Editorial May 18, 2012 – Event superlative, superlative hotels
Dear Insiders,
Events change the world: Baku in Azerbaijan will host the Eurovision Song Contest. To this end, the city has built a showcase stadium with a capacity of 20,000 people and hotels have been benefitting for months. A Rezidor GM reports on the developments in the tourism no-man's-land.
As a permanent event, Disneyland Paris celebrates its 20th birthday this year. A fun park life with both highs and lows. At present, it's again riding high and is set to go beyond that: Huge investment is about to be made - and 17,000 new hotel rooms built.
Fund initiator August Jagdfeld also wanted to ride high. The result was a rollercoaster experience with million euro investments.

A fitting contribution here comes from our author Beatrix Boutonnet who today sets out Germany's new insolvency legislation.
Where money is no object, world-class hotels like the Jumeirah at Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi can be built - with its enormous lobby and 120 types of marble in the hotel tower. The hotel is the new superlative with which the small oil-rich Abu Dhabi likes to tantalise its bigger sister, Dubai. Shame then that Jumeirah doesn't allow its dynamic and experienced director Doris Grreif to speak in facts and figures. In light of the shockingly diluted PR statements, we decided not to publish the planned Q&A interview with Doris Greif as provided.
Last but not least: For hospitalityInside, Expo Real is coming up - planning for the second hospitality joint stand is starting to take shape. The "World of Hospitality" will double in size. Should you wish to become a partner - the countdown has started. More in our news and on our front page. - The full editorial…
