Transcript | Acquisitions also are playing a critical role in our international hotel strategy. We recently purchased highly regarded hotels in London and Paris. We plan to continue making selective acquisitions in closely related businesses where real economic value can be created for Marriott shareholders. Developing new hospitality or service-related businesses. Our internal business development efforts produced Courtyard, which will be a major contributor to Marriott's growth. In 1984, we decided to develop and manage three hfecare retirement communities. The first will open in 1987. We believe the market for this type of retirement facility is significant, growing rapidlyand not now being adequately served. FINANCING MARRIOTT'S GROWTH Hotel management agreements. Marriott remains a leader in creating innova- tive ways to finance hotel development. We develop and sell hotels, while maintain- ing long-term management agreements, typically 75 years in length. Today, nearly 85% of Marriott-operated hotel rooms are owned by others. This technique allows us to reduce capital commitments and generate high returns for our shareholders. During the past five years, nearly $3 billion of hotels have been financed under hotel management agreements, thus largely eliminating Marriott's financial commitment. In 1984, Marriott sold and financed nearly $1 billion of hotels in the following manner: □ Sold nine hotels to Chesapeake Hotel Limited Partnership, which was organized by Marriott. The limited partnership interests were syndicated to the public. □ Sold limited partnership interests in a hotel through the agency sales force of a major insurance company—a new approach that will be expanded in the future. □ Sold three hotels to major corporations which wanted to diversify their investment portfolios. □ Financed five hotels presendy under development which will be sold to investors upon completion.
