Hong Kong � June 2000... Mr. Bernd Chorengel,
president of Hyatt International Corporation, announced on June 23 at the
company�s General Managers� Meeting held in Shanghai, People�s Republic
of China, two recipients for the �General Manager of the Year 1999� award.
Since Hyatt International has grown extensively, with a total of 77 hotels
currently in operation, the company feels it is more appropriate to select
two General Managers for the award - one from Asia Pacific and another
from Europe, Middle East, Africa and Latin America - in view of the different
market conditions and other factors that influence the operation of hotels
in these areas.
