IN ANTICIPATION of 21 new hotel openings within Asia in the next four years, Hong Kong-based Rosewood Hotel Group has opened a regional sales office in Bangkok and appointed David Campbell as its regional director of sales and marketing – South-east Asia, to head the new office.
The regional sales office will represent Rosewood Hotel Group’s 55 hotels in 18 countries worldwide under three distinct brands: ultra-luxury Rosewood Hotels & Resorts, five-star New World Hotels & Resorts and neighbourhood lifestyle Pentahotels.
“Establishing a regional sales office in Bangkok is a significant milestone for Rosewood Hotel Group to support our rapid growth,” said May Pendraat Kredner, vice president – sales and marketing. “With (Campbell) at the helm, and by adding Bangkok to our existing sales offices in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai, we are well positioned to capitalise on the strength of our Southeast Asia feeder markets to help us reach our expansion goals.”
Prior to this, Campbell was the director of sales and marketing for Rosewood Beijing and has more than 16 years of hospitality experience in Asia. Before joining Rosewood, he held sales and marketing leadership positions with The Peninsula Shanghai and St Regis Singapore.
