chic design, technology, convenience and efficient service for the 'next generation' traveller, while Dusit Princess is a mid-scale brand that provides great service in key gateway locations for mainly business guests.

With over 65 years' experience in the hotel and hospitality field, Dusit serves as a trusted symbol of Thai values.

Guests experience the genuine warmth, respectfulness and commitment of the associates with each stay and in each moment, regardless where the hotel may be located.
