HONG KONG, CH. September 15, 2016 - Marco Polo Hotels has appointed Mr. Kingsley Loh as Group Director, Revenue Management & Distribution.

With extensive knowledge of numerous management systems along with over 30 years of experience in the hotel industry, Kingsley will be instrumental in analyzing and implementing strategies across all Niccolo and Marco Polo hotels to maximize each hotel's revenue potential.
