I have also experienced some difficult situations and biggest ‘uncertainties’ in my career during this period, such as approaching closed markets which had no international tie-ups, the economic recession, SARS virus, terrorist attacks and the ongoing pandemic that has gripped the sector. Zubin Saxena:Businesses should look at re-evaluating commercial strategies based on the new hyper-local consumer trends that have emerged, such as short distance road trips to city outskirts and curate distinctive and compelling offerings to capture this demand. At the beginning of the lockdown, several of our hotels in India came together to light up their facades in creative displays such as heart shapes, letters L-O-V-E and face masks as part of #Radisson Cares initiative to show our love for the guests we miss and look forward to welcoming again.

Being an asset-light company, we worked towards having multiple mid-sized hotels at the same location, ensuring better viability for owners and improving brand visibility. As an example, we have 25 hotels with over 3000 rooms just in Delhi NCR. This improved both our reach and perception and helped us realize our vision of being the strongest international hotel brand with the most widely connected domestic network in India.
