amount
of service and entertainment options to their hotel guests.
“It is very exciting to join a company that
is introducing
such an array of new services and products for the hotel industry,”

and platforms with new technology and devices that the hotel guest is
bringing
with them. I believe these services will greatly change the landscape
of our
industry, and I am looking forward to being a part of the introduction
to the
market.”
