In August 2009, RHI acquired a new hotel management contract to manage a five-star luxury hotel being developed by a leading maker of down apparel — Bosideng Holdings. Located in Dezhou, Shandong, Regal Kangbo Hotel will be the first five-star international hotel in Dezhou and is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2010.
