Stronger Together: Our Alliances & Partners

 Founded: 2014

Headquarters: Rome, Italy

Octorate is a global hospitality technology company delivering an all-in-one platform for hotels, serviced apartments, and short-term rental operators. Founded in Rome in 2014, Octorate has grown into a trusted technology partner for 10,000+ properties across more than 80 countries, supporting professional operators with scalable, data-driven solutions.

The Octorate platform combines Property Management System (PMS), Channel Manager, Booking Engine, AI-powered website tools, and integrated payments into a single ecosystem — designed to simplify operations, strengthen direct bookings, and improve distribution efficiency across complex markets.

What sets Octorate apart is not just its global reach, but its relationship-first approach. Under the leadership of founder and CEO Fabrizio Scuppa, Octorate has consistently focused on listening to operators, adapting to local operating conditions, and building long-term partnerships rather than transactional relationships.

This philosophy aligns strongly with STRA’s Asia First, Delegate First mission. Octorate leaned into Asia early, recognising the region not as a secondary market, but as a diverse and fast-maturing STR ecosystem that requires local understanding, regulatory awareness, and professional collaboration.

As a STRA Registered Marketplace Partner (Tier 3), Octorate plays a critical role in the wider STR ecosystem — enabling operators through technology while respecting the distinction between platform facilitation and on-the-ground property management. Their participation strengthens the bridge between global best practice and Asia’s professional STR community.

At STRA’s Gather · Connect · Grow summit in Bangkok, Octorate brings global scale, proven infrastructure, and a deep commitment to supporting property managers across Asia as the sector continues to professionalise and grow.

Naree Suneta is a hospitality executive and industry leader with extensive experience across Thailand’s accommodation sector. She is the Chief Executive Officer of NAREE Hospitality, one of Thailand’s leading white-label and third-party hospitality operators, and serves as President of the Hostel and Small Accommodation Association (Thailand).

As CEO of NAREE Hospitality, Naree leads a platform specialising in the professional operation of diverse hospitality assets. The company is recognised for delivering top-notch quality while maintaining cost-efficient operations, supporting property owners across multiple accommodation formats. Its focus spans operational excellence, service consistency, cleanliness, safety, and guest experience — allowing owners to strengthen performance while retaining their own brand identity.

Alongside her commercial role, Naree plays a pivotal leadership role at an industry level. As President of the Hostel and Small Accommodation Association (Thailand), she represents a broad community of small-scale accommodation operators, including hostels, small hotels, guesthouses, and alternative accommodation models operating across the country.

Under her leadership, the Association’s mission is clear:  to establish and elevate standards for small-scale stays across Thailand, strengthening the entire industry.

This includes guiding operators toward growth and global standards, while ensuring Thailand continues to attract travellers seeking clean, safe, and warmly hosted accommodation with attentive service.

Naree is a strong advocate for balanced, practical regulation and greater industry collaboration. She recognises that small accommodation and short-term rentals often operate under the same regulatory framework in Thailand, and believes this sector must have a clear voice in policy and industry dialogue — reflecting its economic contribution and role in local communities.

At Gather · Connect · Grow by Short-Term Rentals Asia (STRA), Naree brings Thailand’s operational and association perspective into a regional conversation focused on standards, trust, and the future of accommodation across Asia.

The Hostel and Small Accommodation Association (Thailand) represents a vital and fast-evolving segment of Thailand’s accommodation industry, bringing together hostels, small hotels, guesthouses, and other small-scale stays operating across the country’s key tourism destinations.

Originally established to support the hostel sector, the Association has expanded its mandate in response to how accommodation models have evolved in practice. Today, many small hotels, hostels, and professionally managed short-term rentals operate under the same small hotel regulatory framework in Thailand. This shared reality has made collaboration, representation, and practical standards more important than ever.

The Association’s mission is clear:
to establish and elevate standards for small-scale accommodation across Thailand, strengthening the entire industry.

This includes supporting operators with:

• Cleanliness, safety, and service standards 
• Practical understanding of regulation and compliance 
• Knowledge sharing and professional development 
• Constructive engagement with industry stakeholders and policymakers
   

Under the leadership of President Naree Suneta, the Association plays an increasingly important role in bridging the gap between traditional hospitality, emerging accommodation models, and short-term rental operations that are professionally managed at scale.

For short-term rental property managers operating in Thailand, this perspective is particularly relevant. STRs are not operating outside the system — they are operating within the same regulatory and operational environment as small hotels. The Association recognises that professional STR operators contribute meaningfully to local communities, employment, and tourism performance, and that their voices must be included in conversations about standards, trust, and future policy.

Participation in Gather · Connect · Grow by Short-Term Rentals Asia (STRA) reflects the Association’s commitment to regional dialogue. It offers an opportunity to hear Thailand’s experience directly  from a respected association leader  and to understand how small accommodation and STR operations can move forward together, professionally and sustainably.

This is not a theoretical discussion. It is an on-the-ground perspective from operators working daily within Thailand’s regulatory framework  and shaping what comes next.

Guided by a vision rooted in accessibility, technology, and authentic Thai warmth, Manmeet has led Arawana Group’s evolution into a multi-brand portfolio of 11 properties across Bangkok and Pattaya, with further developments underway.

Under his leadership, the group has developed distinct sub-brands designed to serve diverse traveler segments—from urban explorers and business travelers to long-stay guests seeking practical luxury in prime locations.

Manmeet is widely recognized for his hands-on leadership style and disciplined approach to growth. He has been an early advocate for the strategic adoption of hospitality technology, championing the use of cloud-based property management systems, revenue management platforms, and digital guest experience tools. This technology-led framework enhances efficiency, transparency, and performance, while enabling on-property teams to focus on what matters most: meaningful human connection and consistent guest satisfaction.

Beyond operational performance, Manmeet places strong emphasis on brand identity and culture. Inspired by the arowana fish—a symbol of prosperity, harmony, and resilience in Asian culture, Arawana Group reflects values of long-term partnership, trust, and positive momentum. 

His leadership philosophy centers on empowering teams, aligning owner interests, and delivering dependable experiences at every touchpoint.

An active voice in Thailand’s hospitality community, Manmeet regularly contributes as a speaker and panelist at industry forums, sharing practical insights on independent hotel branding, technology adoption, and sustainable expansion. 

With a balanced perspective shaped by both strategy and operations, he continues to position Arawana Group as a modern local brand with regional ambition within Southeast Asia’s evolving hospitality landscape.

From seamless digital booking and check-in to clean, contemporary rooms and warm service, the brand removes friction from travel—serving business guests, families, urban explorers, and long-stay travelers with equal care.

Arawana believes comfort, accessibility, and affordability should coexist. Its mission is to create spaces that feel genuinely connected—to the neighborhood, to technology, and to the people who stay there. Whether visiting for work or leisure, guests experience Arawana as a welcoming base where everyone belongs.

Chavdar Marinov is the founder of Hostify, a hospitality technology platform built to power the next generation of short-term rental and property management businesses globally. What began as a solution to real, day-to-day operational challenges faced by property managers has evolved into a full-scale property management system focused on automation, reliability, and long-term growth.

Product-oriented and technology-inspired, Chavdar brings hands-on experience in scaling technology companies, building and leading global teams, and navigating the fast-changing hospitality ecosystem. His work sits at the intersection of hospitality, Artificial Intelligence, and automation, guided by a clear vision: replacing fragmented, manual operations with intelligent, data-driven systems that help operators scale efficiently while maintaining control and consistency.

A startup enthusiast and active investor, Chavdar is particularly interested in how AI is reshaping product design, decision-making, and operational efficiency across the hospitality and property management space. Before founding Hostify, he built and led a software development company delivering large-scale, complex technology systems, working on high-impact projects under demanding technical and business constraints.

This hands-on background shaped his pragmatic, out-of-the-box approach to problem-solving and reinforced his belief that strong technical architecture, thoughtful product design, and real-world usability are the foundations of sustainable success in both technology and hospitality.

 Hostify is an all-in-one Property Management System and Channel Manager designed for professional hosts and vacation rental operators who want to scale sustainably in an increasingly competitive and regulated market.

As property management businesses grow, complexity grows with them. More properties bring more channels, more guests, and more operational pressure. Hostify was built to simplify this reality by centralizing all core operations into one powerful, easy-to-use platform. The result is greater efficiency, reduced risk, and the ability to grow without losing control.

At the core of Hostify is a robust channel manager with real-time connectivity to leading booking platforms including Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google, and more. Availability, pricing, and listing content stay fully synchronized across channels, helping operators avoid overbookings, reduce errors, and maximize visibility and revenue.

Automation plays a key role across the platform. Guest communications, task management, workflows, and reporting are streamlined to remove manual processes that slow teams down. With full visibility over reservations and operations from anywhere, property managers can focus less on day-to-day firefighting and more on performance and growth. All supported by reliable technology and premium support.

Hostify supports a wide range of business models, from individual units and multi-property portfolios to full building management and hybrid strategies that combine short- and mid-term stays. This flexibility allows operators to adapt quickly to changing demand, regulations, and guest expectations without adding complexity or switching systems.

Beyond daily operations, Hostify enables a more strategic way of working. Centralized data and reporting provide clear insights into occupancy, revenue, and operational performance, empowering smarter decisions and long-term resilience.
