We have to stay focused on the long-term plan and manage short-term challenges," said Douglas Martell, Onyx Hospitality Group's president and chief executive. He said the group has learned lessons from managing four hotels in Sri Lanka and eight hotels in Hong Kong. Sri Lanka has faced a series of bomb blasts and horrific death tolls in recent years, the worst violence since the civil war ended a decade ago. He said Onyx has seen solid growth after crises in this market, thanks to the uniqueness and beauty of Sri Lanka, which has seen investment confidence recover quickly. The group has 52 properties in seven countries: Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Bangladesh and China.
