Gambling on casinos and putting punters back into shape
Article Abstract:
Stakis is involved in hotels and has also moved into health and fitness. The company has invested in its casinos and aims to attract non-gamblers seeking entertainment. The company's stock price does not reflect the beneficial impact of this investment and the investment in health clubs, for which the market is growing rapidly. Meanwhile, the company is seeing a rise in occupancy rates for its hotels, and is investing in its London Metropole Hotel which should attract profit from a plan to make it the largest convention hotel in Europe.
