Some businesses chose to stay closed and follow the recommendations of the authorities, while others remained open voluntarily but established a lot of measures to protect their customers and staff. The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin took the hard decision to put the safety of all its staff and guests first, and was closed for three months, but during that time, the team worked hard and took on the challenge of innovating and creating new concepts for dishes to provide to their guests once the epidemic was over. We spoke to Mr Radek Cais, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Tianjin and The Ritz-Carlton Executive Residences, Tianjin, on this month’s Business Tianjin issue, and got to know more about the man leading the great transformation that is now necessary to reinvent the high-end products and services of the hospitality industry of Tianjin.

  • Research Article the Impact of Subway Lines on Residential Property Values in Tianjin: an Empirical Study Based on Hedonic Pricing Model

Villatoro Copyright © 2016 Hui Sun et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The construction of subways has an external impact on the urban environment. Among them, the most important acceleration function lies in the property values of housing near subway stations. Tianjin, the largest open coastal city in Northern China, is selected as the subject of the research in this paper by virtue of its unique background. The Hedonic Pricing Model is used in analysing the change in the value of the properties located within 1,000 metres of completed subway line 3 stations. Using the theories of land rent and land location, and a model of the impact of urban traffic on the surrounding real estate prices, we analyse the sphere of influence of Tianjin Metro Line 3 on real estate prices. Finally, the paper stresses the importance of urban construction and subway building and finds that different development strategies should be used according to the characteristics of the subway in various regions of the city.
