JAPANESE hospitality group Fujita Kanko will open its second overseas office in Seoul on August 1. The company’s first overseas office was unveiled in Shanghai in 2010.
Starting next month, Fujita Kanko will incorporate the Shanghai office to build up its Asian business base. The company intends to use its offices in Shanghai and Seoul to maximise sales & marketing and business development efforts in the region.
“Opening the Seoul office and incorporating our Shanghai office demonstrates our firm commitment to the Asian market,” said Kazumasa Suezawa, Fujita Kanko’s president & CEO.
“We will expand our overseas bases wherever we see opportunities, because we are eager to introduce our unique properties – including our flagship, Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo – to international upscale travellers.”
Fujita Kanko recently took over the management of Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo, which will be rebranded as Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, and is scheduled to reopen on January 1, 2013 (TTG Asia e-Daily, June 29, 2012).
