Riu Hotels: expansion in Mexico and Jamaica

Mexico and Jamaica are the points of expansion for the Riu Hotels chain.

In October the Riu Playacar will open its doors, a five star hotel with 360 rooms at Playa del Carmen (Mexican Caribean), that will be the fourth establishment of the chain in this area. The new hotel is right on the sea, only a few metres from the Riu Palace Mexico, the flagship of the chain outside Spain. The hotels of the chain in Mexico attract a large number of visitors from the Argentine, USA and Canada, as well as tourists from Central Europe and Spain.

Meanwhile, in May 2001, the Riu Tropical Bay will open its doors in the paradise beach of Bloody Bay, in Negril (Jamaica). The five star hotel, is aimed mainly at the markets of USA and Canada, where the RIU name is acquiring prestige and fame.

All the RIU hotels in America are privately owned except for the two hotels in Cuba, that are only administered.

Riu Hotels foresees future growth with a new establishment in the Domincan Republic and the construction of a hotel on Miami Beach.
