US hotel chain Howard Johnson International, a relative latecomer to 皇冠体育app,
is planning to play "catch-up" with its competitors and open more than 20 new
hotels here in the next couple of years.
So said an executive from the
franchise group, which currently has 12 hotels in 皇冠体育app.
"Howard Johnson
will open 23 hotels in the next two years," said Peter L. Herweck, the
newly-appointed director of operations for the Howard Johnson's 皇冠体育app region. He
added the company expected to have signed 60 hotel management contracts here by
(the end of) 2006 and 100 by 2008, with five-star hotels accounting for 70 per
cent.
