CEO Insights Team
Hyatt’s awards for the ‘Best Hotel Group- International’ and ‘Best Hotel Loyalty Programme’ were received by Mr. Kurt Straub, Vice President, Operations and Ms. Archana Dutta, Director of Loyalty Marketing, Hyatt India Consultancy Private Limited, respectively.
Commenting on the achievement, Kurt Straub, Vice President, Operations (India), Hyatt Hotels and Resorts India said, “We are proud of the fact that Hyatt has a long and rich heritage in India. We have added 26 new hotels to our portfolio, since we opened Hyatt Regency Delhi in 1983, as India has become an increasingly important region for us. As we continue with strategic and mindful growth to increase our footprint and brand representation in the country, we sincerely appreciate the recognition and encouragement that this award has given to our teams in India.”
“It is especially meaningful as the vote of confidence comes from Travel + Leisure’s well-travelled readers across the country. It has been our endeavor to be the
most preferred hospitality brand in the country, and therefore, it is a great honour to receive this recognition for our recently re-launched World of Hyatt loyalty programme by one of the most widely-read travel magazine brands in the world. We are also delighted that the magazine’s readers have voted Hyatt as the Best International Hotel Chain in India.”
