DevelopmentAccor Signed Six Vietnam Hotels With 2,600 Rooms in Nine Months. Its Franchise Push Targets Much Smaller OwnersAccor signed six hotels with more than 2,600 rooms in Vietnam in the first nine months of 2026, all in Danang and Phu Quoc, the group says. That averages more than 430 rooms a hotel, well above its Asia average. At the same time, Accor is opening franchising in Vietnam to owners of 50- to 80-room city hotels. For Vietnamese owners, the Accor Vietnam numbers point to two separate markets: big resort deals with developers, and a new route for small independents to join a global brand.Today
OperationsHat Yai Hotels Face Slow Bookings a Year After the Floods.

DevelopmentAmerys Phu Quoc Opens With 113 Rooms.

KNI Group, an education and senior-care investor, spent more than VND600bn on it, its first hotel, and hired Private Palace Hotels, a European operator with German roots, to run it. For Phu Quoc owners, Amerys is a test of whether a tightly defined niche, families travelling with grandparents, can hold rate on an island where supply is heading for 31,000 rooms.Yesterday
