Hilton Looking To Open 100 Hotels In India In Seven To Ten Years Return to Headlines
Hilton Worldwide (Hilton) is reportedly planning to open approximately 100 hotels within the next seven to ten years in India. The hotels, which are expected to comprise a variety of ten brands under Hilton, are envisaged to be mainly managed properties while franchised properties will not be standalone. Currently, Hilton has one hotel operating in India and a further three to five properties are expected to be opened by end of 2010.
 
Indonesia Withdraws Seven-Day Visa-On-Arrival Return to Headlines
The Indonesian authorities have withdrawn the seven-day visa-on-arrival (VOA), which costs US$10, in late January and moved to allow greater flexibility for the one-time extension of the 30-day VOA. Local operators and hoteliers have commented that the moves are expected to adversely affect the short-haul regional markets, which have to fork out US$25 for the 30-day VOA. Popular short-haul destinations such as Batam and Bintan are forecast to be the hardest hit markets as the average length of stay for visitors is typically less than three days.
