The Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting of Preferred Hotel Group took place at the Regal Airport Hotel from October 27 to 29, 2009.

Around 80 professional hoteliers from the member hotels in Asia-Pacific attended the meeting. A cocktail reception was hosted by Regal Airport Hotel on October 27, 2009 to extend the warmest welcome to all participants. The Chairman of the Board and CEO of Preferred Hotel Group, Mr John Ueberroth, kicked off the meeting by giving his speech of global perspective and company overview.

Ms Linda Roark, Vice President, Meetings & Events of Preferred Hotel Group, said “First, let me thank you for the interest your Hotel took in this meeting and the time committed to oversee all the details. Your team was excellent liaisons to the planning departments within the Hotel and made sure every meeting, break and meal was prepared correctly and beautifully. Your kind banquet and audio visual associates welcomed us warmly each morning prior to the meeting and stood by to assist with any last minute or updated requests. The housekeeping polished our guest rooms and delivered surprise gifts to us with their invisible moments in the hallways and rooms. It was all so welcoming and seamless!
It is always a mixed blessing to host one of our VIP meetings. We believe it is a great opportunity for our best hotels to present themselves to their peers. Congratulations for being such gracious and excellent hosts to our members. Again, most sincere thanks to your entire staff of excellent employees.”
