Asian hotel brands are expanding rapidly beyond their home markets as international tourism rebounds and hospitality demand grows. From luxury resorts and business hotels to serviced residences and lifestyle hospitality, Asian groups are increasingly competing with established global players. At the same time, rising outbound travel from Asia is creating stronger demand for familiar regional brands abroad. Because of this, Asian hospitality companies are becoming more influential in the global tourism industry.
