As well. So about 15 percent would go to domestic . But I think over here will be more domestic,
maybe 85 percent. So we expect more business travelers here more than leisure guests,” she
pointed out.

Bullish on their first venture overseas, Wipulakorn revealed that they intend to double their target
number of hotels in the next 10 years.

“We also look at maybe investment into the midscale of four-star category in the Philippines,” she

good response. We also want to be a part of the community here.”
