DUSIT International has lent its name to three properties in Davao that will open within the next two years.
Earmarked for launch early-2017 is Dusit D2 Resort on Kopiat Island off the Davao Gulf, offering 200 rooms, a beach club with conference facilities, spa, lounge and a host of activities in the marine sanctuary surrounding the island.
A Dusit D2 Hotel in a luxury community development called Siam 8000 in Davao City will open end-2016 or early-2017 with 120 rooms, a spa and gym, conference facilities and restaurants.
Next to the hotel is Dusit Residences, which will have 168 luxury suites when it debuts next year.
An unspoiled destination not yet discovered by tourists, Davao has only a few foreign hotel brands including Park Inn by Radisson, Maro Polo, Microtel Inn by Whydham and Tune Hotel.
Janoo Hardasani, marketing project manager of Blue Development, Inc, which is developing the properties together with investor Torre Lorenzo Development Corp, told TTG Asia e-Daily: “We see tourism in Davao steadily increasing…We understand that flights to Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea are going to be open for direct flights to Davao, which should open many more doors for investments and tourism.”
Dusit’s Philippine presence is currently limited to Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati. But late this year, Anya Resort and Residences in Tagaytay (south of Manila) will open, including Dusit’s Devarana Spa.
