Accor has been named the operator for the Jaipur Exhibition & Convention Centre (JECC), the largest exhibition and convention facility in South Asia. Developed jointly by Dangayach Group and Derewala Group, JECC is an integrated facility spread over 42 acres.
“Accor’s appointment to manage JECC is a reflection of the group’s experience in managing major conference and exhibition facilities across India. We have proven experience in helping establish world-class meeting and exhibitions centres, and we believe we can make a similar contribution to the JECC development. In India, we have been the pioneer in the field of Convention Centres, through the Hyderabad International Convention Centre and the Lavasa International Convention Centre and Novotel Visakhapatnam Varun Beach. We look forward to playing our part and working with Dangayach-Derewala Group in managing JECC and in turn, put Jaipur on the map as a national and international destination for exhibitions, conferences and events,” said Jean-Michel Cassé, Senior Vice President, Accor India.
Facilities in JECC include two exhibition halls with a combined column-free space of 20,000 sq.m. and an open exhibition area of 10,000 sq.m. Additionally, JECC has a convention centre of international standards with a plenary seating for 1,200 delegates, supported by 20 meeting rooms spread over 5,000 sq.m. of area accompanied with pre-function areas, registration counters, interpretation booths and a lawn for outdoor events.
“We are confident that this world–class convention facility will drive visitor growth to Jaipur, create jobs, support local businesses and deliver broader economic benefits to the northern region of India. The JECC will ensure superior, seamlessly coordinated services, including accommodation, meeting facilities, banqueting, catering and entertainment, with the capability to handle exceptionally, large-scale events,” said Pramod Agrawal, Chairman, Derewala Group.
