A rise in international travellers is breathing new life into the city’s luxury hotel sector, HSH CEO Benjamin Vuchot says

Hong Kong has welcomed a new wave of travellers combining business and leisure, who have revitalised the city’s luxury hotel sector, according to Benjamin Vuchot, the executive director and CEO of Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels (HSH), operator of The Peninsula Hotels.

“The opportunity is primarily driven by business trips, but it evolves into leisure as well,” Vuchot said in an interview with the Post on Wednesday. “That’s a very important trend from a growth perspective.”

He noted that what started as a two-day business meeting frequently transformed into a “bleisure” stay, with guests extending their trips or arriving with family to explore the city.
