Posted on Jan 02 2006
With veteran hotel executive Brian Pak manning the helm at the Aqua Resort Club, the hotel vows to meet the challenges facing the tourism and hospitality industry in 2006.
ARC general manager Pak, who joined the Saipan resort hotel sometime last October, said Aqua Resort would enhance its services and facilities this year.
“Year 2006 is a time to face tough challenges, but we are already ready with right strategies and directions to overcome. And we will have much fun doing it,” Pak said.
Aqua Resort’s management and staff greeted the New Year by expressing its gratitude to its patrons and the community for patronizing the hotel’s services in 2005.
“For the coming year, we will do whatever we can to meet and even go beyond our customers’ expectations with much improved and enhanced facilities,” Pak added.
Pak, who has had at least 13 years of experience in the hotel industry, joined Aqua Resort’s management team in October 2005.
Before joining the ARC team, Pak worked for seven years at Starwood, a company that holds more than 700 hotels worldwide, including Westin, Sheraton, and W Hotels, among others. He worked for Westin Resort Guam for four-and-a-half years and moved to Seoul to help in the establishment of a W Hotel in Korea, which became the first W Hotel in Asia.
“Joining Aqua Resort was the most exciting thing that happened to me in 2005. Honestly I had a mixed feeling at the beginning as if I was making a good decision coming to Saipan. But now I am certain, I myself am convinced to the fullest that I made a good decision,” Pak said.
“Furthermore I feel I am lucky to be here working with you all fine people. And I thank you for being here for me. The beginning of another brand new year is just about to start, and I wish you all to have a fantastic year in 2006,” said Pak in his New Year message to ARC staff.
