It's great to read that Marriott International is still planning to open seven hotels in India this year. These new openings will offer employment opportunities in the hospitality sector across the country.
Marriot share our views on the Indian market, and state, “Despite the global economic slowdown and pockets of political unrest, India’s tourism sector continues to demonstrate encouraging resilience with total room-night sales increasing by over 500 percent over the past five years"
"The country’s rapidly-expanding middle class and buying power, growing industrial infrastructure, rich cultural heritage, and natural attractions are all combining to make India a strong inbound and outbound tourism market in which we are delighted to be a part.”
Marriot anticipate that they will require approximately 2,000 individuals across all operational and marketing disciplines to staff these seven hotels in the coming months, so that's great news for the Indian hospitality industry.
Marriott’s new hotels will represent three of the company’s six international brands:
luxury/The 320-room JW Marriott Hotel Bangalore
deluxe/ The 426-room Pune Marriott Hotel & Convention Center
moderate/Five new Courtyard by Marriott hotels:
- 199-room Courtyard by Marriott Gurgaon
- 153-room Courtyard by Marriott West Pune
- 193-room Courtyard by Marriott Hyderabad
- 164-room Courtyard by Marriott Ahmedabad
- 299-room Courtyard by Marriott Mumbai International Airport
When opened, these hotels will more than double the Marriott International hotel brands portfolio in India, which today consists of six operating properties. Another 14 previously-announced hotels are expected to open in India through 2012 as part of Marriott International’s global pipeline of hotels under construction, awaiting conversion, or approved for development.
