locations that are easil accessible b mass transit. Tourists are attracted to these hotels in #o#ular visitor destinations "here the man local

attractions mean that the "ill not be s#ending much time in their hotel rooms.

The organization has decided to use an ethnocentric a##roach and send some of their e+isting Vietnambased managers to The @ to lead the

changeover of the ne" hotels and then manage them after the reo#en.

If this ne" overseas venture is successful, @hAch $Bn *e+ ma decide to ac;uire other small hotel grou#s in other Euro#ean or sian countries.

The organization "ould lie to o"n 45C hotels in the ne+t five ears. Their 4Cear #lan is to o"n 7CC hotels across Euro#e and sia. This is an
