This is line in with CLI’s asset-light strategy. Ascott’s strategic partnership with Sun Group to manage the biggest serviced residence development in Vietnam with three of our brands, demonstrates their confidence in Ascott’s global expertise and brand reputation. The project will be a flagship showcase of Ascott’s hospitality capabilities,” Goh said.
