		<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[With a gradual recovery of the global economy, the hotels and lodging industry is experiencing an increase in demand. 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.

		<description><![CDATA[Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (WYN), a noted hospitality company, announced that through its Exchange and Rentals business unit it is buying ResortQuest, a vacation rental firm in the U.S., for $56 million. The deal is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2010. ResortQuest’s portfolio of 6,000 properties throughout the United States will complement Wyndham&#8217;s existing network of 85,000 vacation properties in approximately 100 countries, with most of them in Europe. The company has acquired about 30 European rental brands since 2000. Management believes that this acquisition will facilitate its expansion in the U.S. serviced vacation rental market, which is a $10 billion market and currently lacks a significant player. Moreover, ResortQuest&#8217;s strong presence in the U.S. and Wyndham’s market leadership in Europe will enable the company ]]></description>

As per the agreement, Wyndham will franchise the Planet Hollywood Hotels brand and provide management services globally. However, Wyndham will have no right on brand’s trademarks and intellectual property; the rights will be retained to Planet Hollywood only.  The Planet Hollywood brand was founded in 1989 and it is renowned as an entertainment-based brand. Management anticipates that the recent addition of this brand to its portfolio will enable it to broaden its customer base. We remain positive on the deal as it is in sync with Wyndham’s strategy to acquire brands and expand through its franchise model, given that it reduces the company’s capital intensity.

Though businesses are still cost-conscious, the recovery in the economy has seen a return of business travelers, with leisure demand increasing as well.
