New Vietnam hotel brand launches
A new Vietnam hotel brand is born called Wafaifo.
It launched in central Vietnam and will open Wafaifo Resort Hoi An in Q1 2024.
The 134-key lifestyle resort is part of a new mall and other tourism-related projects.
Wafaifo will offer hospitality project consultancy across Indochina.
It is led by Managing Director Pieter van der Hoeven, and Commercial Director Mikkel Krantz.
Van der Hoeven and Krantz will work to establish the Wafaifo brand and the flagship urban resort in Hoi An.
“We see a gap for Wafaifo Resort Hoi An to establish itself as a proud Vietnamese hospitality experience,” said van der Hoeven.
“We will also be drawing from a deep well of hotel industry understanding from Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos.”
“The Wafaifo Resort Hoi An will be our showcase property. It will offer a modern Vietnamese aesthetic.”
The new Vietnam hotel brand will include Wafaifo Optimisers, which aims to help hospitality clients launch new projects in the region.
