Peter Straube, director of Champlain’s Hospitality Industry Management program, reports the hotel industry is growing by leaps and bounds in Mumbai -- formerly known as Bombay -- as evidenced by new upscale properties including Marriott, Sheraton, Royal Meridien and Leela Kempinski hotels near the airport.
“In Mumbai, they are creating entirely new downtown zones to handle the rapid growth of the business sector,” Straube said. “There’s a huge demand for supervisors and managers in their hotel industry.”
