US Hotel group Marriott International is concerned about tourist bookings in Paris this summer after November’s attacks on the French capital, an executive at the firm said on Tuesday, reports skift.com
Marriott, whose brands include the Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott, Autograph and Courtyard and which has 15 hotels in Paris, is working with the city’s tourist office and adapting some of its pricing in a bid to get travelers back there.
“Paris is the one that concerns us, but for the rest of Europe we don’t think there’s any reason why we shouldn’t get strong leisure travel,” Amy McPherson, Marriott Europe head, told Reuters at the IHIF hotels conference in Berlin.
McPherson said places such as Barcelona, London and Portugal were enjoying increased demand.
Earlier Marriott said it will double in size in Europe due to its takeover of Starwood, announced late last year.
Marriott has 61,000 rooms open in Europe, to which Starwood will add 40,500. The two companies’ pipeline of 21,500 planned hotel rooms means it will have more than 123,000 open or signed rooms once the deal completes in mid-2016.
