Article Abstract:
Radisson SAS Hotels Pres. Kurt Ritter says the chain has been growing rapidly since 1994 when Swedish hotel chain SAS and US Hoteliers Radisson signed a marketing agreement. During 1995 it opened a hotel on average every 11 days and now aims to have a total of 100 hotels by 1998. Ritter feels that growth will be achieved by taking over independent hotels with Eastern Europe as a particular target. A new $62 million hotel is also planned for Manchester, England.
