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
