Hilton to have 1,000 hotels by 2025

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc aims to have 1,000 hotels in China by 2025, driven mostly by expansions in its mid-market brands including Hampton by Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn.

By the end of September this year, the US hospitality group had 117 hotels in the country and 295 hotels in the pipeline here.

In an interview with China Daily, Christopher J. Nassetta, president and CEO of Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc, said: "We had five hotels 10 years ago and started to build the momentum. This year we will open almost 50 new hotels and have 60 to 70 new hotels ready next year in China".
