Accor establece un ambicioso cronograma de apertura de nuevos hoteles para 2021

PARÍS, 21 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Accor comienza el año con una alentadora perspectiva de desarrollo y un cronograma abarrotado de aperturas de nuevos hoteles en diferentes lugares del mundo. Aunque 2020 fue un año de desafíos sin precedentes, donde ni el menor de ellos pasó desapercibido para los sectores de viajes y hotelería, Accor logró mantener un ritmo de desarrollo consistente y siguió firmando nuevos proyectos, lo que llevó a una sólida lista de nuevas inauguraciones de hoteles programadas para 2021.

«Como bien sabemos todos, el año 2020 tuvo un profundo impacto en nuestra vida cotidiana y en la industria hotelera en general. Aún así, las etapas iniciales de la recuperación global serán importantes y significativas», afirmó Agnes Roquefort, directora de Desarrollo Global. «A pesar de los retrasos y los cierres temporales que experimentamos debido a la pandemia, sostuvimos el impulso a lo largo de nuestro proceso de desarrollo y somos optimistas en el sentido de que la implementación mundial de las vacunas contra la Covid-19 renovará la confianza en los viajes y propiciará un mayor sentido de la seguridad personal para toda la población mundial».

La prístina solvencia financiera de Accor, su presencia mundial, y su incomparable portafolio de marcas, no solo mantuvieron a la compañía en una posición sólida para enfrentar los desafíos de 2020, sino que gracias a sus capacidades de desarrollo y a su modelo organizacional el grupo pudo enfocarse en brindar apoyo y servicio a sus propietarios, desarrolladores y socios.

La categoría de estilo de vida será uno de los segmentos más vibrantes de Accor para los próximos años, y se espera que para 2023 se triplique la cantidad de aperturas de hoteles de estilo de vida. Asimismo, el segmento de estilo de vida de Accor actualmente aporta cerca del 5 % de los ingresos anuales del grupo, mientras que representa el 25 % del valor de los proyectos de desarrollo que adelanta la compañía. La empresa conjunta recientemente anunciada con Ennismore, cuya negociación se estima quede cerrada durante el segundo trimestre de 2021, será una potente contribución para la oferta de una plataforma profusamente diversa que habrá de volverse aún más fulgurante este año, gracias a las aperturas de diferentes propiedades con estilos únicos como el Mondrian Shoreditch London, JO&JOE Viena Westbahnhof, SO/ Sotogrande Resort & Spa, SLS Dubai y 25hours Dubai.

El segmento de lujo de Accor también se robará los titulares en 2021 con el Banyan Tree Doha en Qatar y las aperturas de Raffles en Udaipur y Yidda. Fairmont será testigo de la muy esperada apertura del Fairmont Century Plaza en Los Ángeles, junto con Fairmont Windsor en Inglaterra; Carton House, un hotel administrado por Fairmont en Dublín; Fairmont Ramla Riyadh; Fairmont Ambassador Seoul; y Fairmont Tagazhout Bay en Marruecos. Por su parte, Sofitel aportará la cuota de sofisticación francesa con varios destinos nuevos, incluidos Seúl, Hangzhou y Adelaide.

Durante 2020 también se presentaron oportunidades de conversión, que seguirán siendo un motor de crecimiento durante 2021 y los años por venir, ya que Accor ha emergido como el socio predilecto de diferentes propietarios independientes de hoteles que se han visto atraídos por la reconocida flexibilidad y facilidad de transición hacia la compañía, por su espectro inigualable de marcas y por su acogedora cultura que celebra la autenticidad, la diversidad y el emprendimiento.

A lo largo del inigualable portafolio de marcas del grupo, las principales en oportunidades de conversión son House of Originals (lujo), MGallery (top premium), Mövenpick (premium), Grand Mercure (premium), Mercure (intermedios), ibis Styles (económicos) y greet (de presupuesto). No es de sorprender que estas siete marcas representen el 43 % del proceso de aperturas de Accor para los próximos cinco años. Por ejemplo, MGallery dará la bienvenida a varios hoteles nuevos en ubicaciones de enlace clave este año, incluidos Orchard Hills Residences Singapore – MGallery, The Silveri Hong Kong – MGallery y el Porter House Hotel – MGallery en Sídney, Australia.

Se espera que todas las nuevas propiedades del grupo abran cumpliendo plenamente el sello ALLSAFE de higiene y limpieza de Accor. El sello ALLSAFE fue creado por Accor a mediados de 2020 para ofrecer a los huéspedes la seguridad de un estándar de limpieza e higiene del hotel verificado por terceros. Estos estándares fueron desarrollados y verificados por Bureau Veritas, líder en pruebas operativas, inspecciones y certificaciones.

Si desea conocer más información, la reseña «aperturas destacables» adjunta presenta una mirada de alto nivel a algunas de las nuevas propiedades de Accor que los huéspedes y viajeros entusiastas podrán disfrutar alrededor del mundo en 2021.

Electrified Garage East Coast Expansion

OCALA, Fla., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Electrified Garage started as a small shop in Seabrook New Hampshire back in June of 2019. It was founded by Rich Rebuilds and <a target="_blank"…

OCALA, Fla., Jan. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Electrified Garage started as a small shop in Seabrook New Hampshire back in June of 2019. It was founded by Rich Rebuilds and EV Tuning. It quickly became the premier place in New England to bring your Tesla or EV in for service. Many owners north and west of Boston found it move convenient to come to Electrified Garage than drive down into Boston. Between Chad Hrencecin and Chris Salvo we had 11 years cumulative experience. This meant that we had seen most every issue you would experience with a Tesla and knew how to fix it right the first time. We quickly became a bit of a tourist destination for fans of the Rich Rebuilds Youtube Channel. People were also excited to see a third party shop to service their Tesla at.

2020 has been a busy year. We have added an additional technician named Bryan Maynard to the Seabrook location in August. Bryan was an avid DIY car guy with a diverse background of low voltage electrical, CAD, Solidworks, 3D printing, Welding and Fabricating. He brings a lot to the table that will be utilized for future conversions, custom projects and help on the Rich Rebuilds Youtube Channel.

In September, co-founder Chris Salvo moved his family to Ocala Florida to start our first Florida Location. We hired Michael Kohlman as our lead technician for Ocala. He has over 20 years as a Senior Master Technician for Ford and a strong electrical background. Michael typically worked on all the hybrid and electric vehicles at the Ford Dealership he was at. He has transitioned really well to working on Tesla’s and brought a new perspective for how to service them.

In October we teamed up with Michael «Mojo» Mogilewski the owner of Signature Custom Wraps and Coatings out of Dania Beach to bring a one stop shopping experience to Ocala. We then teamed up again with Signature to open our third location in Dania beach at their Headquarters in the beginning of January 2021. We hired Byrone De Jager who was previously a Tesla Technician and Service Manager for Tesla in West Palm Beach, to head up our South Florida expansion.

In November we hired Omar Phillips to lead our Service Advising and Customer Service department. Omar was originally a Service Advisor for Tesla in Queens New York. He then transitioned to Service Manager for Tesla in Syosset New York. Lastly he helped manage 12 Mobile Technicians as the Service Advisor for the New England Regional Mobile Service Team. If you call or email in to the garage for assistance or have a question he will be the one assisting you.

In a relatively short period of time we went from 1 small location and just Chad and Chris wearing multiple hats, to 3 locations and a growing team of experienced Tesla or Automotive industry specialists. We now have over 24 years of cumulative Tesla experience. The original New Hampshire location is now looking to move further south into Massachusetts and to expand operations for more technicians, special projects and custom builds.

As a trusted Lexus partner since 2004, TSD powers 240 Lexus dealerships nationwide and is well-equipped to onboard incoming Lexus locations. TSD has a proven record of success; they manage 17 OEM programs and thousands of car rental companies globally.

TSD’s Executive Vice President, Shawn Concannon, remarks: «We’re excited to continue to guide Lexus through these evolving times. We have shifted our focus to help dealers interact with their customers in a safe manner during the pandemic.»

EXPERIENCE AMAZING (IN YOUR DRIVEWAY)

TSD and Lexus took customer experience to the next level during the pandemic. With customers reluctant to leave their homes, the LMS 2.0 app allowed dealers to bring their dealership directly to their customer’s driveway. A strategic combination of delivery/collection capabilities, direct connect telematics, and remote signatures enabled TSD to create a completely contactless experience.

For many Lexus dealers, Lexus Direct Connect telematics has prompted new ways of thinking. «I love being able to find all our vehicles instantly,» comments Loan Car Manager, Michelle Stevenson. «We offer Sewell customers courtesy delivery if they are within 5-10 minutes of the dealership. Customers for Life!»

Managers like Michelle can track the real-time location of their vehicles, set up geofence notifications, and monitor mileage as well as fuel costs with incredible precision. Dealers can get more information about enabling Lexus Direct Connect and other features on the LCCS site.

With dealerships facing unprecedented challenges, Lexus locations continue to explore different ways of using their fleets beyond the traditional courtesy car and reducing operating costs. The LMS 2.0 platform supports the growth of different mobility options including loaner vehicles, rental cars, extended test drives, car share initiatives, subscription options, and shared fleets. TSD’s solution also provides an automated way for dealers to recoup fuel expenses and collect toll costs.
