(HOT). The company, which swung to a profit in the fourth quarter, said the Middle East and Africa were the only regions that haven't fully recovered from one of the worst brutal downturns in the hotel industry. "The political turmoil in North Africa, especially Egypt, is of course hurting our business," said Vasant Prabhu, vice chairman and chief financial officer of the hotelier during a post-earnings conference call Thursday. He noted Starwood has 16 hotels across North Africa that generated between $10 million to $12 million in fees last year. starwood hotels resorts worldwide inc, starwood hotels resorts worldwide, starwood hotels resorts, political turmoil, earnings conference, starwood hotels, violence in the middle east, hotel industry, hotelier, north africa, global markets, vice chairman, chief finan wsj.com | This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read our FAQ page at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php |
