JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel continues its investments and plans to spend some 900,000 Euro on modernizing a ballroom and 10 meeting rooms next year. At the same time, the hotel's General Manager, Igael Porecki, told Business Arena in an exclusive interview that Romania continued to represent an attractive market for Marriott International and further expansion was on the cards. Meanwhile, in spite of the difficult economic background, the JW Marriott official expects a small increase in the hotel's occupancy rate in 2012.
After 36 years of experience in the tourism industry and seven years of double-managing two hotels in the Republic of Georgia, Igael Porecki, the new general manager of the JW Marriott, is determined to take up new challenges in Romania. Though he has been here for only four months, Porecki, who has Romanian roots in Iasi county, is counting on the team's support to bring the hotel's development plans across the finish line.
