Last year, it signed 24 new hotels in South Asia, 17 of which were in India. The company expects to have 70 more hotels in India by 2027. It will also launch its luxury brand Marriott Marquis in New Delhi.
The new additions, primarily in the luxury and premium space, are growing significantly, Govil said. Several newly signed projects are under construction in tier II markets, he said.
“We do expect to see considerable traction across all segments in India. Our South Asia region is anchored around India and it is the second biggest market for us in the Asia Pacific (after China). So it is a big, big market for us. These hotels should come to fruition in the next three to five years,” Govil said.
