Having worked with the company over 16 years, Dong has experience in managing procurement, quality analysis and project development for property hotels in this region.

“I am honored to be taking on the leadership role for BWH Hotels China,” Dong said.

“This company has been part of my family for decades, and I’m proud to carry on the legacy of my father, William Dong.

“Thank you to my father for trusting me and for his hard work and commitment that brought the company to where it is today. I am committed to showing hoteliers and customers our commitment to excellence and look forward to taking on new challenges.”

Former President and CEO of BWH Hotels China, William Dong said he looks forward to watching his son bring new and innovative ideas to BWH Hotels China.

“His commitment to treating the team with care and respect will continue to help the company grow,” he said.
