AccorHotels - Best Global Hotel Chain 2016
Bazin, who has served on the AccorHotels board since 2005 and was named Chairman & CEO in August 2013, has been credited with dramatically transforming the Group, initiating a major digital revolution, implementing bold acquisitions including the FRHI network, expanding into new businesses including private home rentals, introducing a new name and vision and opening up AccorHotels’ distribution channels to independent operators, as well as this week announcing a new brand, Jo&Joe that will completely disrupt the usual hospitality codes, blending the best of private-rental, hostel and hotel formats, designed to meet the expectations of millennials and those who value sharing and spontaneity. Bazin has not only improved the Group’s financial performance since taking the reins, but has created a new culture that encourages innovation, agility and accountability.
If you are planning to travel to the US next year, it may be a good idea to lock-in attractive USD/SGD rates well before your trip - especially when the DBS Multi-Currency Account (MCA) is offering a promotional interest rate of 2.50% p.a. from September to December 2018 on eligible fresh funds deposited in the account. The MCA comes with a range of different benefits, so if you are expecting to transact in USD in the year ahead, you will probably want to take advantage of this promotion to lock-in the attractive interest rates and save up for your upcoming expenses in the meantime.
