FDC International Hotels Corp (雲品國際) on Tuesday reported that revenue last month increased 8.75 percent from a year earlier on the back of a boom in domestic tourism.
Consolidated revenue was NT$218.93 million (US$7.59 million), up from NT$150.39 million in September, a company regulatory filing showed.
A boom in domestic tourism accounted for the strong showing, with help from the Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ten National Day holidays, the New Taipei City-based company said.
Occupancy at its Fleur de Chine Hotel (雲品溫泉酒店) overlooking Nantou County’s Sun Moon Lake (日月潭) remained above 90 percent for the third straight month last month and is likely to recover to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels for the whole of this year, it said.
The Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant Le Palais (頤宮) and buffet restaurant La Rotisserie (雲軒) at its Palais de Chine Hotel (君品酒店) in Taipei remained healthy revenue drivers, FDC said.
Separately, Formosa International Hotels (晶華國際酒店集團), which runs the Regent Taipei (台北晶華酒店), the Silks Place (晶英酒店) and Just Sleep Hotel & Resort (捷絲旅), reported NT$502.36 million in revenue for last month, down 2.15 percent from a year earlier.
It has sought to reverse the downturn by collaborating with Gaia Hotel (大地酒店) in Taipei’s Beitou District (北投) and introducing other packages to motivate customers, Formosa International said.
Meanwhile, My Humble House Hospitality Management Consulting Co (寒舍餐旅) reported third-quarter net losses of NT$30 million, or losses of NT$0.27 per share, compared with a net loss of NT$77 million in the second quarter, or losses of NT$0.7 per share, as the negative impact of the pandemic tapered off.
Business might improve further this quarter after the company sold NT$150 million of hotel and restaurant vouchers at the four-day Taipei International Travel Fair, which closed on Nov. 2, it said.
Intel Corp chief executive officer Lip-Bu Tan (陳立武) is expected to meet with Taiwanese suppliers next month in conjunction with the opening of the Computex Taipei trade show, supply chain sources said on Monday. The visit, the first for Tan to Taiwan since assuming his new post last month, would be aimed at enhancing Intel’s ties with suppliers in Taiwan as he attempts to help turn around the struggling US chipmaker, the sources said. Tan is to hold a banquet to celebrate Intel’s 40-year presence in Taiwan before Computex opens on May 20 and invite dozens of Taiwanese suppliers to exchange views
Application-specific integrated circuit designer Faraday Technology Corp (智原) yesterday said that although revenue this quarter would decline 30 percent from last quarter, it retained its full-year forecast of revenue growth of 100 percent. The company attributed the quarterly drop to a slowdown in customers’ production of chips using Faraday’s advanced packaging technology. The company is still confident about its revenue growth this year, given its strong “design-win” — or the projects it won to help customers design their chips, Faraday president Steve Wang (王國雍) told an online earnings conference. “The design-win this year is better than we expected. We believe we will win
Quanta Computer Inc (廣達) chairman Barry Lam (林百里) is expected to share his views about the artificial intelligence (AI) industry’s prospects during his speech at the company’s 37th anniversary ceremony, as AI servers have become a new growth engine for the equipment manufacturing service provider. Lam’s speech is much anticipated, as Quanta has risen as one of the world’s major AI server suppliers. The company reported a 30 percent year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue to NT$1.41 trillion (US$43.35 billion) last year, thanks to fast-growing demand for servers, especially those with AI capabilities. The company told investors in November last year that
