Stelliers at the 2025 DONG Connection Event!

This year’s DONG Connection Event brought together a dynamic community of hospitality and travel professionals to explore new ideas and shape the future of luxury travel.

Led by May Wong – CEO of DONG Luxury Travel Collection, Co-Founder of DONG Connection Event, and a returning judge for Stelliers Greater China 2025 – the event blended cultural storytelling with creative thinking, fostering meaningful dialogue at a time when applications for this year’s awards are now officially open.

Throughout the programme, we had the opportunity to meet with regional sales and marketing leaders from top hotels across Asia – strengthening relationships and sharing more about what’s ahead for Stelliers in 2025.

From energising conversations to moments of celebration, this year’s edition stood out for its balance of innovation and intent. As we reflect on the connections and conversations sparked at the 2025 DONG Connection Event, we’re reminded of how powerful it is when passionate individuals across our industry come together to share ideas and shape the future of the travel industry.

This spirit of collaboration is exactly what we celebrate at Stelliers. If you’re ready to recognise an exceptional colleague – or be recognised yourself – for your achievements over the past 12 months, applications for Stelliers Greater China 2025 are now open.
