Ashish Kumar Singh put his managerial skills to good use when the second 96-room property was opened adjacently in April 2014. At the existing hotel the YTD occupancy stood at over 90 percent and was registering robust year-on-year growth. Singh had the additional responsibility of the new property to helm. Within two months of opening, his team managed sold-out dates for both properties with stable occupancy of over 70 percent for the new hotel. This was possible by undertaking initiatives like giving Friday-centric bookings.
Long-stay guests were encouraged and this inventory was closely monitored and pre-planned as it helped the revenue administration in upscaling the best available rate sales. Potential accounts were successfully converted to core accounts leading to stable occupancy in sales. This helped Singh’s team in achieving over 90 percent occupancy
