Radisson Hotel Group, whose India portfolio includes over 200 hotels, is seeking to expand its footprint in eastern part of the country, with a top company official saying the hospitality giant's focus is on "balancing" location of properties in both key and tier 2 cities.
In an interview to PTI here, chairman of the group's South Asia operations, K B Kachru, also pitched for preserving and "restoring historic buildings" to redevelop them as heritage properties rather than demolishing such structures and replacing them with "big boxes".
"One of the reasons for our growth has been that we are focussed on key locations pan-India... In fact, we are doing equally well in tier 2 and tier 3 (cities) as in tier 1. So, that's very gratifying," Kachru told PTI.
