leadership in the mid-market segment, making it the preferred choice for
both customers and investors.Said InterContinental Hotels Group’s Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Mr. A.
Patrick Imbardelli, “We are on track with our business strategy to grow our
Asia Pacific portfolio, and continued growth in Singapore is part of this
strategy. Singapore’s strong tourism performance, driven by recent
initiatives to enhance the country’s appeal as a destination bodes well for
the hotel industry. We are confident that the new Holiday Inn Atrium
Singapore, with the incorporation of the globally renowned Holiday Inn “Can
Do” Service and offerings, is well positioned to cater to both business and
leisure travellers. It will also add another hotel of choice in Singapore for the
22 million members of our global loyalty programme, Priority Club Rewards.”

On the partnership, Patrick commented, “We are delighted to partner with
Avant again on the new Holiday Inn Atrium Singapore, the first partnership
being the Crowne Plaza Perth, Australia. This demonstrates the strength of
the relationship between the two companies whilst at the same time
recognising the value each brings to the relationship as we work towards a
shared goal of delivering value for all stakeholders.”
