The founder of Unlisted Collection delves into how he came to open Singapore’s first urban boutique hotel before it became a trend, and the models that drive his businesses.
“Travel industry is a people industry; you’re always facing customers. Some of them will be nasty to you, some of them you’ll love, you’ll make the best friends of your life. But all of it requires a certain mindset, a certain feel for. So, I always encourage people who want to be a hotelier, a chef, go work a few weeks, few months and get a feel for it. If you find your true calling, you’ll have the happiest career ever.” – Loh Lik Peng (33:56)
