CEO STATEMENT
“We had a good momentum during the first quarter followed by a slow down in
April-May and a pick up in June. We believe that our performance was in line
with or better than the overall market, and expect RevPAR to continue to grow
during the remainder of 2007. Rising contribution from hotels in their ramp up
phase, rate driven RevPAR growth and a gradual shift in our business model are
expected to improve the EBITDA margin.
During the first half of 2007, we opened over 3,500 rooms. Given these new
openings and our contracted pipeline, we feel confident of adding 20,000 new
rooms by the end of 2009.” Kurt Ritter, President & CEO
