Mr Arthur Gindap, Ascott’s Country General Manager for the Philippines, said: “Ascott has been established in the Philippines since 2000 and today, we are the largest international serviced residence owner-operator in the country.
As the Philippine economy continues to grow, particularly in its business process outsourcing sector, we expect the number of business travellers and tourists to increase.
This will generate strong demand for international-class serviced residences. With our two new properties, we will further strengthen our position with close to 1,200 apartment units across six properties.”
He added: “Our Citadines Apart’hotel is an established brand with properties throughout Asia Pacific. Citadines offers a flexible services menu to cater to the needs of independent travelers who wish to customize their stay.
With Citadines Salcedo Makati, our first Citadines Apart’hotel in the Philippines, customers will be able to choose from all three brands of serviced residences to meet their different lifestyle requirements.”
