JAKARTA, INDONESIA - Media OutReach - 18 July 2023 - Swiss-Belhotel International, the rapidly expanding global hotel management group, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with CTG Hotel, part of the largest tourism enterprise in China - China Travel Group.

The partnership is set to significantly boost the Swiss-Belhotel International’s portfolio.

Making the announcement Mr. Gavin M. Faull, Chairman and President of Swiss-Belhotel International, said, “The MOU with CTG Hotel will serve as a gateway for rapid growth for us in China and other international markets. The strength of the robust Swiss-Belhotel International brand, owned and nurtured by our International Group for over two decades, coupled with CTG Hotel’s vast resources and sterling reputation, will act as a catalyst for continued expansion.”

CTG Hotel, with its impressive portfolio of over 200 owned or managed properties, and parent company China Travel Group, wielding assets to the tune of RMB120.4 billion (US$16.9 billion) and providing services for over 60 million tourists annually, creates a formidable platform for Swiss-Belhotel International to amplify its presence globally.
