THE GROUP LOOKS FORWARD TO A BOUNTY OF NEW PROPERTIES AND NEW BEGINNINGS AROUND THE WORLD

PARIS, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Accor is kicking off the year with an encouraging development outlook and a full schedule of new hotel openings around the world. While 2020 was a year of unprecedented challenges – not the least of which were felt among the travel and hospitality sectors – Accor maintained a steady pace of development and continued to sign new projects, leading to a robust roster of new hotel openings throughout 2021.

«As we are all too familiar, 2020 had a profound impact on our day-to-day lives and the hospitality industry as a whole; even so, the early stages of a global rebound will be material and significant,» said Agnes Roquefort, Global Chief Development Officer. «Despite the delays and temporary closures we experienced due to the pandemic, we continued to experience sustained momentum across our development pipeline and are optimistic that the worldwide rollout of Covid-19 vaccines will lead to renewed trust in travel and a much greater sense of personal safety for the entire global population.»

Accor’s sound financial capacity, worldwide reach, and unrivalled portfolio of brands not only kept the company in a solid position to weather the challenges of 2020, but its development capabilities and organizational model allowed the Group to focus on providing support and service to its owners, developers and partners.

The lifestyle category is set to be one of Accor’s most vibrant segments over the coming years, with the number of lifestyle hotel openings expected to triple by 2023. Moreover, Accor’s lifestyle segment currently accounts for roughly five percent of the Group’s annual revenue, while representing 25% of the company’s development pipeline by value. The recently announced joint venture with Ennismore, expected to close in Q2 2021, will contribute to a richly diverse platform set to become even more exciting this year with uniquely stylish new properties opening their doors, including Mondrian Shoreditch London; JO&JOE Vienna Westbahnhof; SO/ Sotogrande Resort & Spa; SLS Dubai and 25hours Dubai.

Accor’s luxury segment will also make headlines in 2021 with the Banyan Tree Doha in Qatar and Raffles openings in Udaipur and Jeddah. Fairmont will see the much-anticipated opening of the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, along with Fairmont Windsor in England; Carton House, a Fairmont managed hotel in Dublin; Fairmont Ramla Riyadh; Fairmont Ambassador Seoul; and, Fairmont Tagazhout Bay in Morocco. Sofitel will bring French sophistication to several new destinations including Seoul, Hangzhou, and Adelaide.

Conversion opportunities also presented themselves in 2020 and will continue to be a growth driver in 2021 and beyond, as Accor has emerged as the partner of choice among independent hotel owners attracted to the company’s renowned flexibility and ease of transition, its unmatched spectrum of brands, and its welcoming culture that celebrates authenticity, diversity and entrepreneurialism.

Across the Group’s unrivalled brand portfolio, leading brands for conversion opportunities include The House of Originals (Luxury), MGallery (Upper Premium), Mövenpick (Premium), Grand Mercure (Premium), Mercure (Midscale), ibis Styles (Economy) and greet (Budget). Not surprisingly, these seven brands account for 43% of Accor’s opening pipeline over the next five years. For example, MGallery will welcome several new hotels in key gateway locations this year, including Orchard Hills Residences Singapore – MGallery, The Silveri Hong Kong – MGallery, and The Porter House Hotel – MGallery in Sydney, Australia.

All of the Group’s new properties are expected to open in full compliance with Accor’s ALLSAFE hygiene and cleanliness label. The ALLSAFE label was established by Accor in mid 2020 to give guests the assurance of a third-party verified standard of hotel cleanliness and hygienic requirements. These standards were developed with and vetted by Bureau Veritas, a leader in operational testing, inspections and certifications.

For more information, the attached «notable openings» overview provides a high-level glimpse into some of the new Accor properties that guests and travel enthusiasts can expect to enjoy around the world in 2021.

Lucky Gift Card launch is set to take the gift card market by storm

LONDON, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Wilmington Holdings PLC is excited to announce the launch of one of the most original gift cards ever seen, the Lucky Gift Card.

Uniquely, a Lucky Gift Card grants the owner free membership of a lottery pool forever. It’s like a share of the lottery for life. Once the gift card has been registered online, there’s nothing else to do. No buying tickets, picking numbers or checking results. The pool does it all.

<div id="prni_dvprnejpgfc08left"…

LONDON, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Wilmington Holdings PLC is excited to announce the launch of one of the most original gift cards ever seen, the Lucky Gift Card.

The pool enters the Crypto Millions Lotto twice a week, where it plays for prizes, including a jackpot that starts at $30 million and increases whenever it’s not won. Anyone who owns a Lucky Gift Card is part of that forever.

Buying and giving a Lucky Gift Card couldn’t be easier. It’s a simple three-step process that takes moments and it all happens at the Lucky Gift Cards website. It can be loaded with as little as $10.

Lucky Gift Cards are set to become the must-have gift. They’re endless fun. Think of the smile on the face of someone special who receives this extraordinary gift. A gift that really does keep on giving.

Winnings are paid in bitcoin, the world’s most exciting, widely used and best performing digital currency. And they’re freely available to withdraw, save or spend at any time.

Commenting on the launch, Head of Marketing, David Byrne, said, «We are really excited to be launching Lucky Gift Cards in time for the Asian community to gift them for Lunar New Year next month. We don’t think there is anything else like it on the market. After that we’ll extend them to other major holidays and gift-giving celebrations such as Diwali and Christmas.»

He added, «As well as being great fun, we believe Lucky Gift Cards have the potential to earn people a lot of money. If you had given someone a $100 Lucky Gift Card on Lunar New Year 2016, their winnings would be more than $4,000 today. We can’t think of anything similar that could have earned as much.»

About Lucky Gift Cards

Lucky Gift Cards is managed and operated by Wilmington Holdings PLC, a UK public limited company headquartered in London, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wilmington Operations Limited.
