WILL YOU USE LOCAL PURCHASING COMPANIES, EVEN
THOUGH WANDA HAS ITS OWN PURCHASING UNIT?
This depends on each project. We hope to work not
only with U.S.-based purchasing companies, but also
global sourcing suppliers, allowing us to share China's
high-quality products used in our U.S. projects and
other developments worldwide.
THE U.S. HOTEL INDUSTRY HAS BECOME A MAGNET
FOR CHINESE INVESTORS SUCH AS DALIAN WANDA,
ANGBANG INSURANCE GROUP AND HNA GROUP.
WILL THAT TREND CONTINUE?
This is the era of the global economy, with rapid investment growth in China as well as the United States. I
believe it will be a long-term phenomenon, but with
limited overall expansion; investment levels are more
likely to stay steady than increase dramatically.
WILL A MARRIOTT TAKEOVER OF STARWOOD AND
DISRUPTORS SUCH AS AIRBNB MAKE IT MORE
DIFFICULT TO SUCCEED IN THE U.S.?
Wanda Reign Hotel CHengdu
OF ALL THE HOTELS YOU HAVE VISITED RECENTLY IN
THE U.S., WHICH IMPRESSED YOU MOST?
The Park Hyatt and the Baccarat Hotel in New York; the
Ace Hotel Los Angeles and London House in Chicago.
These hotels are fashionable and modern, with a focus
on combining culture and art with an emphasis on
detail and performance. Of course, there are many
excellent hotels in China, too. An example is You 3, a
terrific hotel that opened in Shanghai in June. I like
hotels that pay attention to the details, such as a curved
wall or an interesting metal screen. As a guest, I enjoy
being guided through a series of unique experiences-
not with clutter or over-the-top statements, but with
subtle guide posts. Hotels should have a human scale;
the guest should never feel insignificant in the space.

Wanda Vista ResoRt XisHuangbanna
W E I M I N C A I ( WA N DA R E I G N C H E N G D U ; WA N DA V I S TA R E S O R T X I S H UA N G B A N N A )
The Marriott-Starwood deal is really more about the
movement of capital than competition. If they do
extremely well when it comes to resource integration,
then there may be very good market performance as a
result. It's a very complex process, because the brands
and their styles are very different. It will certainly be a
challenge for them.
As for Airbnb, their market positioning is different
from ours. Airbnb is more inclined to provide guests
with a local and homey atmosphere. Our Vista hotels
will provide high-end services, enabling our guests to
immerse themselves in a comfort level beyond that of
"home." We offer a comprehensive experience,
including social activity, food, health, business, arts,
etc. The market positioning for Wanda's apartments is
also for those high-end customers who prefer these
"hotel-style" services. It's two very distinct offers.
