洲際酒店及度假村已宣布計劃擴大其在歐洲的業務。該酒店集團已將與酒店運營商Tristar GmbH的協議擴展至DACH地區（德國、奧地利和瑞士），同時還將其增長擴展到義大利和波蘭。該協議的目標是到2035年在德國、奧地利、瑞士、義大利和波蘭共簽約60家酒店。
IHG Hotels and Resorts has announced plans to expand its presence across Europe.
The hotel group has extended its agreement with hotel operator Tristar GmbH for the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), while also expanding its growth to Italy and Poland.
The agreement aims for a total of 60 hotel signings by 2035 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and Poland.
The group says that the DACH region “continues to be a key strategic market”, with 88 hotels currently open in Germany and 27 in the pipeline. There are currently 17 hotels under operation in Austria and Switzerland, and six properties in the pipeline.
Willemijn Geels, VP Development Europe at IHG Hotels and Resorts, said:
“We are delighted to announce this long-term partnership with our trusted partner tristar GmbH and bring such a strong collection of hotels to the DACH region. The recent return of travel has been strong in Northern Europe, and we look forward to providing new destinations for guests to discover, bringing our much-loved brands to new locations, and providing the essentials for business travel with these strategic signings. The new signings simply enhance our shared vision for IHG’s successful growth momentum.’
Jochen Weishaupt, chief development officer, Tristar GmbH added:
‘These new openings and signings are testament to the strong relationship between tristar GmbH and IHG. By bringing recognised, much-loved brands to new locations, we can continue to provide hotels which travellers trust, and return to, time after time.
“Our target of 60 signings by 2035 is ambitious, but we are inspired by the challenge, and supported in our goals by industry powerhouse IHG Hotels & Resorts.”
