Forte Hotels has recently become a member of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), marking a significant step in its commitment to sustainability. Established in 2004, Forte is a privately owned entity that manages a diverse portfolio of hotel properties under four brands: Forte Hotels, Yamagata Kaku, and Orange Hotels. These range from upscale four-star accommodations to more economical one-star options, with seven locations spread strategically across Taiwan including Taipei, Jiaoxi, Changhua, and Chiayi.

As a multi-faceted organization, Forte Hotel Group also ventures beyond hotel management to include department stores, shopping malls, serviced apartments, and other leisure and tourism services. This varied presence underlines its reputation as a significant player in Taiwan’s hospitality sector, catering to a broad demographic from business travelers to vacationing families, ensuring a varied and enriching experience for every guest.

At the core of Forte Hotel Group’s ethos are the values of being “Smarter,” “Healthier,” and “More Creative.” These principles influence every aspect of their operations, from providing agile and tailored services that meet the specific needs of each guest (“Smarter”), to fostering environmental sustainability and the well-being of both guests and staff (“Healthier”), and continually pushing the boundaries of innovation to create memorable and leading-edge hospitality experiences (“More Creative”). These commitments showcase Forte’s dedication to excellence and innovation in the hospitality industry.

“Forte Hotels have long heard of GSTC and the commitments to sustainability amongst members. Joining GSTC represents a new step of our group toward a sustainable future. We are excited to learn from like-minded companies! At the same time, as the chairman of Forte Hotels and also the chair of PATA Chinese Taipei Chapter, I hope with GSTC together, we can help Taiwan’s tourism community to create more sustainable values in the region,” says Ben Liao, Chairman of Forte Hotel Group.
