Kurt Strohmayer, general manager of JW Marriott hotel, considers that the decision of companies to reduce expenditures for travels and thus, of accommodation, is one of the effects of the global financial crisis. Premium and luxury hotel rooms are the most affected.
Strohmayer stated that for the next year, Marriott envisages a similar occupancy rate maintaining the price policy similar to the present one.
The occupancy rate of the unit during weekdays is over 80%, while weekends register a decreasing rate up to 40-50%.
More, the Marriott’s representative stated that the financial crisis would not influence the expanding plans of the hotel chain in Romania. Cluj or Timisoara cities are two of the envisaged localities.
