Hilton expands in Turkey

HILTON has signed a contract to license a franchise operation in Bursa, Turkey’s fourth largest city.  It is just 40 minutes drive from the slopes of Mount Uluda Ski Resort, the country’s main winter sports destination.  The 170-room upscale Hilton Bursa Convention Centre & Spa and 106-room Hampton by Hilton Bursa will be located next to each other and will represent the first dual-branded development in the country by the hotel group.  It is scheduled to debut in the second quarter of 2011.  Turkey currently ranks as Hilton’s most successful international development market and is expected to gain 40 properties (comprising 5,500 rooms) over the next five years. www.hilton.com
