French giant AccorHotels’ proposed A$1.2bn (NZ$1.3bn) takeover of Australia’s Mantra Group looks set to go ahead creating a 50,000 room behemoth in the Asia Pacific room.
The Commerce Commission could investigate French giant AccorHotel’s proposed A$1.2bn (NZ$1.3bn) takeover of Australia’s Mantra Group if the deal substantially reduces competition in the New Zealand hotel operator market.
