Diversified business group ITC is planning to develop properties across the country depending on the demand and land availability, said Pawan Verma, group's hotels division senior executive vice-president.
"ITC (hotels division) is keen in development of properties across the country, depending on the demand and the availability of land (on its own)," Verma told reporters today here.
In association with its wholly-owned subsidiary Fortune Park Hotels, ITC had already taken up the property development work in Bangalore and Coimbatore, he said.
Verma revealed that ITC is also considering few more hotel properties to be developed in tier II towns in Andhra Pradesh like Vijayawada, Tirupati etc.
"Fortune Park will invest in all these properties, while ITC will provide land," he said.
Commenting on the impact of economic downturn and Mumbai blasts, Verma said the industry lost its occupancy levels drastically and the situation will continue for some more time.
