Sister hotel to the famous Rapopo Plantation Resort Hotel in Rabaul, the Sanctuary Hotel resort and spa, is being considered as one of the hotel accommodations for the AEPC Summit in 2018.
Son of owner and group operations manager, Jamie Pang stated this during the tour of the Sanctuary on Thursday.
Pang said previously before the Sanctuary was built, the property was in the No- Go Zone for APEC.
“However, since we’ve built this place, they have extended that No- Go Zone to past the hotels boundaries making the Sanctuary Hotel fully acceptable for the APEC people. We have already been accepted,” Pang said.
Pang said this is good exposure for the business and the hotel will be more than ready by then to accommodate those attending the Summit in 2018.
Owner and hotel executive director, James Pang said the Sanctuary is looking at expanding from its current 56 rooms it has at the moment, with one wing accommodating it 80 local hotel staff.
“We are still looking at expanding and we hope to get over a hundred more staff to join us when we open up for service,” says James Pang.
