    Hong Kong’s emblem is the Bauhinia flower Hong Kong’s Coming into Bloom Nurtured carefully, seedlings grow and flower Hotel exterior, The Peninsula 8 Deluxe harbour view suite bedroom, The Peninsula hong kong SAR The Peninsula Hong Kong (100% group-owned) General Manager – Peter Borer Renewed confidence and economic growth have fuelled healthier returns in The Peninsula Hong Kong with an increase in overall revenue from the hotel operation of 12% compared to 1999. A faster than expected recovery in the SAR and sustained improvement in the fortunes of its Asian neighbours have further propelled the demand for hotel accommodation. Although volume in the luxury market segment has grown, it does remain price sensitive and a discount mentality still lingers among some competitors. The average rate of growth has, therefore, been modest at 5%. At The Peninsula, all geographic markets have recorded room night growth in 2000. Guests from the USA comprise the most important market at 30% of total room nights sold. The Japanese market has shown strong growth with seventeen thousand room nights sold, an almost 23% increase over 1999. Rooms revenue totalled HK$199 million, 17% above 1999. The yield, at HK$1,654, is 17% over 1999, the highest in the deluxe sector. Expenditure on dining by local guests tracked Hong Kong’s strengthening LIMITED prospects. The hotel’s food and beverage operations, up 9% over 1999, , benefitted from the resurgence both in volume of covers and an increase in average checks. New initiatives have already proven successful and are expected to boost the revenues further.
