Kapil Singhal, Managing Director of the newly formed Swiss International Hotels & Resorts (India) said, "India's hotel market is going through a rapid expansion particularly in the mid & upscale market with special emphasis on vacation destinations. The growing middle class is traveling on business and with their families for leisure purposes. An international brand is appealing for these customers. Swiss International as always assures quality. The franchise - and management formula of Swiss International is complete, and it gears very much on the e-commerce model and capitalizes around the reputation management systems. We can benefit tremendously from their extensive experience and know-how.

"Henri W.R. Kennedie, CEO & Managing Director of Swiss International Hotels & Resorts added, "Swiss International is very actively present in the growth of the hotel markets of the world, such as China, Middle East (GCC countries) and Africa. India is logically, the next site. In Innovest Group, we have found the right partner to develop Swiss International in India. Combined with our international standards, we create a management company that will be able to strongly develop in the area in the next couple of years."
