Director of Craft House, Yvette Jong, held her 2nd women empowerment workshop for female students at EGBOK Mission in Cambodia. "It's an honor to be surrounded by beautiful women with the desire and passion to excel in the hospitality industry, and work with an organization like EGBOK that facilitates this." 

From design meetings and friends to guerrilla marketing, Yvette Jong's day has a little bit of everything. We catch up with TEDxVictoriaHarbour organiser and Craft House founder Yvette Jong to see how she combines work, play, TEDx and everything in between.

Yvette is not just your “cool, calm and collected” New Yorker in Hong Kong, but so much more. There is a never a dull moment with her - her passions are so varied that she has a wall full of ideas and to-do lists that are miles long.

In 2012 Yvette moderated a round table session on Hotel Branding in China. Panel: Bernold Schroeder, Jin Jiang Hotels; Peter Mack, Landor Associates; Simon Tye, Ipsos; Colin Lin, Marriott International; Nick Barton, IHG

From cofounding a nonprofit organization focused on community based tourism to becoming an executive manager in hotels and development consultant in Hong Kong, I sought this interview with Yvette Jong after  I discovered her work titled “Towards the business case for sustainable hotels in Asia."
