Best Western Hotels & Resorts today announced that Erwann Mahe has been appointed Managing Director - Asia. His extensive industry knowledge and experience make Mahe the ideal candidate to drive Best Western Hotels & Resorts' future growth in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

Mahe joins the Best Western Hotels & Resorts team with over 23 years of industry knowledge - his prior roles range from managing large-scale Accor hotels to holding executive-level positions, including Chief Operations Officer at Red Planet Hotels and Executive Vice President of Hotel Investment at The Erawan Group.

Under Mahe's leadership, Best Western Hotels & Resorts will continue its focus on driving superior revenue to its hoteliers, expanding its portfolio of offerings in premier destinations, and providing exceptional travel experiences to its guests.
