Aligning with the trends in market development, we launched the exquisite lifestyle brand, Atwell Suites, which not only enriches our brand portfolio in Greater China but also offers guests and investors more diverse options. This move further confirms our focus on the Greater China market. We hope that Atwell Suites will become a new growth engine for the group in China, further contributing to the high-quality development of the cultural tourism market."
