According to ONYX Hospitality Group's CEO, Yuthachai Charanachitta, the Amari Raaya Maldives project represents the most substantial investment in the Indian Ocean region this year. The Panchshil Group, a renowned luxury real estate developer with a rich history of creating high-end residential properties, IT Parks, office spaces specially customized for a special economic zone (SEZ), hotels, convention centres, and luxury department stores, has entrusted ONYX Hospitality Group with the responsibility of managing the prestigious Amari Raaya Maldives.
He continued, "The Indian Ocean region is renowned for its stunning natural beaches, making it an ideal location for the development of luxury resorts. It has become a highly sought-after destination for tourists from around the world. Among the key target markets for this region are Russia, Germany, India, United Kingdom, USA, Korea, and Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, the potential for attracting Chinese tourists is also highly promising as the country gradually opens to international travel. The distribution strategy of Amari Raaya Maldives is focused on achieving a balanced distribution between wholesale and retail segments. Our top five target markets stand out due to our strategic price positioning and the exceptional and exclusive resort experiences we offer."
