Sales and Marketing of Hotel Rooms
 
We use the marketing/reservation fees that our franchisees pay to us to promote our brands through media advertising, direct marketing, direct sales, promotions and publicity. A portion of the funds contributed by the franchisees of any one particular brand is used to promote that brand, whereas the remainder of the funds is allocated to support the cost of multibrand promotional efforts and to our marketing and global sales team, which includes, among others, our worldwide sales, public relations and direct marketing teams.
 
In 2007, the efforts of our global sales team contributed approximately 12% of the annual hotel room nights sold at our franchised and managed hotels. To supplement the global sales team’s efforts, our public relations team extends the reach and frequency of our paid advertising by generating extensive, unpaid exposure for our brands in trade and consumer media including USA TODAY, The New York Times, Lodging Hospitality, Hotel/Motel Management and other widely-read publications.
 
In addition to the traditional sales efforts, we plan to develop and market mixed-use hotel and vacation ownership properties in conjunction with Wyndham’s vacation ownership business. The mixed-use properties would generate room revenues at the managed hotel and increased spending at the hotel restaurants and facilities by visiting timeshare guests.
