With the start of a new year, this is a time for both renewal and rebirth.
 On behalf of the board of Jinling Holdings Limited, I would like to extend best wishes to our staff, leaders and friends in all circles! Thank you for your long-term encouragment and support! May peace, happiness and good fortune be with all of you, treasured companions in the coming year!

We look back with great confidence and courage. During the past year, we endured the challenges of a global economic crisis; we strengthened our advantages in hotel management while continuing to seek opportunities for development; Jinling Hotel Expansion Program continues to build steadily, "Jinling & Tianquanhu" central business district has been fully launched…We encountered difficulties but nothing could stop our progress. We keep pace with the times by continually elevating our management skills while integrating resources. The prospects for ongoing business are promising!

Our development is unceasing, based on humanistic and material foundations we have accumulated in the past; we have shaped our strategy for further transformation from a tourism enterprise into a diversified enterprise. Our historic development brought glories as well as reflection.  Now, our future depends on our faith for constructing a powerful, dynamic tourism enterprise by taking the lead in every aspect. We are participants and executives.

The upcoming 2010 is full of hope for "Jinling" where a new journey beckons to us as, we wave farewell to the economic crisis.  It will be our task to propel business onwards by upgrading operating procedures in order to ensure sustainable growth. Jinling's national brand name will continue to shine more brightly with time!
