ONYX Hospitality Group Reinforces Long-Term Commitment to Key Market Japan Through Targeted Development Strategy


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2025 – ONYX Hospitality Group, the prominent management company in Southeast Asia specialising in hotels and resorts, serviced apartments and luxury residences, is reinforcing its long-term commitment to Japan as a key strategic market through a targeted development initiative. As part of its broader vision for growth in Northeast Asia, ONYX will embark on a focused Japan Sales Mission from 29th September to 3rd October 2025, aimed at strengthening trade partnerships and laying the groundwork for future growth in the region.

This initiative centres on one-on-one meetings with key partners, reflecting ONYX’s strategic focus on consultative engagement and its dedication to cultivating long-term, mutually beneficial relationships within the Japanese travel trade.

“Japan is a market that rewards consistency, depth, and cultural alignment,” said Mr Yuthachai Charanachitta, CEO of ONYX Hospitality Group. “Success here relies on strong, ongoing partnerships with travel agents and tour operators, and we are fully committed to nurturing these relationships. This sales mission is a key part of our long-term strategy to tailor our offerings to the evolving needs of Japanese travellers and steadily grow our presence through thoughtful, partner-led development.”

The sales mission and partner engagements will focus on showcasing ONYX’s key properties in Thailand, highlighting the Group’s strong presence in a region highly appealing to Japanese tourists. Thailand remains a top destination for medical and wellness tourism, golf travel, as well as long-stay and retirement segments – niches that are especially popular among Japanese travellers. ONYX Hospitality Group is uniquely positioned to cater to these markets through its diversified portfolio across key Thai destinations.

Bangkok and Phuket consistently rank among the top preferred destinations for Japanese travellers, creating exciting opportunities for several of ONYX’s flagship properties across its Amari, OZO, and Shama brands. Properties that are already well-regarded by Japanese travellers include Amari Bangkok, Amari Phuket, Amari Pattaya, OZO North Pattaya, and Shama Lakeview Asoke Bangkok. This diverse portfolio reflects the varied preferences of the Japanese market, ranging from the warm hospitality and comprehensive services of Amari, the contemporary appeal of OZO, to the spacious serviced apartments offered by Shama.

Beyond well-known destinations, there is growing interest among Japanese travellers in emerging areas such as Chonburi Province, located on Thailand’s eastern Gulf coast and home to popular beach towns like Bangsaen and Pattaya. This opens further potential for properties such as Amari Pattaya, OZO North Pattaya, and the newly opened Amari Bangsaen, located approximately 85 kilometres southeast of Bangkok and close to Pattaya. Similarly, Khao Lak, in Phang Nga Province north of Phuket, represents a promising market for Amari Vogue Krabi, located nearby in Krabi Province. This reflects rising interest in secondary Thai destinations.

The upcoming activities in Japan aim to further strengthen the profile of ONYX’s established key properties while also exploring opportunities to tailor offerings at emerging destinations, meeting the evolving needs of the Japanese market and deepening engagement with the travel trade.

Further enhancing ONYX’s strong portfolio and proactive efforts, robust air connectivity between Thailand and Japan – including direct flights from Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka – enhances travel convenience, supporting frequent visits by both leisure and business travellers, as well as long-stay visitors.

As part of ONYX Hospitality Group’s strategic growth, the upcoming Japan sales mission will highlight properties under the newly established ONYX Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust (ONYXRT). This REIT was set up through a filing with Thailand’s Securities and Exchange Commission and initially includes four high-performing leasehold properties: Amari Bangkok, Amari Pattaya, OZO Pattaya, and OZO Phuket – all demonstrating strong average occupancy rates above 80%. Featuring ONYXRT properties in the Japan sales mission underlines the Group’s integrated approach, combining operational excellence with asset optimisation to maximise value across its portfolio.

The sales mission reinforces ONYX Hospitality Group’s long-term commitment to the Japanese market by strengthening strategic relationships with leading wholesalers, OTAs, and retail agencies. It will highlight ONYX’s commitment to aligning its offerings with the evolving preferences of Japanese travellers, while gathering valuable market insights to inform future product and marketing development. By maintaining a consistent and engaged presence, ONYX aims to secure sustainable growth and deepen its footprint in this important market over the years to come.

Thailand Condemns Cambodia, Downgrades Diplomatic Ties Over Border Attacks

This is a developing story. 

LATEST UPDATE FROM THAILAND’S MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

The Royal Thai Government has condemned Cambodia for what it describes as “intentional and premeditated” acts violating Thailand’s sovereignty, following a series of violent incidents along the Thai-Cambodian border.

According to an official statement, anti-personnel landmines were laid within Thai territory, injuring Thai military personnel during patrols on 16 and 23 July. 

The situation escalated further on 24 July when “heavy artillery was fired into the Thai military base and continued throughout the morning,” with attacks also hitting civilian areas, including a hospital. These strikes resulted in civilian casualties and fatalities.

In response, Thailand announced it would downgrade diplomatic relations with Cambodia, recalling its ambassador and requesting Phnom Penh to do the same. 

“The Royal Thai Government has decided to downgrade our diplomatic relations and recall the Thai Ambassador to Cambodia back, as well as request the Government of Cambodia to recall its Ambassador to Thailand, respectively,” the statement reads.

The Thai government also urged Cambodia to take full responsibility and cease all violations, warning of further action if hostilities continue.

 “The Royal Thai Government is prepared to intensify our self-defense measures if Cambodia persists in its armed attack and violations of Thailand’s sovereignty in accordance with international law and principles.”

Thailand emphasized that Cambodia’s actions “fundamentally contradict the principles of good neighborly relations and good faith,” and risk damaging Cambodia’s “reputation and credibility on the global stage.”

MAG Visitor Information Center Reopens in Vientiane

On 25 July, the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) reopened its Visitor Information Center in Vientiane, inviting the public to explore the story of unexploded ordnance (UXO) contamination in Laos and the ongoing clearance work that continues to save lives.

The agency representing artists with disabilities, HERALBONY, wins a Gold Lion at Cannes ahead of creative industry giants.


PARIS, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 July 2025 – HERALBONY is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Gold Lion in the “Glass: The Lion for Change” category at the Cannes Lions 2025, the largest gathering of the creative communications industry.

Cannes

The agency representing artists with disabilities

HERALBONY is a creative company that works with artists with disabilities. We craft unique brand experiences through art and storytelling, bringing inclusivity into business. By showcasing their unique expressions and sharing their narratives, we aim to change perceptions of disability and build a society where every ‘difference’ is valued.

Managing a collection of over 2,000 artworks by neurodiverse artists, we ensure fair royalties and foster a sustainable business model. Our in-house brand, HERALBONY, produces high-quality products infused with artistry and craftsmanship. Additionally, we collaborate with companies to co-create inclusive experiences and creative projects.

We also organize the HERALBONY Art Prize, an international award recognizing outstanding artists with disabilities. In July 2024, we established HERALBONY EUROPE in Paris—our first overseas subsidiary—to further expand our vision on a global scale.

Jury President’s Comments from KR Liu (Global Head of Product Innovation & Marketing Partnerships for Platforms and Devices, Google)

‘Glass: The Lion for Change’ was established to celebrate campaigns that challenge gender inequality and stereotypes and drive societal and cultural change. This year, the scope of evaluation was expanded beyond gender to include disability, race, sexuality, and social inequality. Additionally, sustained, long-term impact was introduced as a new evaluation criterion, raising the standards even further.

Through the judging process, I learned about HERALBONY for the first time. As I deepened my understanding of the project, I was deeply moved by how HERALBONY creates opportunities for people with disabilities to thrive as artists and creators.

We were also highly impressed by HERALBONY’s collaborative work with companies to create significant social impact. Instead of merely growing its own brand, HERALBONY ventured into co-creation with other organizations—a remarkable move that allows for broader and more meaningful societal transformation. I truly hope HERALBONY continues this initiative moving forward.
