VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and NEW DELHI, INDIA - (CCNMatthews - April 12, 2007) - The Royal Indian Raj International Corporation (RIRIC) today announced that it has entered into a contract with Choice Hotels India to build at least 12,000 budget-style hotel rooms under the Comfort Inn, Quality, Sleep Inn and Clarion Brands. "This transaction increases RIRIC's current proposed foreign direct investment in the real estate sector under the Integrated Township program and in the Hospitality and Resort sector to over $6B USD" including its Royal Garden Villas & Resorts projects in Bangalore & Hyderabad. RIRIC's hotel initiatives are set to commence over the next 12 months throughout India.
Hotel vacancies in India are rare -- and costly
"India is reaching a new level of demand for hotel rooms. As the economy continues to grow, travelers are paying for pricey hotel rooms -- that's if they're able to find a vacancy. In all of India, there are only about 110,000 hotel rooms, not much more than the number of hotel rooms in New York City," according to the International Herald Tribune.
"Our association with a world leading hotel chain the caliber of Choice Hotels represents an ongoing commitment to excellence for Royal Indian Raj International Corporation. There is a huge demand in the Hotel & Hospitality sector in the Indian Nation primarily in the under represented 3, 4 and 5 star categories. This strategic partnership was forged to address these issues and to establish RIRIC's presence in the hotel and hospitality sector in India. The hotel developments under these Choice brands will be focused on providing quality accommodations and falls within RIRIC's corporate mandate of being "Leaders in Building a New India." - Manoj C. Benjamin, Chairman and CEO, Royal Indian Raj International Corporation.
"We are very proud of our association with the Royal Indian Raj International Corporation (RIRIC). In association with RIRIC, Choice Hotels India will develop, brand and manage and additional 15,000 rooms in the country, in all the key destinations across the brands of Comfort, Quality, Clarion and Sleep Inn. Choice Hotels has one of the largest hotel franchising networks in the country and worldwide with presence of over 5000 hotels across the globe. With this significant partnership, we envisage an exponential increase in our existing room base. This would further add to presence of our hotel brands across the country within India. This would also meet the much needed additional room requirement in the country, especially in the mid market segment.
This will define a new era for the burgeoning hotel industry in India.
With our joint expertise in real estate and hospitality business, this relationship would offer the best hotel value for the growing inbound, outbound and domestic travel sectors across the country. We are very excited about this relationship and look forward to mutually beneficial association." - Vilas Pawar, Chief Executive Officer, Choice Hospitality India.
