Woody Wade, publisher of the Hotel Yearbook, said, "We are especially proud of our blossoming editorial relationship with Horwath HTL, whose experts this year have written valuable country reports exclusively for the Hotel Yearbook, describing the current situation and outlook for the hotel business in countries ranging from the USA, UK and China to South Africa, Brazil and the Maldives."

Robert Hecker, Chairman of Horwath HTL, said, "One of the advantages of being a global firm is that we are able to see the whole picture. Anybody who is doing business in more than one region of the world will know that market conditions are very different from country to country, let alone region to region. We hope that our expertise can benefit the industry as a whole, wherever they may be doing business, and we urge everyone who has an interest in the hotel industry to read this excellent publication."
