“The region continues to demonstrate high growth potential and is among the top global growth markets for Hyatt,” said Javier Águila, president of the Hyatt EAME group. “More than half of our current portfolio has a clear focus on leisure, whether through brand affiliation or through destination. This ratio represents our strong commitment to expanding our luxury leisure presence complementing our existing portfolio in capital cities and sought-after business centres.
“The Hyatt Inclusive Collection represents the largest luxury all-inclusive portfolio in the world and allows us to capture leisure growth opportunities in new destinations for Hyatt along the Mediterranean coast, the Black Sea and even in the Middle East” added Águila. “We anticipate that the planned integration of London-based luxury hotel booking platform Mr & Mrs Smith will accelerate our asset-light expansion into the regional leisure space with its selection of luxury properties in countries where there are currently no Hyatt hotels.
