[HD video below] Last week, TravelNewsAsia.com had the opportunity to interview Mr. Jesper Francl, the Interim General Manager of the Radisson Hotel in Astana, Kazakhstan.

In the interview which took place in the Royal Suite, we discuss the hotel, which markets it targets and who is travelling to Astana and why.

We also discuss what a Radisson Blu hotel is, and when the signage etc will change at the hotel and what the hotel will be called after the rebranding. You will also learn why some Radisson hotels lose the "Blu" yet still remain part of the brand.

Mr. Francl tells us about Astana and what there is to do in and around the city, plus what the average room rate is at the hotel and how the service levels compare to hotels in Asia Pacific. He also addresses the visa issue and gives his thoughts on how that could improve, plus much, much more.
