Offenbach. At the end of June, the New Century Hotel group based in Hangzhou, China, celebrated the opening of its first hotel in Europe and announced a further acquisition in Frankfurt-Offenbach. The appetite for Germany and its neighbouring countries is great. Yet management at the Chinese hotel chain likes to take its time and is reviewing offers carefully. During the opening celebrations, Susanne Stauss had the opportunity to speak with Miaolin Chen, the founder and supervisory board chairman of New Century Tourism Group.
