Correa noted that the hotel investment for 2010 was $1.7bn.
"This year we estimate that we are going to reach $2bn," he said. "This is because we are counting on hotel projects to be initiated in January, February and March 2012."
The group attributed the industry growth to tax exemptions for hotel construction works and improved security conditions.
