A dynamic man with a long list of projects

Berlin. The ITB traffic chaos in Berlin and his chock-a-blog schedule made it difficult to meet each other, but it worked out in the end: David Fattal, founder of Fattal Group in Israel, belongs to the new figures on the market one should have seen in private once. After all, he wants to open about 80 hotels in Europe by 2011. "I`m a hotelier," says Fattal about himself, "and the German(-speaking) market is of great interest to me, as it is economically developed and provides the same business culture as Israel." In contrast to the major international chains, the rising entrepreneur would only prefer to don one thing: buy hotels and operate them himself.
