DoubleDragon Corp. said Tuesday its subsidiary Hotel101 Global achieved a milestone, exceeding 1 million registered users on its app.
“Eventually our goal is for the Hotel101 Global app [HBNB app] to have over 1 million registered users in every country where Hotel101 operates,” said DoubleDragon chairman Edgar Injap Sia II.
“By next year, we intend to complete Hotel101-Madrid, and we would start to build up HBNB app users toward another 1 million from the citizens of Spain, to be followed by another million users from Japan in 2026, then the United States,” Sia said.
Hotel101 also aims to have 1 million users each in the United Kingdom, UAE, India, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Mexico, South Korea, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Turkey, Italy, Germany, France and Saudi Arabia.
“The HBNB app with self-check-in capabilities will provide Hotel101 customers with a seamless hotel experience, starting from the time they book their rooms, to check in, all the way through to check out and settling the bill — all can be done in the HBNB app,” said Hotel101 Global chief executive Hannah Yulo-Luccini.
“The HBNB app is expected to become the most efficient and easiest-to-use hotel app globally. The Hotel101 Global hotel chain seeks to delight its customers by providing them with a completely predictable and consistent one-room concept anywhere it locates around the world,” said Luccini.
The first three Hotel101 overseas projects are expected to generate inflows of $471 Million (P27.2 billion) in foreign currency revenues to DoubleDragon.
It said the upcoming Hotel101 Global listing in the US would further strengthen DoubleDragon’s balance sheet.
The group said of the Hotel101 Global’s 1 million operating hotel rooms global target by 2050, 50,000 are intended to be in the Philippines, which is expected to further cement the position of DoubleDragon’s Hotel101 to become the largest hotel company in the Philippines and simultaneously become one of the top 5 hotel companies in the world.
