In line with the company's growth strategy during their 'Year of Expansion,' Asian hospitality group Dusit International announces the opening of a new Regional Sales Office in Tokyo, Japan to further develop long-standing relationships within one of the group's most important source markets.

Historically, Japan has been one of Dusit International's largest source markets and this is expected to continue ahead of the opening of the Dusit Thani Guam resort.

Operations will be led by Mr Keita Sekine, Regional Director of Sales and Marketing - Japan, Dusit International. With over fifteen years of operational and sales experience, most recently Mr Sekine was Director of Sales with Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo K.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from the University of Nevada - Las Vegas, USA.

Completing the Sales Team is Mr Shuichi Ueda, Director of Sales – Japan, Dusit International. Mr Ueda joins the Tokyo office as a transfer from his previous post at Dusit Thani Manila, Philippines where he was most recently Assistant Director of Sales, overseeing Japanese corporate and leisure accounts.

"Opening a Regional Sales Office in Tokyo demonstrates our commitment to the Japanese market," says Mr Sekine, Regional Director of Sales and Marketing – Japan, Dusit International.
