Pulsating hotels permeate China

As the scheduled June opening of Shanghai Disney Resort nears, hospitality firms gird up their loins

Hotel companies in the Yangtze River Delta area have been planning years in advance to cash in on anticipated surge in visitors to the area in whose heart Shanghai Disney Resort will open in June.

Such plans took the shape of new hotels, renovation and expansion of properties, and conversion of existing rooms into affordable family suites. Now, as June nears, they can't wait for action to explode.
