Chonburi: Amata Corporation, in collaboration with a Japanese company, has inaugurated a new hotel to support investors in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). This strategic move is part of Amata Corporation Public Company Limited's (AMATA) broader initiative to transform its industrial estates into "Industrial City" locations, facilitating a robust production and investment hub in the EEC.
According to Thai News Agency, AMATA has been upgrading its facilities to provide comprehensive support for business activities within the EEC. The recent opening of Nikko Amata City Chonburi, a premium Japanese-style hotel, is a testament to this commitment. The hotel is designed to aid business negotiations and facilitate deals, thereby playing a crucial role in the region's economic development.
Mr. Eiichi Tanabe, Chief Business Development Officer of Amata Corporation, emphasized that the hotel, which is a 51% joint venture with a Japanese investment group, is part of a broader vision to create an "ecosystem" conducive to balanced growth in business, community, and environmental sectors. The objective is to establish a complete industrial city to accommodate the expanding investment landscape, providing comprehensive facilities, utilities, and services.
The "Industrial City" development concept by Amata signifies a shift from traditional industrial parks to cities that support advanced manufacturing, residential living, and sustainability. This transformation is particularly critical for emerging industries like large-scale data centers and AI-driven supply chains, which demand resilient infrastructures.
Currently, Amata hosts over 650 Japanese factories in Thailand and Vietnam, showcasing the sustained confidence of Japanese investors. Hotel Nikko Amata City Chonburi is integral to this infrastructure, serving business travelers, engineers, and tourists alike. Managed by Okura Nikko Hotel Management, the hotel offers 210 rooms equipped with Japanese-standard amenities, including an onsen, catering to both short and long-term stays.
