Marriott International is pledging to triple the number of hotels it operates in the Philippines within five years.
It expects to open 14 more hotels by the end of 2024, adding more than 3,700 new rooms.
It will debut in five new destinations – Caticlan, Cebu, Davao, Mactan and Palawan – adding to the three locations it is currently operating in.
New brand debuts include the wellness-focused Westin brand with the opening of The Westin Manila Sonata Place in 2021, and Element Palawan Puerto Princesa slated for 2024.
"We look forward to bringing new hotels to the Philippines together with our trusted hotel owners, enabling more choices for our travellers," said Craig S. Smith, president & managing director, Marriott International Asia Pacific.
The hotels will be a combination of new builds and conversions.
Other confirmed openings include the Marriott Resort & Spa Caticlan in 2021; and Courtyard by Marriott Courtyard by Marriott Caticlan in 2021.
