Outrigger moves regional office to Phuket
Outrigger Enterprises is consolidating its Australia and Fiji operations into its Asia office, located in Phuket.
"We have grown quickly in the few years that we have been in Asia and are rapidly accelerating our expansion into other areas," said David Carey, president and CEO of Outrigger Enterprises Group.
Outrigger has two properties in Asia: O-CE-N Bali by Outrigger in Legian, Bali, and Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas in Phuket.
It has signed management contracts for three other hotels in Asia – Outrigger Panorama Bali Resort and Spa in the Bukit, Bali; Outrigger Clearwater Bay Resort and Spa in Sanya, Hainan Island, China; and Outrigger Vinh Hoi Bay Resort and Spa in Quy Nhon, Vietnam.
It is also in discussions for additional properties in Phuket, Phang Nga, Koh Samui, Pattaya and Bangkok in Thailand; the Maldives; Vietnam; China, Korea and India.
“We are looking to expand our presence in Australia again after the sale of our properties there in 2007," Carey added.
Outrigger currently has two properties open in Australia: Outrigger Twin Towns Resort, and Outrigger Little Hastings Street Resort & Spa in Noosa, Queensland; and one property in Fiji – Outrigger on the Lagoon on the Coral Coast, Viti Levu, Fiji.
Darren Edmonstone, Outrigger’s senior vice president-Asia, will oversee the consolidated Australia/Asia office located in Phuket.
