Thailand’s Dusit International, represented in China by Dusit Fudu Hotels and Resorts, has signed a management agreement with Tengchong Zongheng Volcano Tourism Development Co. to manage Dusit Devarana Hot Springs Resort Tengchong, Yunnan.
Situated in the western part of Yunnan Province, Tengchong is a fast-growing destination renowned for its hot springs, volcanoes, ancient buildings and important historical sites.
For 2,000 years it served as a vital link on the ancient southwestern Silk Route.
With 28 properties currently in operation across four brands in eight countries, Dusit International is in a significant growth phase which will see the number of Dusit properties surpass 70 within the next three years across key markets worldwide.
In China, the company currently operates six hotels and has more than 20 properties in the pipeline.
The Hot Springs Resort Tengchong resort will comprise 150 villas and guest rooms 10 minutes by car from Tengchong town centre, and 30 minutes from Tengchong Tuofeng Airport.
The resort’s key feature will be the outdoor hot springs experience providing a choice of therapeutic, aromatic, splash and foot reflexology pools.
Each villa will have its own hot springs pool where guests can enjoy views of the volcanic landscape.
Other resort facilities will include an all-day-dining restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, ballroom, meeting rooms, and fully equipped gymnasium, plus Dusit’s signature Devarana Spa.
Lim Boon Kwee, chief operating officer, Dusit International, said, “Dusit Devarana represents the pinnacle of our brand offerings, providing a truly personalised experience for those who seek a balance of tranquillity, convenience and excellence.”
Zhang Fan, chairman, Tengchong Zongheng Volcano Tourism Development, said, “Yunnan will become a must-visit destination, attracting even more tourists to discover this fascinating area to the benefit of the local community.”
