Hilton Worldwide's expansion plans in Mexico call for seven hotels and resorts to open in the next 12 months, according to George Massa, vice president and managing director of development.
This year, Hilton will open a Hilton Garden Inn in Tuxtla Gutierrez; three Doubletree hotels in Queretaro, Merida and Mexico City; and a Hampton Inn in Ciudad del Carmen.
A Hampton Inn in Guadalajara and a Hampton Inn & Suites in Los Cabos will debut in early 2012.
Hilton also has approved five hotel deals in Puerto Vallarta, Saltillo, Toluca, Zacatecas and Queretaro. The hotels are expected to open by the end of 2012.
Hilton Worldwide's Mexico portfolio is expected to grow from the current 22 hotels and resorts to 34 properties by the end of 2012, according to Massa.
