Ascott said Oakwood will increase its global portfolio by 81 properties and about 15,000 units.

Upon the completion of its acquisition in Q322, Ascott said Oakwood will also “immediately” contribute to its recurring fee income streams.

It will add new markets which include Cheongju in South Korea; Zhangjiakou and Qingdao in China; Dhaka in Bangladesh as well as Washington D.C. in the United States of America (USA),” Ascott said in a bourse disclosure.

Kevin Goh, CLI’s Chief Executive Officer for Lodging added that Oakwood’s addition to Ascott will also bring an immediate boost to the company’s units under management and franchise contracts.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
