Solare Hotels & Resorts currently operates 41 hotels (approx. 8,400 rooms) in Japan, including Chisun brand hotels and various other hotels under its �Solare Collection� umbrella brand. Okinawa Royal View Hotel is the fourth resort in Okinawa to be operated by Solare. Solare took over the Chisun Resort Ishigaki (formerly Ishigaki Grand Hotel) on August 31, 2005, Loisir Hotel Okinawa (419 rooms) on September 27, 2005 and effective March 29, 2006, Kariyushi SHR Operations, (a joint venture between Solare Hotels and Resorts and Kariyushi Co., Ltd), assumed the management of the luxury upscale 361 rooms Okinawa Marriott Resort & Spa.

In order to further expand its growing Okinawa market share, Solare is pressing ahead with major upgrades of the Loisir Hotel and the Chisun Resort Ishigaki. It also has plans to build a new limited service Chisun hotel in Okinawa in 2007, as well as add an upscale Tower & Spa extension to its highly successful Loisir Hotel in Naha. �With almost 6 million visitors annually, Okinawa is considered one of the most popular resort areas in Japan. Solare is confident we now have the infrastructure and resources in place in Okinawa to grow our leisure market share and further diversify growth into the corporate travel segment and other growth FIT segments. �, says Tony Virili, CEO of Solare Hotels & Resorts.
