TOKYO -- Japanese hotel operator Hoshino Resorts is planning to bring its traditional inns, or ryokan, to the U.S., to offer customers there a unique cultural experience, said CEO Yoshiharu Hoshino at the Nikkei Global Management Forum in Tokyo on Nov. 6.
"The U.S. is critical for us to operate globally," said Hoshino, seeking to "make investors understand that we can provide higher profitability than Hyatt, Marriott and Hilton chains."
