China’s new leading tourism conglomerate HNA Hospitality Group denied any talks with European leading hotel chain Accor. Recent reports have been groundless, a news release revealed.
‘HNA Hospitality Group reserves the rights to pursue any legal rights available should any individual or company discuss project acquisition in the name of HNA Hospitality Group without authorization,’ an official statement announced.
HNA recently bought US-group Carlson Hospitality with a majority of European Rezidor Hotel Group. Another acquisition is the take-over of Gategroup, World’s second biggest airline-caterer.
HNA will focus to ‘establish a Chinese hotel brand’ (Jin Jiang Hotels).
