In addition to expanding in the U.S., China and Indonesia as part of our USD $100-million investment in coming years, we continue to strengthen our leading position in the existing markets by creating a holistic departure, transit and arrival experience," said Song Hoi-See, Founder and CEO of Plaza Premium Group.
