SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 April 2025 – The Ascott Limited (Ascott), the lodging business unit wholly owned by CapitaLand Investment (CLI), is celebrating the sixth anniversary of its loyalty programme, Ascott Star Rewards (ASR), with feature enhancements aimed at further enriching the travel experience for its growing base of loyal members. In 2024, ASR membership grew by over 40% to surpass five million. Ascott is setting a target to treble the number of ASR members to at least 15 million by 2028.

Ascott is enhancing its mobile app and website to reach 15 million Ascott Star Rewards members by 2028. Cubby, the GenAI-powered web chatbot on Ascott’s booking website discoverasr.com, now offers direct bookings with personalised property recommendations and the best rates.

In 2024, ASR members accounted for over 90% of Ascott’s app and website bookings, more than 60% of which were repeat bookings. On average, ASR members spent 55% more than non-members, which brought about over 30% increase in ASR-driven room revenue in 2024. Last year, ASR mobile app downloads surged by over 120%, with bookings increasing 64%, driving a more than 70% rise in revenue compared to 2023. Ascott’s web booking channel – discoverasr.com, has been seeing double digit growth for the past three years. As ASR continues to evolve, its focus will move beyond traditional benefits to include curated event experiences and personalised offerings through its mobile app and website. From a traditional points-based rewards system to an integrated solution, the strong growth trajectory of ASR within six years is testament of the loyalty from its growing membership base.

Ms Tan Bee Leng, Chief Commercial Officer, Ascott said: “To achieve our target of more than 15 million members by 2028, Ascott is making significant enhancements to our mobile app and website, to enable our loyalty programme, Ascott Star Rewards (ASR), to be seamlessly integrated into the digital journey. Tapping into the power of AI, Ascott is harnessing technology as a driver of efficiency, personalisation, and seamless customer engagement, as part of our tech-forward hospitality journey. This enhanced digital presence is complemented by our commercial strategy which focuses on offering compelling deals, benefits and exclusive experiences to ASR members. It also underscores ASR’s role in driving direct bookings for Ascott properties, reducing our reliance on online travel agencies. ASR members tend to book more frequently, hence contributing to higher profitability for property owners while delivering richer data insights for Ascott to enhance guest experiences and brand loyalty.”

“Looking ahead, Ascott will be stepping up our loyalty engagement with corporate accounts, to create compelling ASR offerings for business travellers as well as the companies they represent. We are also broadening the ASR ecosystem with more strategic partnerships such as airlines and airports, to reward members with more perks to enrich their stay experiences with Ascott. In line with ASR’s brand promise to Stay Rewarded, we remain focused on deepening connections with our members to deliver them the best experiences while supporting the long-term profitability of Ascott’s business,” added Ms Tan.

Industry Leaders, Regulators, and Innovators to Convene in Bangkok at the Intersection Where Digital Assets and Traditional Banking Enter a New Era of Collaboration

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 April 2026 – the world’s leading fintech show and the place where money does business, today announced the introduction of The Intersection Stage at Money20/20 Asia happening on April 21-23 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok bringing together the region’s most powerful voices across banking, payments, digital assets, and financial innovation.

[1]

Siva Kumar, APAC Legal Director, Sumsub, said, “The convergence of TradFi and DeFi can only succeed if trust, identity, and compliance evolve alongside technology. Asia is leading this shift by adopting regulatory models that enable innovation without compromising security.

The Intersection Stage brings these critical stakeholders together to turn regulatory progress into real‑world impact.”

Today, these two worlds are converging where digital money moves faster than ever, said Danny Levy, EVP & Managing Director for APAC & the Middle East at Money20/20.

Cora Ang, Head of Legal & Compliance APAC, AMINA Bank said, “Asia is demonstrating what responsible innovation truly looks like. As digital assets, tokenization, and new payment rails gain momentum, strong legal and compliance frameworks are essential to scaling them safely.
