Amari enters into a joint venture with Mandeep S Lamba to create Amari India

This new development is in line with Amari’s recently announced plans to position itself as one of the leading Asian hospitality chains with plans to operate 51 properties in the Asia Pacific region by 2018.

The new joint venture brings within Amari’s foothold in India an established and dedicated network of tourism industry resources and a wealth of Indian hospitality expertise.

Mr. Mandeep S Lamba has enjoyed a successful 25-year hospitality career including tenure as President of Fortune Park Hotels, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC Ltd, as well as the role of Managing Director for the Indian office of the UK-based financial services and real estate entity, Dawnay Day.

Mr. Peter Henley, Amari’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are delighted with this development as it is a perfect launch pad for Amari to position its quality services and value product line.
