Objectively, the reporting on the property has been that occupancy has been very low this year. The existing brand leveraged the, uh, passionate loyalty of one customer segment, shall we say, whereas the WA is more likely to cut across a broad swath of traditional customer groups. I would imagine it will be very popular with business travelers of all stripes, as well as well heeled tourists, including international visitors.
