IHG announces UK expansion plans
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced its plans to open 36 new properties across the UK during the next three-to-four years.
The hospitality operator - owner of the Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and InterContinental Hotels and Resorts brands - said that it would create 3,500 jobs and help boost the economy. IHG chief executive Andy Cosslett said: "Hotels provide a quick and flexible way to get people back into work and provide a much-needed stimulus to the economy.
"We're playing our part with 3,500 additional opportunities in the next three years, but a commitment from the government to support and promote the tourism industry would mean we could create even more jobs." IHG currently operates more than 4,400 hotels in 100 countries around the world and has a total of 1,400 properties in its global development pipeline.
