Accor has reaffirmed its commitment to the Thai tourism industry by announcing significant expansion plans today. Adding to the current Thailand network of 39 hotels, Accor will add seven properties in Thailand under the Novotel, Mercure, all seasons and ibis brands.
Two of the hotels will be located in Bangkok, with an additional two each in Koh Samui, Phuket, and one in Krabi.
“Whilst the tourism sector in Thailand continues to be affected from the recent political unrest, Accor remains positive about the long term future of the industry” said Oswald Pichler, Vice President Operations for Accor in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.
The new properties are as follows: in Bangkok, the 200-room ibis Nana (scheduled to open in 2009), and the 283-room Novotel Bangkok Platinum. In Koh Samui, the 85-room and villa Mercure Samui Buri (pictured, 2009), and the 153-roon all seasons Samui Chaweng (2009). In Phuket, the 185-room Novotel Phuket Kamala Bay (2011) and 206-room ibis Kata Phuket, and finally the 206-room ibis Krabi.
Accor is already the largest hotel operator in Thailand, having added six hotels in 2008, including the first member of its new MGallery collection - Vie Hotel Bangkok.
