“During the first four months of 2010, we are averaging nearly two and a half new properties per week,” said Roger Bloss, the Founder, President and CEO of Vantage Hospitality, which also includes the Canadas Best Value Inn?, Chinas Best Value Inn?, Value Inn Worldwide? and Lexington Collection? brands. “This growth demonstrates the strength of our personal attention, revenue-generating programs, and unique model that allows members to be in business for themselves, not by themselves.
