SINGAPORE - Mr Evan Kwee opened two Capella hotels remotely amid the pandemic - a riverside resort in Bangkok and an opera-inspired boutique hotel in Hanoi. From photo shoots to orientations, his Singapore-based corporate team finessed details over borderless Zoom meetings.
On May 18, he will launch Patina Maldives, Fari Islands. The luxury resort is sequestered on an island, a natural travel bubble in the Maldives, which has kept borders open since July last year and is feted as a tourism success story.
