Yong replaces Ogie Manuel, who will be taking on regional responsibilities as regional director of sales and marketing for Shangri-La’s resorts after 10 years with the company.
Yong joins the resort from Shangri-La Hotel, Guilin, in China. Previously, she was the director of sales and marketing at Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts’ regional sales office in Beijing.
She was also a member of Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort’s opening team in Singapore, spending seven years at the resort in the front office and sales and marketing department.
Yong said, “The resort always has a special place in my heart, as I have witnessed its ‘birth’ and now see it in a different light after its ‘rebirth.’ I hope to continue the good work of my predecessor, and lead the resort to greater heights and recognition.”
