The brand is drawing a lot of interest, and we hope that it will be as successful as the other brands. "We are also in conversation for some more projects, but we are waiting for them to be finalized and signed," she stated.
Marriott International is considering options for Moxy in tier I cities as well as certain vacation spots where the target audience fits the brand.
When asked about the challenges of getting skilled manpower, Alex said, Marriott International is highly focused on skill training internally as well as externally, therefore, the hospitality company has always attracted good talent.
