​Leading international hotel brand Dusit International has disclosed its intent to increase its presence in the Philippines, beginning with reaching out to the upscale, long-staying travel sector. The hotelier has further expressed plans to tap the strong MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) market in Asia.

“We are looking to grow in the other cities and destinations within the Philippines as we are positive about the country’s tourism outlook and potential. These new projects can leverage from our experience and established networks in the Philippines and in the region,” said Ryan Chen, Dusit International Director for Development Asia Pacific.

Currently, construction is underway for Dusit Thani Residences Davao. The first Dusit Thani Residences in Asia-Pacific, the 168-key full-service residences is scheduled for turnover in 2018.

According to Chen, Davao was chosen because of the positive economic growth in the region, which bodes well for the international hospitality industry. He further commended the company’s timely partnership with Filipino real estate developer Torre Lorenzo.

Other projects in Davao also in the works are the dusitD2 Hotel and Lubi Plantation Resort. dusitD2 Hotel is a 120-key hotel that will feature high-tech and modern conveniences coupled with a chic and playful design that matches Davao city’s youthful vibe. Located adjacent to Dusit Thani Residences, this will be the first dusitD2 Hotel in the Philippines. Meanwhile, Lubi Plantation Resort is a 37-hectare master planned resort community situated in a private island off the coast of Davao. Developers intend to position the resort as the country’s first internationally branded club membership.

On a regional scale, Dusit International is looking to strengthen its capability to cater to the booming MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) industry in Asia.

“Industry reports show that Asia is fast becoming a preferred destination for MICE. With that, Dusit International is gearing up its services to meet this demand across our locations in Asia. We’re optimistic that our new properties in Davao will be able to participate in this trend. A key aspect of the industry in Davao is its robust domestic market and relatively untapped markets where opportunities for growth are abundant,” Chen shared.

Chen added that as incentive travel is on the rise, new destinations are being preferred. Davao, given its burgeoning economic growth, is further touted to be a destination that will best cater to business travellers.

He identified the country’s natural beauty and welcoming personality, coupled with Dusit’s reputation as an internationally-trusted brand, as key ingredients that will make Davao a prime choice for international and domestic investors.​

A new property development seeks to redefine luxury and sophistication by offering a world-class living experience in the heart of Davao City. Dusit Thani Residences is a distinctive, full-service residence project that blends hotel-like amenities and the coziness of home in one indulgent environment.

Dusit Thani Residences is being developed across 1.2 hectares of acreage, prominently situated to capture spectacular city views and provide access to the property’s panoramic landscape.

The Php 2-billion development is the pioneering leisure development project of Torre Lorenzo Development Corporation (Torre Lorenzo), the real estate property firm geared towards expanding its portfolio through focused communities such as Siam 8000. Located at Maryknoll Drive in Barangay Pampanga, Davao City, Siam 8000 is a master planned community project that is part of Torre Lorenzo’s plans to set the bar high for luxury living in the southern metropolis.

“At Torre Lorenzo, we incorporate all the essential elements to effectively create more focused communities that enhance the way people live. We are proud with what we have planned for Siam 8000, an impressive luxury residential community in Davao that will be defined through its distinguishing landmark, the Dusit Thani Residences. Equipped with sleek interiors, superior amenities and modern conveniences, Dusit Thani Residences is envisioned to make Davao the ultimate destination for luxury residence,” said Mr. Tomas P. Lorenzo, Torre Lorenzo president.

Nestled in an exclusive urban setting, Dusit Thani Residences boasts 168 spacious and luxury serviced suites ranging from studio to three-bedroom units. Each unit is thoughtfully appointed and designed with elegant fittings and furnishings, offering guests a relaxed living space and stylish retreat that embody contemporary dwelling.

Residents and guests at Dusit Thani Residences are afforded dedicated concierge, in-room dining, 24-hour security, housekeeping, exterior and in-room maintenance, courier and transportation services. Conceptualized with both business and leisure travelers in mind, Dusit Thani Residences also offers a plethora of premium lifestyle amenities such as spa and wellness center, swimming pool, specialty restaurants, business center, meeting rooms, conference facilities and more.

Dusit Thani Residences marks the entry of an Asian hospitality brand in the Davao market. The new project serves as the inaugural development venture between Torre Lorenzo and Dusit International. Renowned for its unique take on gracious hospitality, Dusit International brings to the table over six decades’ worth of property management expertise.

The Bangkok-based hotel and resort firm is involved during the pre-opening and construction phases of the project, taking on the critical role of design and development consultant, thus ensuring that it is well planned and successful.

With Dusit International on board the upscale project, residents and guests can look forward to experiencing Thai hospitality without leaving the country. As both Thais and Filipinos are celebrated for their warmth and friendliness, Dusit Thani Residences will be a fusion of the best of both cultures.

Dusit Thani Residences is expected to be ready by 2016. Once the project is operational, Dusit International’s pioneering Philippine property, Dusit Thani Manila, will provide strong support through regular training programs, leveraging on the company’s robust history of hotel operations in the country in the last 25 years.

“We are very confident that our partnership with Torre Lorenzo will be successful, given the alignment in vision, complimentary skill sets, and each stakeholder’s commitment to quality. We look forward to seeing this project come to light,” said Mr. Ryan Chen, Dusit International’s Director of Development for Asia Pacific.

Mr. Chen noted that Davao bears immense potential as a travel destination, and this would help the region to exponentially grow the local real estate market.

“We certainly believe that quality projects such as Dusit Thani Residences will help increase awareness of Davao as a destination and raise the area’s profile,” said Mr. Chen. He added that the Dusit International brand is deeply committed to developing projects not only in Davao and the Philippines, but through all of Asia.
