Dusit enters Yangon hotel market via management contract

On November 12, 2026, Thailand-based hotel and hotel management group Dusit entered the Yangon, Myanmar hotel market at a time when peers were abandoning projects and closing hotels. The report said Dusit adopted a management contract model for an existing hotel to limit its own risk exposure and focus on business travel, while bringing in an external party to vet the owner. The report also said that if leisure demand remains weak, most costs will be borne by the owner, and Dusit's main risk lies in reputation.
