opened in mid 2005 as the only resort of superior accommodation in this little touched

developed.
Chandara Resort & Spa is undoubtedly in the best position at Po Bay.

The Banyan Tree branding the intangibleJochen WirtzBa.docxmehek4
The Banyan Tree: branding the intangible
Jochen Wirtz
Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts had become a leading player in the luxury resort and spa market
in Asia. As part of its growth strategy, Banyan Tree had launched new brands and brand
extensions that included resorts, spas, residences, destination club memberships, retail outlets,
and even museum shops. Now, the company was preparing to aggressively grow its global
footprint in the Americas, Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East while preserving its distinctive
Asian identity and strong brand image of Banyan Tree.
A brand synonymous with private villas, tropical garden spas, and retail galleries promoting
traditional craft, Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts (BTHR) received its first guest in 1994 in
Phuket, Thailand. Since then, it had grown into a leading manager and developer of niche
and premium resorts, hotels and spas in Asia Pacific. Despite having minimal advertising,
Banyan Tree achieved global exposure and a high level of brand awareness through the
company’s public relations and global marketing programs. Much interest was also
generated by the company’s socially responsible business values and practices caring for
the social and natural environments. With a firm foothold in the medium-sized luxury resorts
market, the company introduced a new and contemporary brand Angsana in 2000 to gain a
wider customer base. As the resorts market became increasingly crowded with similar
competitive offerings, lured by the success of Banyan Tree, the company had to
contemplate about expanding its business and preserving its distinct identity. Banyan Tree
and Angsana resorts were expanding geographically outside of Asia and also into the urban
hotel market in major cities throughout the world. With around 34 hotels and resorts
scheduled to open over the next three years, Banyan Tree faced the challenge of translating
and maintaining the success of a niche Asian hospitality brand into various market segments
on a global scale.
Company background
By end of 2008, BTHRs managed and/or had ownership interests in 25 resorts and hotels,
68 spas, 65 retail galleries, and two golf courses in 55 locations in 23 countries. Since its
establishment in 1994, the company’s flagship brand, Banyan Tree, had won some 400
international tourism, hospitality, design, and marketing awards, some of which included the
‘‘Best Resort Hotel in Asia-Pacific’’ (Phuket) for four consecutive years from Business
Traveller Awards since 2002, ‘‘Seychelles’ Best Resort’’ and ‘‘Seychelles’ Best Spa’’ from
World Travel Awards (2003), ‘‘Best Hotels for Rooms’’ (Bangkok) from UK Conde Nast
Traveller (2006), ‘‘Best Hotel (Luxury)’’ (Lijiang) from Hospitality Design Awards (2007), and
‘‘PATA Gold Award – Ecotourism Project Category’’ (Bintan) from Pacific Asia Travel
Association Gold Awards (2008)[1].
