“Since we entered the Malaysian market, our global formula has been instrumental in uplifting the operations of our asset owner partners and vital in ensuring OYO’s growth over 2018 and 2019. The success generated from the implementation of OYO’s formula generates further interest from other asset owners, thus continuing the cycle of expansion for the OYO network,” said Tan Ming Luk, Country Head of OYO Hotels and Homes.
