Hyatt
Hotels Corporation (NYSE:H) today announced a multi-property
collaboration with Be Live Hotels that will include the growth of the Sunscape
Resorts & Spas brand in the Caribbean. The deal is expected to expand Hyatt’s
Inclusive Collection, which was introduced following Hyatt’s acquisition of
Apple Leisure Group in 2021, by nearly 2,000 rooms.
Two Be Live Hotels properties in the Dominican Republic, owned by
Spanish hospitality company Globalia, will be renovated and transformed into
Sunscape Resorts & Spas. The renovated hotels are expected to open in 2023,
bolstering the family-friendly brand’s presence in the Caribbean.

Caribbean marks an opportunity to broaden all-inclusive family-friendly
offerings in a desirable market for global travelers. We are seeing great
demand for the four-star product and are grateful for the trust of Globalia in
the future of these properties as part of our growing global Inclusive
Collection brand portfolio,” said Javier Coll, group president, global business
development & innovation, Inclusive Collection, Hyatt. “We believe this
collaboration showcases the combined strength and potential of Hyatt and Apple
Leisure Group and how owners are empowered to remain vested in their assets
while achieving success through our brands, distribution channels and global
reputation.”
“For Globalia, this moment with Hyatt represents another success in the
strategy followed by the group to recover and strengthen our leadership
position in the markets where we are present together with a company that is a
world renowned in the hospitality industry," said Juan José Hidalgo,
President of Globalia. "We are proud to walk together with Hyatt in the
development and growth of a differentiated proposal for the vacation
model in the Sunscape Resorts & Spas brand, and we hope to continue working
together on future projects to redefine our sector." Globalia is one of
the leading tourism groups in Spain and the Latin American market. In addition
