HONG KONG, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The America Hotel Owners Charitable Association (AHOCA), a US-based association representing wide range of hospitality related industry leaders across the United States, will host its Asia Chapter launch event, powered by CSTS Enterprises and Connexus Travel (a CSTS company), in Hong Kong on May 26th, marking its first major step toward building structured collaborations with industry leaders including hotel owners and hospitality investors in Asia.
The invitation-only event, to be held at the InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong in Tsim Sha Tsui, will bring together senior hotel owners, principals of family-backed hospitality groups, and industry leaders from United States, Hong Kong, Macau and the wider region for a closed-door dialogue on cross‑border collaboration, long‑term hotel ownership, and capital partnership opportunities.
Founded in the United States, AHOCA represents a network of top-tier industry players including hotel owners, hospitality investment and financiers, construction, real estate and other related verticals, with deep operational experience and long-term ownership perspectives. Its Asia expansion reflects growing interest among US-based industry players in establishing closer ties with the Hong Kong and regional hospitality ecosystem.
“Hong Kong remains one of the most important bridges between global capital and operating expertise,” said Abel Zhao, AHOCA Asia President and Executive Director. “This launch is not about transactions, but about building trusted relationships between owners and professionals who share a long-term view of hospitality.”
Discussion topics at the event will include:
- Hong Kong’s Success Story and Expansion into the U.S. Market, Tale of CSTS Enterprises
- Preparing Tourism and Hospitality Talents for the Experience Economy
- Evolving Brand Value in a Changing Hospitality Industry
- Hong Kong – your springboard to success in Asia & beyond
- Chinese Brands Going Global
- Real Estate Development in US
The event is expected to be attended by leaders from across Hong Kong’s hotel, property, and investment communities, with participation by invitation only to facilitate open and candid discussion.
AHOCA plans to use the Hong Kong launch as a foundation for ongoing Asia-based initiatives, including knowledge exchange, working groups, and future closed-door forums.
The event was blessed and supported by a number of industry leaders including Hon. Stephen T. Chan, New York State Senator; Hon Ron Kim, New York State Assembly Member; Hon Perry Yiu, MH, JP, Member of Legislative Council (Hong Kong); and Hon Vivian Kong Man-Wai, SBS, MH, Legislative Council Member (Hong Kong), among many others.
