Formosa International Hotels Corporation （FIH） today announces that it has formalised a joint venture agreement with InterContinental Hotels Group （IHG） to accelerate the international expansion of Regent Hotels Resorts （Regent）.

Under this agreement， IHG will take a controlling stake in Regent. All current Regent properties will join IHG's global online reservation system and loyalty program， accelerating the growth of both sales and profits. Also， IHG will have the rights to develop and manage all existing and new Regent hotels outside of Taiwan whilst FIH shall retain exclusive rights to develop and manage future developments under the Regent brand in Taiwan， including the management of the Regent Taipei Hotel.

As part of the alliance with IHG would be the re-branding of the InterContinental Hotel Hong Kong to Regent Hong Kong， an iconic Regent Hotel that established the brand as new luxury in 1980s， upon the completion of an extensive refurbishment in 2021. The return of Regent Hong Kong will create a new iconic flagship and showcase for global expansion like it once did.

Steven Pan， Executive Chairman of FIH said \"The joint venture with IHG will propel the Regent brand to worldwide reach on a well-established global platform. The alliance will enable us to streamline our growth of the Regent brand into a much more profitable business， while we can focus on the growth and consolidation of our Taiwan domestic hotel and hospitality businesses， including the Regent Taipei and the Regent brand expansion in Taiwan.\"

Keith Barr， Chief Executive Officer of IHG， commented： \"As one of the pioneers in defining luxury hotels both in Asia and around the world， Regent is an excellent addition to IHG's portfolio of brands. We see a real opportunity to unlock Regent' s enormous potential and accelerate its growth globally.\"
