Accor announces 3 hotels in Myanmar
Accor announced on Tuesday that it will open three hotels in Myanmar, all new-build developments.
The hotels include an MGallery hotel in Naypyidaw, Novotel Yangon Max, and Novotel Mandalay Mingalar.
"We are excited to announce the signing of three new hotels in Myanmar — the first of which will open this year — marking Accor's return to Myanmar," said Michael Issenberg, chairman and chief operating Officer for Accor Asia-Pacific. "Southeast Asia has long been a focus market for Accor, and as the country's tourism industry develops, we see significant growth potential for international hotel operators with long-term experience in the region. These three developments represent yet another step towards our goal of operating 700 hotels in Asia Pacific by 2015."
