Moevenpick reaches “milestone” of 100 hotels

 

Berlin/Zurich. "Up to now, Moevenpick has been sailing along the coast, but now we have picked up speed to cross the ocean," says Jean Gabriel Pérès vividly describing the status quo of Moevenpick Hotels & Resorts. On June 1, the Frenchman will have been ten years at the head of the Swiss-German hotel group, "and we have fulfilled many plans," summarises Pérès. The 2008 business report, which was issued this Monday, is proof of the successful course: for the sixth year in a row, the group managed to increase its operational result. Despite the fact that Moevenpick is no longer a quoted company, Pérès' motto for 2009 is about maximizing revenues and growing faster. At the same time, he wants to improve product quality such as employee qualification. In doing so, Moevenpick trusts less in globalization, but in regionalization.
