(2) The hotel closure in Q3 2016 was higher than the
previous quarters because:a) In order to increase the product
qualities, Huazhu removed 44 of the manachised and franchised
hotels related to HanTing, Hi Inn, Elan and Starway from Huazhu’s
network for incompliances with the brand and operating
standards. |
b) Huazhu removed 15 franchised and 1 manachised hotels under
ibis and ibis Styles brands after completion of legal procedures
for termination. The financial impact from such removal is not
significant because these hotels have not been integrated into
Huazhu's operating platform for operation and management fee
purposes. |
Other common reasons for hotel closure including contract
expiration, rezoning and others. |
