“I am very proud to see the strong development of our footprint in South Korea with the recent signings of Mercure Ambassador Jeju, ibis Styles Ambassador Incheon Airport, Mercure Ambassador Pyeongtaek, and Mercure Ambassador Mokpo. These signings represent our commitment to South Korea, leveraging our global distribution network and extensive history as a world-leading hotel operator. We are so excited to launch our first resort in Jeju, the most visited island destination in the country, welcoming an average of 1.25 million people each month in 2019 or 41,000 tourists per day. I am also pleased to see the trendy and economical ibis Styles brand arrive at Incheon International Airport, which will serve as a great gateway hotel for visitors traveling through Seoul. With the destinations of Pyeongtaek and Mokpo added to our offering, we will provide even more opportunities for international and domestic travellers to explore Korea,” said Garth Simmons, Chief Executive Officer, Accor, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea.
Andrew Langdon, Senior Vice President Development, Accor, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea added “2021 will be a milestone year for our group with two key luxury hotels opening in South Korea. The first Fairmont and Sofitel hotels will debut in Seoul next year offering an array of luxurious accommodation and facilities. We will also be unveiling the Grand Ambassador Seoul associated with Pullman following its extensive transformation. Despite the current economic climate, our partners remained committed to working with us and share our belief that the long term future of the tourism sector is very bright. Accor offers a collection of renowned brands and has a proven track record for operational excellence, which is recognised by owners and investors.”
