"Our same-hotel RevPAR remained flattish this quarter and we remain of the view that the growth will be marginal at best throughout 2014. For the first six months of 2014, we observed no signs for recovery in macro economy and business travel. This posted particular challenges to our economy hotels in lower-tier cities and upscale hotels. The same-hotel RevPAR for economy hotels decreased by 2% and 1% in Q1 and Q2, respectively. As a result, our pricing strategy will remain conservative for the rest of the year to better capture the rising demand for leisure travel in Q3," said Mr. Qi Ji, founder, executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of China Lodging Group. "However, we are still confident about the development of midscale hotels and will continue to execute the rapid expansion of our midscale brands, JI Hotel and Starway Hotel."
