Radisson boss sees hotel market rebound
Ali Yilmaz Yildirimlar, general manager of Radisson Blu hotel complex of Calea Victoriei, which operates 718 rooms, maintains operating income had a two-digit advance in the first four months of this year, as almost 70% of rooms were occupied on average.
"The number of people traveling and arriving in Bucharest is higher than last year and this can be seen not only in our business, but also in the airlines' business. Should the trend maintain, we can be confident," stated Ali Yilmaz Yildirimlar.
In Romania, the two complexes of 718 rooms are registered as belonging to Bucureşti Turism company, in which BEA Hotels Eastern Europe holds 76.83% and SIF Transilvania (SIF3) 11.29%.
"After two years and a half we can speak about a hotel market rebound. As far as the corporate business is concerned, companies have started investing more in employees and are organizing training programs, while in terms of private events demand for weddings and christening parties is still high."
