Ascott deepens access to travelers through Alitrip

The Ascott Ltd, CapitaLand's wholly owned serviced-residence business unit, will make its global network of serviced residences available on Alitrip, an online travel service platform under Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group.

The Singapore-based international serviced residence owner-operator already has 24 of its China properties with 4,300 apartment units available for booking by Alitrip users through a directly operated online flagship store.

Ascott will list its global network of more than 26,000 apartment units operating in over 60 cities on the one-stop online travel platform by June.
