Press Release from Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited

NASSAU, Bahamas, Oct. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited (CTFE) is pleased to announce that it has entered into negotiations in connection with the ownership of Baha Mar. CTFE, a world-class developer with immense experience in global hospitality and mixed-use development, has applied to the Government of The Bahamas for approval as a proposed investor and acquirer of the Baha Mar Resort, by way of acquisition of Perfect Luck Assets Limited (Perfect Luck), the company to which certain assets of the Baha Mar Resort have been transferred. 

Not only does CTFE have a vast and diverse portfolio of global business operations, but one of the company's subsidiaries, Rosewood Hotel Group, has had a relationship with Baha Mar since 2011. CTFE has significant experience in tourism/hospitality, in part, through Rosewood Hotel Group, which manages 55 hotels in 18 countries under three different brands. Some of CTFE's most iconic owned properties include The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel (New York); Rosewood London; The Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel (Beverly Hills); and the Grand Hyatt (Hong Kong). Rosewood Hotel Group also operates three resorts in the Caribbean: Jumby Bay, A Rosewood Resort in Antigua, Rosewood Tucker's Point in Bermuda, and Rosewood Little Dix Bay in the British Virgin Islands (re-opening 2017).   

CTFE also has extensive experience with large-scale integrated developments. For example, one of the largest investments in London's history, the over US$10 Billion Greenwich Peninsula development project, as well as the Queen's Wharf Brisbane, a US$2.3 Billion integrated resort development project in Australia, are both CTFE and affiliated company projects.

"CTFE is looking forward to having Baha Mar join its portfolio of world-class integrated resort development projects," said Dr. Henry Cheng, Chairman of CTFE. "We are fully committed to this project and plan to hire as many Bahamians as possible to work at the property."

CTFE is dedicated to the successful opening of Baha Mar and will work with the Government to achieve the goal of a phased opening.  As part of the company's commitment to the project and The Bahamas in the immediate term, CTFE will invest millions ahead of the official deal completion through pre-opening activities and employment – which has already commenced and will be expanded in the coming weeks and months.

Graeme Davis, the President of CTFE's Bahamas subsidiary added, "CTFE is a company that embraces and champions the culture and values of the communities where it does business around the globe.  We are excited to create an experience in The Bahamas that showcases what we collectively have to offer the world. We are confident that Baha Mar will be a property that Bahamians can be proud of."

As part of the remobilization efforts, CTFE is already in discussions with hotel brands previously involved in the Baha Mar project, including Hyatt and SLS Hotels. CTFE also intends to re-engage its subsidiary, Rosewood Hotel Group, as a luxury hotel operator at Baha Mar.

Given the non-disclosure agreement in place, the stakeholders involved are unable to discuss specific terms of the transaction or the negotiations at this time. However, we look forward to keeping the public informed on pre-opening activities.

WUYUAN, China, Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- To present visitors a better viewing experience this year, Jiangxi Wuyuan Tourism Co., Ltd. has been renovating the walking trails around Shicheng Village, one of the prime viewing locations of maple leaves in Wuyuan County China as the peak season of this year's fall foliage is expected to arrive in early November.

Shicheng Village (the stone city), one of the prime viewing locations of maple foliage in Wuyuan County, China, is embracing the peak season of this year’s fall foliage expected to arrive in early November and last through mid-December

The route is designed to broaden the existing paths and connect people to more viewing and photo opportunities. New observation decks have been built in open areas and old ones repaired and secured as the bright yet brief fall colors begin to splash on the mountains and valleys of Shicheng Village.

Shicheng, which translates into "stone city" for its rock walls at the entrance of the village, is best known for its ancient Hui-style architecture, mysterious fog and hundreds of tall maple trees. The elegant black and white houses unevenly dotted over the hills also add to the unique scenery that blends together the peace of country life and the serenity of the landscape.

A recommended location for appreciating the fall foliage is the 10-kilometer-long old post road on the east side of Shicheng Village, as the bluish grey quartzite-paved road nicely contrasts the radiant maple forests on both sides.

"In China 'Shuang Jiang', the first frost, symbolizes the colder weather in late autumn," said Bin Zhan, brand manager of Jiangxi Wuyuan Tourism Co. Ltd. "The maple trees in Shicheng start turning red towards the end of October every year, but the visually stunning scenery only lasts a month."

About Wuyuan

Wuyuan County, located on the northeastern tip of Jiangxi Province, is known for its one-of-a-kind mountain landscape. It is also home to the most well-preserved ancient Hui-style architecture. Some of the most beautiful countryside in China, Wuyuan attracts photographers from around the world every year to document not only the natural scenery, but also the unique farming culture and folk traditions.

For more information on visiting Wuyuan to view the fall foliage, please check out the official WeChat of Wuyuan Tourism (ourwuyuan) or visit its official website www.wuyuan.cc.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise Holdings Inc., the world's largest car rental provider, is making a strategic investment in Unidas and amending its Master Franchise Agreement with the Brazilian car rental operator and fleet management company.

Unidas and Enterprise Holdings – which owns the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands – became franchise partners in 2012. For the past four years, Unidas has been operating National and Alamo locations in airport and city locations throughout Brazil.

Once the transaction is completed later this year, Enterprise Holdings will hold a 20 percent stake in Unidas and have a seat on the company's board of directors. The transaction also extends Unidas' Master Franchise Agreement until 2031. In addition, Enterprise Holdings' entire portfolio of car rental brands will be offered throughout Brazil, including its flagship Enterprise Rent-A-Car brand.

"Both companies quickly learned that our fundamental values and strategic priorities are closely aligned, which makes our partnership that much more successful and meaningful," said Peter A. Smith, vice president of global franchising at Enterprise Holdings. "We look forward to growing all three of our car rental brands throughout Brazil for many years to come."

Global Expansion and Leadership

This past spring, Smith was a keynote speaker at the 2016 International Car Rental Show where he highlighted the company's rapid international expansion. A few months later, Enterprise Holdings hosted representatives for a global summit, where franchise partners came together to share best practices and learn more about the Enterprise way.

Today, the Enterprise, National and Alamo brands operate in more than 85 countries, including 29 in Latin America. In fact, Enterprise Holdings' global expansion has helped position it near the top of the global travel industry overall, with the company's annual revenues exceeding those generated by many airlines and most cruise lines, hotels, tour operators and online travel agencies.

The expanded relationship with Unidas will help both companies meet the needs of a growing number of corporate and leisure customers in Brazil. Unidas has experienced recent growth in sales and market share, in spite of a challenging economic climate. For the past two years, Unidas has been named as one of the top 30 employers in Brazil by Great Place to Work Organization and Época, reaching the position 13^th in 2016.

Enterprise Holdings Expanding Portfolio of Car Rental Brands in Brazil

Unidas' focus on outstanding service includes its Indice de Serviço Excelente Unidas (ISEU), a system of closely tracking customer satisfaction. Similarly, Enterprise Holdings uses the power of its renowned Service Quality index (SQi) measurement program to track excellence in customer service. Each month, hundreds of thousands of customers rate the service they have received, and each location earns a score based on the percentage of customers who say they are "completely satisfied" with their last rental experience. The widespread use of SQi allows countries in Enterprise Holding's integrated network to benchmark their service against a companywide, global standard.

"Our comprehensive partnership covers business development, knowledge transfer and strategic planning, while enabling us to leverage the strength of Enterprise Holdings' brands together with Unidas," said Pedro de Almeida, Chief Executive Officer at Unidas. "We are proud and very happy that Enterprise is collaborating with us and investing in our future growth."

Unidas currently operates a total fleet of approximately 46,000 vehicles for both their rental and fleet management businesses, and serves both leisure and business customers from 215 locations across Brazil. That includes a corporate network of 94 branches in 48 cities, and a franchising network with 121 locations across 101 cities throughout the country.
