REZIDOR SAS has committed to the Russian hotel market with plans to open 50 mid-range properties over the next eight to ten years. In conjunction with investors from Denmark, Sweden, Russia and the USA, Rezidor will initially target the primary cities of Moscow and St Petersburg and other key regional capitals. The more immediate aim is to sign up a minimum of eight hotels over the next three years. Country Inn is the mid-market alternative for business and leisure travellers with 325 hotels across the US and Europe. There are presently five full service upscale Radisson SAS hotels in Russia. http://www.rezidorsas.com
