Marriott reveals global expansion plans at ILTM Cannes

DUBAI, December 8, 2016

Hospitality giant Marriott International is looking to further expand its global luxury hotels portfolio, with plans to open 30 new properties in 2017.

Providing the latest updates of its high-end brands at the International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) in Cannes, Marriott revealed that its portfolio has doubled following its merger with Starwood Hotels & Resorts, and that the group was looking to widen its global footprint with a number of new hotels around the world.

New properties scheduled to launch next year will include Ritz-Carltons in Langkawi and Astana, St Regis hotels in Shanghai and Cairo, W Hotels in Panama City and Tel Aviv, Southeast Asia’s first Edition hotel in Bangkok, a Luxury Collection property in California’s Napa Valley, and JW Marriott resorts on the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc and in Vancouver, Canada.

“Spanning the world from the most iconic hot spots to the ultimate undiscovered gems, the unmatched breadth and depth of our luxury portfolio uniquely positions us to cater to the increased demand of the rapidly-expanding cadre of affluent travelers,” said Tina Edmundson, Global Brand Officer, Marriott International. “With luxury travel up nearly 50 per cent over the past five years, we see a long runway for growth at the high-end and have a world-class, dedicated luxury structure in place to nurture and strengthen this coveted portfolio of eight diverse luxury brands.” - TradeArabia News Service
