The Westin Tokyo is currently enjoying brisk sales and expects business to continue to thrive as consumers presently have a propensity to spend money on luxurious food and accommodations, the hotel's general manager said recently.
"I believe consumers are showing a more positive attitude toward spending money as they want satisfying experiences, rather than giving into depressing news all the time," Dietmar Kielnhofer said.
The relatively weak yen and Tokyo's successful bid to host the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics also helped brighten consumer sentiment, prompting The Westin Hotel to have a fantastic year in 2013, he said.
