Onyx Hospitality Group dives into Sri Lankan market
(Srilankamirror) - Onyx Hospitality Group, a Thai hotel management firm, sees a lot of tourism potential in Sri Lanka and plans at least eight hotels there by 2018.
For the first step, the group is introducing the Ozo brand for potential tourist destinations in the island country, said Peter Henley, the president and chief executive of Onyx.
It has already sealed a deal to manage two hotels under the Ozo label for Sino Lanka Hotels Holding, Bangkok Post reports.
Among the two are the 160-room Colombo Ozo, which is being built on Marine Drive, a north-south thoroughfare stretching along the Colombo coast, and the 148-room Ozo resort located on the beach in Galle. Both Ozo properties are expected to open in late 2013.
