Radisson Hotel Group added eight new hotels across four brands in 2020, thus strengthening its domestic portfolio to overcome a tumultuous year.
Located in key gateway cities and emerging destinations, these new hotels will collectively add over 1000 keys to its domestic network in the next three to five years.
The Group also added a new brand ‘Radisson Individuals’ to its portfolio, which gives independent hotels and small chains the opportunity to become part of the global Radisson Hotel Group and benefit from international exposure.
In the beginning of 2020, the Group had announced four hotel signings – Radisson Blu Hotel Jaipur Malviya Nagar, Radisson Hotel Dehradun, Park Inn by Radisson Jabalpur and Park Inn by Radisson Mashobra.
These were followed by four additional signings at the end of the year – Radisson Resort Pondicherry Bay, Radisson Resort & Spa Lonavala, The White Hotel Katra, a member of Radisson Individuals and Park Inn by Radisson Prayagraj.
“We remained focused on our long-term expansion goals while leveraging opportunities such as the introduction of Radisson Individuals to tide over the challenges of 2020. In the new year, we are looking forward to several strategic and brand-defining hotel signings and openings which will provide a major uplift to our brand portfolio,” commented Zubin Saxena, Managing Director and Vice President, Operations, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.
Domestic tourism is predicted to be the major demand driver in the leisure market between 2020-2024 with approximately 25 million outbound travelers looking for compelling travel experiences within the country*. Radisson Hotel Group is geared up to meet this demand with its country wide network.
