  • All Nippon Airways and Intercontinental Hotels Group ANNOUNCE JOINT VENTURE to CREATE JAPAN’S LEADING HOTEL GROUP
    Japan National Tourist Organization Contact: Marian Goldberg www.jnto.go.jp/ & www.japantravelinfo.com [email protected], 212-757-5641 x16 One Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 1250, New York, NY 10020 For Immediate Release All Nippon Airways and InterContinental Hotels Group ANNOUNCE JOINT VENTURE TO CREATE JAPAN’S LEADING HOTEL GROUP TOKYO, Japan, November 23, 2006 – ANA (All Nippon Airways) and InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) signed a hotel operating joint venture to create what could be the biggest hotel operator in Japan, the world’s second largest hotel market in terms of number of rooms. The joint venture – to be named IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan – will officially commence on December 1, 2006. Britain’s IHG, which said it will invest $15 million for a majority stake in the joint venture, was selected as ANA’s partner after a highly competitive process. The strength of IHG’s family of brands, robust growth pipeline, international outlook and established operating systems made it the preferred partner for ANA, while ANA’s reputation for high quality standards and service made it an attractive partner for IHG. Both companies share corporate values and strategic objectives. ANA will sign new management contracts with IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan for its 13 owned and leased hotels (4,943 rooms). These hotels will, gradually over an 18 month period beginning in April 2007, be re-branded to one of the three co-brands created for Japan – ANA- InterContinental, ANA-Crowne Plaza and ANA-Holiday Inn. The flagship ANA Hotel Tokyo will be the first to be co-branded on April 1, 2007 as the ANA-InterContinental Tokyo.

  • Hotel Staff and Services Improve Guest Satisfaction The
    J.D. Power Asia Pacific Reports: Hotel Staff and Services Improve Guest Satisfaction The Ritz-Carlton, Fujiya Hotel, JR Kyushu Hotel and Super Hotel Rank Highest in Hotel Satisfaction in Their Respective Segments TOKYO: 26 November 2014 — Enhancement of guest services and staff attentiveness increase guest satisfaction and their intent to stay at that hotel again, according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2014 Japan Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index StudySM released today. The study, now in its ninth year, measures hotel guest satisfaction across seven factors: reservations; check-in/ check-out; guest rooms; food and beverage1; hotel services; hotel facilities; and cost and fees. Hotels are evaluated in four segments, which are based on the room rate per night and guest room size. The study finds that overall guest satisfaction is 40 points higher (on a 1,000-point scale) among guests who used a hotel service such as the fitness or bath facilities, laundry service, in-room service or Internet access than among guests who did not use a hotel service. Overall satisfaction is 70 points higher among guests who used multiple services. In addition, overall satisfaction among guests who have interaction with the hotel staff during their stay, such as a greeting from the housekeeping staff or a restaurant server is more than 50 points higher for high-price hotels (727 vs. 654) and more than 30 points higher for low-price hotels (642 vs. 592) than among guests who have no interaction with the hotel staff during their stay. Furthermore, satisfaction increased by an additional 50 points when guests indicated that the hotel staff “always smiled.” “Many hotel chains have made long-term investments to improve their properties, and are benefitting from increased satisfaction when their guests utilize their services,” said Chie Numanami, senior manager at J.D.
