Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group is planning to open 16 new hotels across India by the end of 2017, the Business Standard reports.
Speaking to the company’s president for Asia Pacific, Thorsten Kirschke, the newspaper revealed that upcoming hotels will be located in destinations such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Srinagar, Coimbatore, Pune, Kota, Delhi, Chandigarh and Jammu.
“We expect to open 16 hotels at a minimum by end of 2017 as part of our expansion plans in India. Going forward the company will see increased development pace in India for the Park Inn by Radisson and Country Inn and Suites brands. The company will also be launching its Radisson Red hotel next year in Mohali,” Kirschke was quoted saying.
Though the company is also targeting state capitals, the focus of its expansion will be on India’s fast-growing second and third tier cities, he added. Currently, Carlson Rezidor has 76 hotels in the country.
“India is primarily a domestic travel market, increase in household income and emerging middle class will naturally lead to increase in domestic travel and rise in demand for affordable accommodation as entire economy of India is becoming stronger,” Kirschke added.
