[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Kolon LSI announced on the 16th that it has established a Hotel Business Division and appointed Jin-Young Heo, General Manager of Kolon Hotel (50), as the head of the division.

The newly established Hotel Business Division will be responsible for establishing and executing strategies to strengthen competitiveness by communicating with Kolon-affiliated resorts and hotels located in major tourist destinations nationwide, including Gyeongju, Busan, and Seoul. The plan is to create synergy effects by integrating the capabilities of each business site while enhancing differentiation.

General Manager Heo is the first female general manager representing the Kolon hotel sector. She entered the hotel industry in 1993 through the Food and Beverage team at Jeju Paradise Hotel and has 29 years of experience in key hotel sales departments such as the room and food and beverage teams at various locations including Busan Kolon Sea Cloud Hotel and Gyeongju Kolon Hotel.

The company explained, "General Manager Heo has been recognized for her trendy sensibility based on practical experience and strong driving force, and has served as the general manager of Kolon Hotel since 2019." Within three years of her appointment as general manager, she achieved the highest sales in history and recorded a four-digit profit achievement rate. She developed Kolon Hotel’s content such as 'Dalbit Pocha' and 'Moonlight Festival,' expanding the customer base to younger generations, and also introduced AI robot caddies fully at the golf course for the first time in Korea. She is also expanding non-staying guest targeting businesses such as hotel bakery renewal and meal kit development.

The goal of Kolon LSI’s Hotel Business Division is to strengthen the position of existing resorts and hotels as lifestyle hubs in each region through continuous facility and service renewal. General Manager Heo said, "Based on the long experience of Kolon-affiliated resorts and hotels, we will focus on establishing and executing new strategies that add regional strengths," and added, "With strong communication skills on-site, we will quickly discover and introduce next-generation trends to lead a new golden age of domestic travel."
