For the Second Consecutive Year, Benchmark Hospitality is
Named to Inc. 500/5000 Fastest Growing Companies List


The Woodlands (Houston), Texas, October 2009 � Benchmark Hospitality International has announced that for the second consecutive year, Inc. Magazine has named the leading hospitality management company to the �Inc. 500/5000� list of fastest growing privately-owned companies in America.  The list represents the most comprehensive look at one of the most important segments of the US economy -- America�s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Inc. Magazine�s 2009 listing for fastest growing companies appeared in the print and online editions in August.  

"Considering the present worldwide economic conditions,� said Burt Cabañas, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark Hospitality International, �we are extremely pleased that through the efforts of everyone in our company, we have maintained our status on the Inc. 5000 list.�

Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan said, �Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 list is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate.�

Inc. Magazine approached Benchmark Hospitality International earlier in the year and invited the company to once again submit an application for consideration to be included on the prestigious Inc. 500/5000 list.  Benchmark subsequently learned of the company�s acceptance for the second consecutive year on the national �Inc. 500/5000 Fastest Growing Companies List.�

Since debuting in 1991 with 100 of the fastest-growing private US companies, then expanding the following year to the Inc. 500 and again in 2007 to the Inc. 5000, the list has served as evidence of the significant accomplishments of entrepreneurial companies.  As an Inc. 5000 honoree, Benchmark Hospitality International shares a prestigious position with some of the most successful companies in America.
