Christmas Card from Bill

If you didn't get one, then obviously you are not as good friends with Bill Marriot than I am.

Dear Bevan ,Happy holidays and thank you for being our guest and for your tremendous loyalty. It has been almost a year since I launched my blog, Marriott On The Move, and I have had the pleasure of hearing from many of you. It is gratifying to know you follow along with the news at Marriott and give us some great feedback on how we are doing.Indeed, Marriott has been on the move this year, opening hotels around the world from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Beijing, China. As you visit some of our 3,000 hotels, you'll see exciting new changes to our lobbies, the addition of cutting-edge technology in our guest rooms and public space, the elimination of trans fats in the food we serve, and some innovative steps to improve the environment.The holidays are a time to reconnect and enjoy the company of friends and family. On behalf of the entire family of Marriott associates across the globe, thank you and best wishes in the New Year. We look forward to seeing you on the road.



Warm Regards,J.W. Marriott, Jr.Chairman and CEOMarriott International, Inc.
