Pallav Singhal, Hotel Manager, Fairfield by Marriott Belagavi, throws light on the potential Belagavi holds as a MICE destination and how the hotel aims to tap this market
Indian travellers seek adventure and exploration wherever they go. Destinations within the country are as enticing as those abroad and Belagavi promises to be just that. Set along the Western Ghats, Belagavi is a city that remains largely unexplored. Its forts, temples, and waterfalls stand tall as travellers pass by, without including them in their must-visit list.
Why Belagavi for Marriott?
Belagavi is the commercial hub and divisional headquarters of North Karnataka, ranking second to Bengaluru in terms of automotive exports. As Belagavi grows as a business and leisure destination, there is a great demand for higher quality mid-range accommodation in the city.
