ASCOTT CEO Lee Chee Koon wants to more than double the group's number of serviced apartments to 80,000 by 2020, and he is banking on this hospitality-residential hybrid's growing favour with travellers.
"If we grow organically, every year we add about 4,000 units. Going just by that, by 2020 we should hit 60,000 ... but I am setting a more ambitious target for the team," Mr Lee told reporters in a recent interview.
