Ascott ramps up upskilling to support global expansion

Ascott plans to open over 300 new properties by 2028.

Ascott is ramping up talent development to support the opening of more than 300 new properties by 2028.

This expansion is expected to create more than 12,000 new jobs, including over 1,500 property leadership roles.

The company will launch Ascott Accelerate, a structured talent management programme that accelerates high-potential associates into hospitality leadership positions.

This initiative is part of the Ascott Global Academy for Excellence (AGAX), a comprehensive training platform launched in 2024.

“As our business continues to grow and diversify, we remain deeply committed to developing our people, ensuring they have the skills and support to grow with us. Looking ahead, talent development will remain central to our strategy as we expand globally, with over 300 new properties set to become operational by 2028,” Lee Ngor Houai, Ascott’s COO for Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), South Asia, and China, said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
