Hot on the heels of debuting in Europe in March with the opening of Dusit Suites Athens in Greece’s beautiful capital, and returning to Kenya with Dusit Princess Hotel Residences Nairobi, the company is set to expand its global footprint even further this year with strategic openings in more key destinations worldwide.
Dusit International, a prominent Thai hotel and property development company, is set to showcase its growing portfolio of international properties at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2023. The event, held from 1-4 May at the Dubai World Trade Centre, will feature Dusit International’s first-ever hotels in Europe, Japan, and Nepal.

During the event, the team will highlight Dusit’s exceptional services, guest experiences, and MICE offerings, all designed around the four pillars of Dusit Graciousness: Service (personalized and gracious), Locality (connecting guests with the local community), Well-being (offering wellness experiences beyond the spa), and Sustainability (embracing social, economic, and environmental aspects). Additionally, the team will share exciting details about the latest additions to the Dusit family.
This includes recently opened properties such as Dusit Hotel and Suites Doha (Dusit’s third hotel in Qatar) and Dusit Thani Tianmu Mountain Hangzhou (Dusit’s 11th hotel in China). Furthermore, 14 properties are scheduled to open this year across China, Europe, India, Kenya, Nepal, Thailand, and Japan.
