Fast-expanding hotel company Apple Leisure Group has more than 10,000 rooms in its resort development pipeline, the company told Caribbean Journal.

The rooms are across 12 projects, including new construction and rebranding, in seven locations across Mexico, the Caribbean and its new destination, Europe.

The new rooms will mean a 50 percent increase to the firm’s existing inventory.

“As we continue to grow, our hotel owners and investors have unprecedented access to the largest distribution network in the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean, offering additional opportunities to yield higher return on investment on their properties,” said Javier Coll, executive vice president at ALG.

The growth includes a substantial expansion in the wider Caribbean region, including a recently-announced alliance in Mexico and a new resort deal coming at the former Riu Palace in St Martin.
