The owners of Taj Hotels, Resorts and Palace has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Yunnan Tourism to “engage in the development, construction, operation and management of two hotels in Kunming Expo Garden”.
No specific details have been given about the properties or their opening dates, aside from their planned branding under the Taj and Vivanta by Taj offerings.

Taj does not currently operate any properties in China, although contracts have been signed for it to manage the Taj Temple of Heaven Beijing, and a Vivanta by Taj hotel in Hainan Island.
