development. "It has been quite busy!" he said. "By December, Red
Planet Hotels will have achieved gaining ownership interests in 20
operating hotels in just 12 months. With our owned and
operated assets alongside the existing Tune portfolio we have
invested in, our expansion into this sector during 2012 sets us up
to grow further next year and maintain our strategy of sustained
development and investment in one of the world's growing brands."

Bangkok will be the first of many more in Thailand's capital and
is the third in the country after Hat Yai and Pattaya.
