India-based hospitality tech company OYO has announced the reactivation of its self-operated hotels business under a new Prime Partner Programme.
The company plans to manage 200 upscale hotels across Indian metropolitan areas on a revenue-sharing basis under annual to long-term contracts.
It shut down its self-operated hotel operations in 2020, shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic began, and is now relaunching after a three-year hiatus.
It aims to help hotel operators manage additional hotels, enabling them to earn extra revenue without the risks and overhead costs of leasing or starting new properties, the company said.
These operators will also receive dedicated relationship managers and have access to OYO’s network of more than 15,000 corporate accounts and over 10,000 travel agents.
The company has collaborated with 30 real estate partners and commenced operations in over 35 hotels during the first phase of the programme.
