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.
Park Hyatt Maldives- water villa
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.
Sain Martin- Bangladesh
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.

  2. I loved the fluency of your writing, Tropa! Got to know a lot of information about this hotel group, keep up the good work!

    "All we need is diligence and Govt. cooperation." -- a statement I'm not attached to that much, and I felt that this statement somehow disconnected the reader from the cause. It appeared to me that we as citizens and enthusiastic entrepreneurs are powerless in bringing the Hyatt chain to Bangladesh unless the mighty Government comes to the rescue and does it for us!

    I cannot even count how many times I've written the words "Govt. must come forward to do this or that" in my essays in school life. It seemed to be the ultimate solution, the magic wand, the Aladdin's Geenie to every problem! While a government DOES have a lot of responsibilities to fulfill, we as citizens should focus on how WE can contribute to the maximum, I believe.

    If an investor/third party finance group wants to come forward in engaging Hyatt in Bangladesh, how much feasible do you think that would be? What are the resources they would need?

    1. well the third party can come forward and they can have the financial resource they need. but this is business, and ppl won't want to invest in high risk. a hotel chain, specially if it's five star, it's really high cost and risky. also if u recall the today's 'ruposhi bangla hotel', it lost the foreign partner bcz of poor govt policy (as far as i recall). so the thing is unless govt come forward and give much assistance to this third party, very few (almost none) would take that much high risk to establish a new hotel chain. :)

  4. Interesting write up, however was a bit surprised when you rushed into the article why you thought BD had opportunities for Hyatt. I would have liked to see a heading which says what your opinions are. Having studied IB you could have given a bit more insight academically to explain the benefits. Good effort.

  7. Considering the big fishes in Bangladesh, the opening of Hyatt here would be profitable. And the tourists would get another wonderful place to stay as well! A Great Step!
