Malaysia Hotel Innovation Summit 2026

Guava International was honored to participate in the opening panel at the Malaysia Hotel Innovation Summit alongside Chris (Chi Hyun) Cho from Accor, Junrong Teo, MRICS from The Ascott Limited, Pel Loh from Immersive Hospitality, and Dr. Timmy Ho from Praqmatique.

The discussion explored key hospitality growth corridors across Johor, Penang, and Sarawak, alongside evolving travel trends driven by leisure, business, and “bleisure” demand. The panel also highlighted the importance of aligning operating models, strengthening partnerships between owners and operators, and fostering greater collaboration between governments, investors, and industry stakeholders to support sustainable long-term tourism growth.

During the Q&A session, Guava International shared how we partner with global hotel brands to drive revenue and performance through wellness experiences seamlessly integrated throughout the guest journey.
