Carlson Hotels will this year open its first Radisson Blu hotel in Asia Pacific.
Located in the Philippines, Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu is expected to open in September 2010.
“With more than 40 per cent of Radisson’s contracted pipeline coming from Asia Pacific, this opening is a pivotal milestone in our global growth strategy,†said Hubert Joly, Carlson president, CEO and director.
Carlson Hotels plans to grow the global Radisson brand portfolio from 422 hotels at the end of 2009 to at least 600 hotels by 2015.
Located in Cebu’s premier information technology hub, the 400-room Radisson Blu Hotel Cebu is owned by SM Investments Corporation.
