Despite the slowdown in tourism, budget-hotel booking platform RedDoorz Philippines is thriving.
Miguel Capistrano III, RedDoorz country manager in a press briefing last week said the chain is sticking to its target of doubling its properties in the country per year from the current 220.
Capistrano said the expansion will focus on areas with looser quarantine restrictions, but the timeline of openings is being reviewed on a quarterly basis.
He added RedDoorz is confident “travel will resume” when leisure tourism ban is lifted and cases of the new coronavirus diseases 2019 decline.
Target areas are top destinations outside Metro Manila like Palawan, Baguio, Cebu, Bohol and Davao.
According to Capistrano, RedDoorz’ pivot has enabled it to ride the pandemic. Since last year, RedDoorz has been serving essential industries like manufacturing, pharmaceutical, government agencies, hospitals, business process outsourcing and entertainment companies which required extended use of spaces.
