上海/巴黎–2014年11月12日 –錦江國際集團和美國喜達屋資本集團今日聯(lián)合公布，雙方已就喜達屋資本出售盧浮集團和全資子公司盧浮酒店集團100%股權(quán)簽署相關(guān)協(xié)議。出售金額尚未公布。交易建議必須經(jīng)過盧浮酒店集團的工人中央委員會信息咨詢程序。

　　作為中國最大的綜合性旅游集團之一，錦江國際集團以酒店投資管理、旅游和客運物流為主業(yè)，在11個國家擁有和經(jīng)營1700多家1-5星酒店(25萬間客房)以及多家國際旅行社。盧浮酒店集團是歐洲第二大的酒店集團，在40多個國家擁有1100多家酒店(超過9萬間客房)。

　　2011年11月，盧浮酒店集團和錦江國際集團建立了業(yè)務(wù)合作關(guān)系，在中法兩國主要城市推出錦江和盧浮的復(fù)合品牌酒店，從而加速盧浮酒店集團在中國的擴張，推動中法之間的酒店和旅游業(yè)發(fā)展。前期良好的合作也為此次交易奠定了堅實的基礎(chǔ)。

　　喜達屋將透過其關(guān)聯(lián)方Star SDL Investment Co.來完成此項建議交易，預(yù)計交易將在2015年第一季度完成。盧浮酒店集團的工人中央委員會將立即就此項交易協(xié)議展開信息咨詢程序。

　　喜達屋資本集團首席執(zhí)行官Barry Sternlicht表示：“作為盧浮酒店集團與錦江國際集團結(jié)合，這項協(xié)議讓盧浮酒店集團旗下所有酒店品牌繼續(xù)擁有廣闊的發(fā)展前景，同時也為盧浮酒店集團與喜達屋的成功攜手畫上圓滿的句號。我們與錦江共同期待，以上每一個品牌可以進一步增強實力，把握中國市場乃至亞洲市場的強勁增長潛力。”

　　錦江國際集團董事長俞敏亮表示：“作為戰(zhàn)略投資者，我們很高興在過去多年密切合作的基礎(chǔ)上與喜達屋資本集團就此交易計劃達成共識。錦江和盧浮在品牌、地域和客源等方面互補性強。我們期待著和盧浮酒店集團旗下的管理團隊、員工及各方攜手合作，為雙方未來的全球發(fā)展和布局創(chuàng)造更大的空間。”
