Nearly 200 international hotels, including prominent chains, are either already operating in Xinjiang or planning to open in the region, despite reports of widespread human rights abuses by China, according to a new report.
The Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) has identified at least 115 operational hotels that “benefit from a presence in the Uyghur region”, including major international hotel chains — Accor, Hilton, IHG, Marriott, and Wyndham. Additionally, at least 74 other hotels are in various stages of construction or planning in China’s Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang).
