“We are delighted that Songtsam is once again partnering with Asia Week New York,” says chairman Dessa Goddard.
“Their appreciation for the many facets of Asian art and culture underscores our synergy.”
“We are grateful for their enthusiastic support.”
“We are very proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of Asia Week for a third year,” said Florence Li, Songtsam’s Director of International Sales & Marketing. “Baima Duoji, the Founder and Chairman of Songtsam Group, has always had a long-standing interest in Chinese, Himalayan, and Southeast Asian art. Baima started collecting art long before he established his first hotel, Songtsam Lodge Shangri-La, which is located next to the famous Songzanlin Monastery in Shangri-La. Many of the properties across the Tibetan plateau are decorated with Baima’s private collection, with each hotel acting as a living art museum. Songtsam aims to share the beauty of humanity’s imagination and creativity with people from all over the world.”
