Ascott also welcomed a record one million new ASR members in FY 2023. More than 90% of Ascott's direct web and mobile app bookings were made by ASR members, contributing to the channel's surge in booking revenue by over 40%, compared to 2022. The average spend per transaction of ASR members was over 50% higher than non-members. The dominance of pan-Asian travel was highlighted through the booking preferences of ASR members in 2023.
Out of the top 10 travel destinations for ASR members, eight were Asian countries, while the top five feeder markets for international stays were China, Singapore, the USA, Indonesia, and Australia. Building on the strong momentum, Ascott anticipates yet another stellar year for ASR in 2024, with 1Q 2024 already registering a 25% year-on-year uplift in member revenue.
Ms Tan Bee Leng, Chief Commercial Officer, Ascott said: "Riding on a strong momentum of travel recovery, Ascott saw the highest number of property openings in 2023. This brought about a record number of properties onboarded onto the Ascott Star Rewards programme last year, which included the successful integration of the newly acquired Oakwood portfolio into Ascott's operational framework. Ascott was able to provide higher value offerings and more choices, across brands and geographies, to our ASR members. Our pipeline of property openings following several consecutive years of record signings will propel ASR towards further expansion and innovation in the year ahead."
