About Steven Scott
International experience.Commercial impact.
Based in Asia since 2004, I have operated at senior level across a range of commercial, sales and marketing positions within the luxury property and hospitality industry. This experience has provided direct exposure to hotel ownership, development, operations, brand positioning and international market strategy across multiple regions.Today, I lead the International Hotel Awards with responsibility for regional strategy, participation and country-level representation across Asia and international markets. The programme forms part of the International Property Awards — now in its 34th year and recognised as one of the world’s longest-established and most respected awards platforms within hospitality and property.My role operates at ownership, board and senior leadership level, working with many of the world’s leading hotel brands, developers and hospitality groups to help ensure the programme remains structured, selective and commercially credible.
For more than 13 years, I have also represented International Property & Travel — a premium travel and lifestyle publication distributed to Emirates First and Business Class passengers. You will find me on the magazine’s welcome page, with each edition reaching a new international premium audience of more than one million travellers.Alongside my core responsibilities, I work with a select number of partners where experience, commercial perspective and trusted introductions can add value. Where appropriate, I advise on positioning, partnerships and next steps — selectively, confidentially and without obligation.
