Hyatt- An Opportunity for Bangladesh

Bangladesh has become a land of opportunity for almost all kinds of industry, depending on its developing economy and increasing quality of living. One of the industries could be Hotel industry. Already we have high class, top rated, international branded hotels like- Pan Pacific, Radisson, Westin. One of the big chains of international Hotel is 'Hyatt'. And I believe this hotel chain has an opportunity in Bangladesh as well. 

Before that, let's see what Hyatt is. 

Hyatt hotel

Hyatt Hotels Corporation is an American international company and operator of hotel. The Hyatt Corporation came into being upon purchase of the Hyatt House, at Los Angeles international airport, on September 27, 1957. The company has always targeted high upper class people, with exclusive service around the world. 70% of the hotels are solely owned by the parent company. Some of the hotels are franchised also. Two of the main hotel type is Grand Hyatt and Park Hyatt. Grand Hyatt is mostly for business executives on the job travelling.

On the other hand Park Hyatt brings upper class luxury leisure opportunity. The Park Hyatt is the chain's boutique hotel line, focusing on upscale trendy touches. The 25 Park Hyatt around the globe promises luxury, privacy and striking architectural features. Park Hyatt typically has highly rated gourmet restaurants. Park Hyatt's demographic is upper-class professionals with disposable income who are looking for an exclusive property. Park Hyatt has large rooms with luxury imported linens, pillow top mattresses and name-brand boutique toiletries. Some Park Hyatt room levels have access to 24-hour concierge services.

I think if the Hyatt Corporation wants they can bring into Park Hyatt into Bangladesh. Most of the Park Hyatt is situated near beautiful landscape or natural spectacular resources. Bangladesh has an extraordinary ocean and green beauty, with a high profitable tourism future. Cox’s bazaar, Saint Martin, Chittagong these are all options with scenic beauty. If these places are nurtured with proper management and architectural fineness, they can bring huge amount of money to the country.

Also even in this condition of our economy, I believe it’s not hard to maintain either. Because there are noticeable number of Hyatt hotel in our neighboring countries. India, Nepal, Maldives have Hyatt hotels. In India and Maldives they have Park Hyatt, located near ocean or sea. Even the hotels have become tourist spot. All these hotels have luxury rooms, spas, kids’ facility and everything. If they can pull it off, then we can too.

But to go for this step, we need to shape up a little bit. Hyatt looks for stable country condition to set up a business. Recently Hyatt has expanded to Bangkok, Phuket, Bangalore, Noida, New Delhi – all of these are within our region. If Hyatt is interested there, then we can also attract them to come to Bangladesh. All we need is diligence and Govt. cooperation. With this we can also bring one of the biggest Hotel chain in our country. This can be one crucial step ahead to the tourism and hospitality industry.

Recently Westin is providing some exclusive service for children. The features are designed such a way that, anyone would feel free to bring their children on a business tour or personal tour and still enjoy themselves on the fullest.

Disney World

There is a Westin outlet on Disney property, called ‘Swan’. There one get many extra benefits including “extra magic hours” so customers can go to alternating parks before or after the normal operating hours on certain days of the week. The hotel is an easy walking distance from Epcot, and a short boat ride from Hollywood Studios.  There are frequent bus services to the other Disney parks. Even the customers can use the SPG points to get more advantages there.

(SPG point- point given to frequent customers)

The whole kids feature thing is new in WESTIN. One of the reason they introduced it could be customer retention and achievement. People would definitely prefer this hotel while traveling with kids. Also mostly wealthy families are the customer of Westin regardless the nationality. So if the kids of these wealthy families are coming and enjoying in the hotel, there is a probability that they will continue to come here when they grow up. Some of the facilities are designed in such a way that it will create a long term positive impression in both kids and their parents’ minds.
