CEO STATEMENT
“We have outperformed an already strong market and our RevPAR grew in all geographic regions. The improvement in EBITDA margin was led by strong RevPAR growth, which was driven by rate and increased occupancy, rising contribution from hotels in their ramp up phase, and a gradual shift in our business model towards more fee based revenues.
We are continuing to grow our hotel pipeline in the attractive mid-market segment, and have signed our 100th Park Inn in September. In total, we have secured 85% of our 20,000 room target, and feel confident of achieving it by the end of 2009.” Kurt Ritter, President & CEO
