Jaisal Singh of luxury destination experience provider Sujan has been elected as Vice-President, Member of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of Relais and Chateaux.
Singh becomes the first Indian to be elected to the position and joins Relais and Chateaux's new president Philippe Gombert's elite executive committee, which serves as the association's governing body.
The decision was made on 18 November 2013 at the annual Relais and Chateaux Congress in Berlin.
Gombert – of Chateau de la Tryene – believes that Asia and the Indian subcontinent is a major focus area for the growth of Relais and Chateaux - as both a source market and also as part of the expansion of properties in the region.
The move to appoint Singh comes as Relais and Chateaux feels that it is critically important to have an Indian member in order to take an active role in the region’s development.
“I am delighted that Jaisal Singh joins me as Vice President, Member of the new Executive Committee and Board of Directors, as a connoisseur of excellence and a strong commitment to the environment and wildlife,” said Gombert.
“I look forward to Jaisal helping me to expand Relais & Chateaux’s presence in Asia and the Subcontinent.”
The election of Singh features in a period of growth for the Sujan brand as it continues to offer unique destination experiences with an eco-conscious focus. Its latest offering, the JAWAI Leopard Camp in Rajasthan, is set to open this December.
