The move is to strengthen the company’s presence in the Latin American markets, the sources added. However, when asked about the development, OYO Hotels and Homes Chief Operating Officer Abhinav Sinha said, “Mexico, being an emerging tourist destination, is surely on the cards. We, however, can’t confirm this at the moment.” OYO continues to look for opportunities to expand its international presence, he added. “We are currently evaluating several markets across the Middle East, South East Asia, Europe and the US,” Sinha said. OYO’s current portfolio combines fully operated real estate comprising of more than 23,000 hotels and 125,000 vacation homes.
