SINGAPORE, May 26, 2009 - Hotel Plaza Limited today announced the renaming
as Pan Pacific Hotels Group Limited, to reflect its growing reputation
as a leading branded hotel management company. Pan Pacific Hotels Group
also announced initiatives aimed at streamlining its operations to achieve
greater synergy and efficiency.
The Singapore-listed Pan Pacific Hotels Group Limited owns and manages
two brands, "Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts" and "Parkroyal Hotels and
Resorts", with properties across Asia and North America. This renaming
initiative follows the successful integration of the two brands into one
core business since October 2008 when the Group acquired "Pan Pacific"
from its holding company, UOL Group Limited.
With over 30 years of international recognition, the "Pan Pacific"
brand was chosen to represent the new identity of the Group, Pan Pacific
Hotels Group Limited, to leverage its strong brand equity.
"The
renaming to Pan Pacific Hotels Group follows the successful integration
process that now allows us to maximize brand equity as we move towards
a multi-branded business," said Mr A. Patrick Imbardelli, President &
CEO, Pan Pacific Hotels Group.
The group also unveiled its new corporate logo, represented by a strong,
simple and distinct "P". The new logo represents the group's focus and
continued commitment to its key stakeholders -- patrons, partners and principals.
Streamlining operations for greater synergy
In addition, Pan Pacific Hotels Group has consolidated its corporate
headquarters in Singapore from multiple prime business district locations
into a centralized new location. The move will contribute towards increasing
team efficiency and enhancing group communications.
With the integration of the two well-established hotel brands and renaming
of Pan Pacific Hotels Group, the new streamlined organization will be driven
by more efficient use and deployment of resources to drive greater innovation,
customer focus and partner engagement.
Part of the integration also included the recent launch of PANTHER
Distribution System, a single distribution platform for both brands. The
sophisticated platform provides customers with an improved reservation
experience, while allowing Pan Pacific Hotels Group to streamline reservation
operations across its two brands to achieve operational synergy and optimise
revenue opportunities.
