Yes, but these are all quotes from Press Releases which bear little resemblance to reality. Given that Scott Woroch remains EVP of Worldwide development it is unlikely that we will start to see lots of little 'Tented Camp' clones across the world. It is much more likely that we will see large business hotels and corporate-geared resorts going up, which will on the whole not attract the right level of GM and also alienate existing FS GMs.
I do not mean to be pessimistic as I love Four Seasons, but listening to numerous members of ex-Four Seasons staff this year, I am finding it increasingly hard to be optimistic.
