Business magnate Injap Sia's DoubleDragon Corporation is gearing up for international expansion with the opening of its sales hub and corporate office in Singapore.
The prime corporate office is on the fourth floor of the PLUS Building, 20 Cecil Street, at the heart of Raffles Place in Singapore. The sales hub, meanwhile, is located on the ground floor of the same building.
"The Hotel101 Global Corporate Office functions as the hub for our team members who are based in different countries as we form the right mix of experienced team members that will efficiently lead the expansion of the Hotel101 Unique and Asset-Light business model simultaneously in various countries," Hotel101 Global chief executive officer Hannah Yulo-Luccini said.
The Hotel101 Global Sales Hub in Singapore has the newest version of Hotel101's signature 21 square meter HappyRoom equipped with worldwide standard features such as the Queen bed and Single bed using Emma Sleep mattresses, IOT (Internet Of Things) App operable smart lighting using one single type of bulb, 55 inch smart TV, work desk, universal power outlets, electronic device charger ports, kitchenette with refrigerator and microwave, and an ensuite modern prefabricated bathroom.
The new global office, on the other hand, has been designed for construction and operational efficiency, optimizing the use of modular furniture and fixtures and prefabricated bathrooms.
"If there is one hotel chain that can optimize the use of modern technology in the global hospitality space, we believe it will be Hotel101, given its pioneering standardized signature 21sqm HappyRooms and asset-light concept globally," chairman Edgar Injap Sia II said.
Hotel101 previously announced its first three overseas projects: Niseko Hokkaido, Japan, Madrid, Spain, and California, USA. These first three overseas sites will serve as bridge projects to jumpstart the transition of Hotel101 to becoming a global brand.
The target near-term expansion roadmap for Hotel101 Global Pte. Ltd. is to be in the first 25 countries by 2026: Philippines, Japan, Spain, USA, United Kingdom, UAE, India, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Mexico, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey, Italy, Germany, France and China.
DoubleDragon aims to reach its optimal revenue generation level by 2025 and gain a significant market grip overseas simultaneously.
"Given that the world economy is getting more and more fragile and volatile, we deemed it imperative that the only way to future-proof itself is to passionately pursue the target of DoubleDragon's revenues to be derived from geographically diversified sources, that eventually, over the long term, we aim that no single country will contribute over 10 percent of DD's revenue and income.
"But of course, your company, DoubleDragon Corporation, will remain a deep-rooted Filipino at its core forever. And your DD team will never stop at any point, doing its unconditional responsibility, to continually be a significant contributor in Nation-Building, with our common goal towards a first world Philippines," Sia added.
