		<description><![CDATA[The hotels and lodging industry shaped up pretty well in 2011 thanks to the gradual global economic recovery, and seems to be poised for long-term growth. With the return of business as well as leisure travelers coupled with decelerating supply growth, pricing power remained steady in the year. Improvement in the U.S. economy and the consequent rise in operating metrics helped most of the hoteliers report strong quarterly results. Group bookings appear to be gaining momentum and the companies registered strong advance bookings and pricing for 2012 and beyond. Booking windows are also lengthening. However, macro headwinds can partially restrain the booking momentum in 2012. International Growth Owing to the saturation in the U.S market, major hoteliers are exploring growth opportunities abroad. Some international markets offer greater potential based on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hotels and lodging industry is finally showing improvements, and seems poised for long-term growth, thanks to the gradual global economic recovery. The industry has been witnessing a return of business travelers and a growing demand for leisure, though concerns about the health of the U.S. economic recovery pose some risks to this outlook. Riding on the back of improvement in the U.S. economy and the consequent rise in operating metrics, most of the hoteliers have started reporting strong quarterly results. Profits are expected to rise further in 2011 as bookings continue to improve. Despite some uncertainty about the near-term economic growth outlook notwithstanding, group bookings appear to be gaining momentum and the companies are recording strong advance bookings and pricing for 2012 and beyond. Booking windows are also lengthening. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New York-based Morgans Hotel Group Co. (MHGC) announced that its chief executive officer (CEO) Fred Kleisner will resign upon the completion of his tenureship on December 31. The hotel company appointed Fred Kleisner as CEO in December 2007, after his successful stint as an interim CEO since September 2007. We believe Fred Kleisner navigated Morgans Hotel through the economic slowdown and decline in leisure demand quite impressively. His experience in the hotel industry as well as dedicated service has helped the company scale new heights. Morgans Hotel has only a month to find a suitable replacement for Fred Kleisner. The company has also appointed the executive search firm Spencer Stuart to speed up the search. Fred Kleisner has offered to extend his period of service, if the company fails to ]]></description>

The industry faced extremely tough challenges in the prior year due to the economic turmoil that resulted in weak labor and tight credit markets, resulting in lower discretionary spending. The recovery in the economy has seen a return of business travelers, with a rising demand for leisure. However, the rate of improvement in room rates still lags. Riding on the back of improvement in the U.S. economy and the consequent rise in operating metrics, most of the hoteliers have started reporting positive quarterly results and profits are expected to rise further in 2010, as bookings continue to ramp.

The operating metrics are looking up, and year-over-year comparisons are becoming easier as the operating environment was significantly stressed in the prior year. Though businesses are still cost-conscious, the recovery in the economy has seen a return of business travelers, with leisure demand increasing as well.

As the recession continues, both business and leisure travelers are cutting back on trips. However, with some early signs of economic recovery, the industry is experiencing an increase in demand. While hotel occupancy levels have somewhat improved, we noticed that pricing pressures persists as hotels continue to offer heavily discounted rates to draw in travelers. As such, we expect profits to remain restricted in this environment. In evaluating hotel companies such as Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. (HOT) and Marriott International Inc. (MAR), we will be paying close attention to changes in average daily room rates as an ]]></description>
