"The EAME region plays a crucial role in Hyatt's global expansion efforts. Over the past five years, Hyatt has achieved 79% growth in EAME. This jump in scale has leveraged the long-standing strategy focusing on capital cities and urban centers, which built the foundation for growth in secondary destinations, resorts and leisure spaces", Javier Águila, Group President EAME commented. "We are confident that our strengthened development and transactions structure will allow us to explore new avenues of growth, ultimately accelerating expansion into new markets and segments."

Peter Norman, newly appointed SVP Corporate Development and Owner Relations EAME explained, "In conjunction with our focus on growth via portfolios in the region, I look forward to increasingly focusing on maintaining and expanding relationships with our existing hotel owners and franchisees. Our loyal ownership community is responsible for a high share of pipeline contributions to date, propelling our growth in EAME."
