DUSIT International is set to mark its foray into India through Dusit Bird Hotels (DBH), a joint venture with India’s Bird Hospitality Services.
DBH will launch Dusit Devarana New Delhi by year-end. DusitD2 New Delhi, the first dusitD2 hotel outside of Thailand, is also in the works.
Sunil Mathur, regional VP, Dusit Bird Hotels, said: “We are looking to expand in a very big way and introduce all the brands under Dusit International in the Indian hospitality market, which is filled with Western brands.”
“It is high time that we had a leading Asian hospitality brand in India.”
Besides New Delhi, DBH is planning to open a Dusit Deverana each in Jaipur and Rishikesh, and a Dusit Thani in Goa, within the next three years.
Apart from the owner-operator model, Mathur said DBH was also considering management deals, as many local hotel developers had shown an interest in working with the group.
