‘Izmir is an increasingly trendy destination and we’re delighted with our hotel’s prime location,’ said Alain Rigazzi, general manager of the Movenpick Hotel Izmir. ‘What’s more, the prospect of Universal Expo 2015 will certainly give the city an additional boost.’
Movenpick Hotels & Resorts CEO Jean Gabriel Pérès said Turkey remains an attractive market for the group. Aside from a current project in Ankara, he said the group would likely be announcing plans for additional hotels in the country.
