  • Brands Pin Success, Goals on Finding Right Niche
    Link to Article Brands pin success, goals on finding right niche 05 JUNE 2017 8:12 AM A look back at profiles of hotel brands over the first half of 2017 reveals some similarities in strategy. (Photo illustration: Annamarie Hudson) By Audrey Peters GLOBAL REPORT—The unique components of hotel brands are what draw guests to visit and return. In a series of brand profiles over the past six months, Hotel News Now has featured those distinctive atmospheres, design elements and other characteristics of brands aimed at catering to guest demographics. Here’s a look at some that have stood out. Canyon Ranch, a hotel and wellness brand, accommodates guests seeking a space to reset their minds and bodies. While the majority of guests range in age from their 30s to mid-40s, they are generally united in the goals of their stay. "Whether (for) weight loss, or just to reset mind, body and soul, (Canyon Ranch is) a place of tranquility,” said COO Tom Klein. “Some people call it a safe haven. … They’re coming for a really transformational experience."”" Langham Hospitality Group’s Cordis brand seeks to give guests a fulfilling experience through wellness programs, wine tastings and elite programming. Combining concepts of wellness and luxury, the brand hopes to attract a “new consumer […] looking for something more fulfilling than the average amenities” by showcasing indulgence and health, Langham CEO Bob Warman said. Travelodge, which has brands in both the U.S. and U.K., is focused on attracting leisure guests with locations that invite exploration. Travelodge hopes to be “the base camp for adventure” for guests that aren’t necessarily looking to stay in a hotel, but rather are seeking a place to stop and recharge before the next parts of their trips, said Keri Putera, VP of Travelodge brand operations at Travelodge U.S.

    20467 mw HotBen_MEPR_Aug07 23/8/07 09:21 Page 7 Middle East Performance Review Building a platform for the future As we said in the introduction, there are predictions that around US$3 trillion will be invested in Middle East tourism and infrastructure during the next 20 years. In the first quarter of 2007 alone, more than US$2 billion was invested in the hotel sector. This level of activity has prompted Reed Travel Exhibitions, the organiser of the region’s leading travel and tourism event – Arabian Travel Market – to sponsor three in-depth studies on the future of Middle East tourism, which we mention at the end of this report. It is also staging an annual event in Dubai to look at tourism development projects and investment. This trade show will provide a platform for investors to identify new projects, “In the first quarter of initiate discussions and strengthen relationships, giving operators and global destination 2007 alone, more than brands the chance to explore joint venture partnerships in the region. US$2 billion was invested Room for more in the hotel sector.” Many hotel chains are already pursuing aggressive expansion plans in the Middle East. From budget brands through to luxury palaces, everyone is keen to get in on the action. Regional player Rotana Hotels and Resorts is set to double its portfolio to 53 hotels by 2010. This will strengthen the company’s presence in Oman, Jordan, Qatar and the UAE – including a property set to open on Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island in 2009. There are currently 17 hotels under construction, while 11 have been signed under new management agreements.

  • Easyjet Europe, in Austria
    ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2017 PURPOSEFUL AND DISCIPLINED Annual report and accounts 2017 and accounts Annual report GROWTH 2017 at 2017 has been a year of purposeful and disciplined growth to develop our market positions at slot-constrained airports. We have grown our share in a number of key airports, with our fleet up-gauging process also allowing us to add capacity where our competitors cannot. Our sustained focus on cost control and lean initiatives is supported by our fleet development and increased use of digital to improve our customers’ experience. We moved quickly in response to the UK’s referendum vote to leave the European Union by establishing a new airline, easyJet Europe, in Austria. easyJet Europe is now operational and will enable easyJet to continue to operate flights both across and domestically within all European countries after the UK has left the EU, regardless of the outcome of talks on a future UK-EU aviation agreement. We continue investing in innovation, which has already revolutionised our customer offer and we expect to continue to harness technology to deliver cost and reliability benefits as well as exciting improvements in customer experiences that will keep easyJet a structural winner at the forefront of the aviation industry. easyJet’s customer proposition continues its positive development and, backed by a strong balance sheet, will deliver long-term shareholder value.
