, September 20, 2011 /ChinaNewswire.com - Xinwengao.com/ - Hilton Huanying offered at 50 hotels in 12 countries

Beijing, China (September 20, 2011) /ChinaNewswire.com/ — – Hilton Hotels & Resorts hosted a national launch event for Hilton Huanying on September 7, 2011 – its tailored experience for all travelers of Chinese origin. The Hilton Worldwide program inspired by the Chinese word for "welcome" enables travelers to book participating hotels with confidence, knowing the properties will meet cultural needs and expectations of Chinese travelers abroad. Fifty hotels in twelve countries representing top destinations for Chinese travelers currently offer the program.

In developing Hilton Huanying, Hilton pairs its expertise as the global leader of hospitality and more than two decades of experience in China with research; feedback from Chinese guests, travel agents and tour operators; and a beta test in the United Kingdom, United States and Korea. Hilton leaders are touring Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou this week as part of a sustained campaign to educate Chinese consumers and tour operators about the new Hilton offering.

"Hilton Huanying is an extension of our brand promise to ensure every guest feels cared for, valued and respected," said Dave Horton, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts. "This is an incredibly exciting time for our brand as we grow our presence within China and welcome the growing number of outbound Chinese travelers exploring key destinations around the world."

Considered widely as one of the world's fastest-growing economies and leading hospitality markets, China will achieve 83 million outbound departures with an average annual growth rate of 9% according to the statistics from China National Tourism Administration.

"As the association of tourist hotels in China, we have paid close attention to the initiatives and development of the international hotel groups targeting Chinese travellers, and I'm pleased to notice that Hilton continues its innovative approach to products, amenities and service to meet the unique needs of Chinese travellers," said Mr. Zhang Rungang, Chairman of China Tourist Hotel Association. "Hilton Huanying, based on a deep understanding of Chinese culture and lifestyle, provides thoughtful amenities and dedicated services for Chinese tourists during their stay overseas. It’s the real tailor-made 'welcome' red carpet rolling out for Chinese travelers outside of China."

Hilton Huanying extends authentic experiences with amenities, service standards and dedicated Hilton team member training in destinations popular among Chinese visitors including San Francisco, New York City, Hawaii and Vancouver in North America along with London, Tokyo and Sydney. Chinese travelers will find familiar comforts in three key touch points of the on-property experience – arrival, guest room and breakfast at Hilton. Elements of the Hilton Huanying experience include a front desk team member fluent in Mandarin; guest room amenities such as a selection of Chinese teas and teakettles, slippers, and a dedicated television channel with Chinese programmes; and breakfast items including congee, dim sum, fried rice and noodles.
