Indian conglomerate, Tata Group, is planning to expand its
budget chain of Ginger hotels from the current 20 to
approximately 70 hotels by 2014. This plan translates to the
addition of approximately 5,000 rooms, given the average of
100 rooms per hotel for the Ginger chain. Presently, the
development for Ginger hotels is already underway in cities
such as Chennai, Surat, Indore, Tirupur, Manesar and Lucknow.
The group has identified the mid-tier hotel segment in India
as a growth market with immense potential as there is
currently lesser focus on this segment by developers. |
