Travelodge opens positions with new hotels
Despite the economy crisis, the hotel chain Travelodge is due to open 22 new hotels in the UK before Christmas. Their development managing director Paul Harvey has announced that the credit crunch has forced corporations to change their hotel habits for their employees and there is a rising demand for budget hotel accommodations. These 22 new hotels will create around 400 new jobs. The story doesn't say if hotel employees who used to work for luxury hotels will move to economy brands overnight. I would guess redundancies will take place in upscale hotels if occupancy keeps going South.
I would imagine that both Premier Inn and Travelodge are going to do very well from the financial crisis.
