The merger between hotel giants Marriott International and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide will result in the construction of 22 new hotels in the UAE alone.
Addressing a well-attended press conference, in Dubai on Sunday at the world's tallest hotel, JW Marriott Marquis, Alex Kyriakidis, President and Managing Director, Middle East and Africa for Marriott International, said that the new properties will also create 6,000 plus new jobs in the UAE.
Kyriakidis said the new jobs will be created over the course of the next four years with a total of 30,000 being created in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region.
The $13 billion acquisition of the Starwood group on Friday means Marriott International now counts hotels such as the Sheraton, Westin, and St Regis in its portfolio.
Marriott International said the merger makes it the biggest hotel operator in the world. Kyriakidis said he is confident about the future of the company.
“Each and every employee has a bigger and brighter future now,” he said. “We are now by far and away the largest operator in the MENA area with 52,000 rooms.
“We are also leading the pack in the UAE and will have 80 properties by 2025 with over 23,000 rooms. Presently, there are 58 properties with 17,000 rooms.
Both Marriott and Starwood have their own loyalty programmes – with a combined membership worldwide of 85 million members.
However, both schemes will remain intact – but customers will be able to interchange between the two.
