Hilton Worldwide has unveiled figures stating that the chain has expanded its footprint to 100 countries and territories around the world. 

In 2015, the company’s strategic focus on organic growth, led by 12 brands, has IMAGE 5seemingly secured Hilton Worldwide’s place as one of the fastest growing global hospitality companies around.
A record 100,000 plus rooms were signed for development in 2015 adding to an industry-leading pipeline of 275,000 rooms globally, half of which are under construction, representing nearly 20% of all rooms under construction globally. More than 50,000 gross rooms were added, and more than 43,000 net rooms, representing a 6.6% growth in the managed and franchised segment; and 14,500 rooms were converted from competitors’ brands and independent hotels, representing nearly 30% of all openings in 2015.

Last year Hilton Worldwide also created an estimated 20,000 plus new hotel jobs as a result of managed and franchised properties opening in its portfolio; and welcomed more than 140 million visitors to the more than 4,600 owned, managed and franchised hotels and timeshare properties in its portfolio.

Since 2007, Hilton Worldwide has expanded by more than 50% and has successfully launched three new brands which collectively have nearly 60,000 rooms either open or in various stages of development, boosting the company’s growth.

“Entering our 100th country is a testament to the strength of our brands, which continue to position Hilton Worldwide as the fastest-growing global hospitality company with a record pipeline of rooms,” said Christopher J. Nassetta, president and CEO, Hilton Worldwide. “We strive to be the first choice for our owners by driving the best returns, for our guests by providing a compelling brand for any travel need, and for our Team Members by creating a great place to work,” he added.
