Home Inns is the Howard Johnson of China and they gave an interesting view of Chinese spending patterns.

“We didn’t see a very significant impact by
the economy, global economy or the slow-down of the Chinese economy…For the first months of the fourth quarter, we are still seeing
the same trend the third quarter.”

“Four
to five star hotels occupancy and revenue have gone down since August.
I think mainly it’s caused by a global economy… and also the very
strict Olympics visa issue… I think in 2009 the high-end; like four,
five-star hotels will be impacted by the high-end customer reductions.
But budget hotels… still haven’t seen any… significant change in the
market.” 

In the U.S., we might refer to this as the Wal-Mart trade but what it means is that the high end is suffering while budget brands are thriving.
