Chavana Spa forays into India with Four Points by Sheraton property Navi Mumbai
| Guest post by: Dhawal Shah |
Article Overview: 19th February 2010: Thailand-based Mandara Spa Asia Limited (MSAL) has forayed into the Indian market by launching its spa brand Chavana Spa through Four Points by Sheraton, Navi Mumbai. In October 2009, MSAL had launched the spa brand to cater to the mid-market and four-star hotel segment. The facility in Navi Mumbai marks the first establishment of an international spa brand in Asia. MSAL has entered into a franchise-management under a revenue sharing model agreement for the spa facility in the hotel. The hotel’s spa facility will offer Balinese therapies with traditional Balinese massages along with Indian head massages, Asian foot massages, purity facials and head and foot massages. The hotel has four treatment rooms and treatment costs range from Rs 1,400 to Rs 6,500.

About 85 per cent of the hotel’s in-house guests are inbound travellers who are likely to be the prime clientele for the spa facility. Besides its in-house guests, the hotel plans to direct its marketing efforts to the local market for this facility. It will focus on advertising and developing collaterals to educate and inform the local market about the offering.
“We find a huge potential in the local clientele to use this facility. Navi Mumbai, as a market, has a huge segment of aspiring clients who will definitely be our target market. This is the first international spa in Navi Mumbai and we realise that it is the need of the market. I personally feel that it is the right brand for our hotel segment. We did not want to associate ourselves with a high-end brand like Mandara Spa as it would not fit in the positioning of the hotel.

The Chavana Spa brand and its offerings match our requirements,” said Sumit Kant, General Manager, Four Points by Sheraton, Navi Mumbai. He expects that with the addition of this facility, the hotel’s room sales will be leveraged as well.

Anyway- Now, In the state of Texas you cannot use your primary residence for collateral (It's a state law). If you own other property, like investment/ rental property or even vacant land, it's better to use that property rather than a primary residence for collateral. [/quote:3u3uqyzg]
Sad that the government has to say not to risk your home, but I hope that helps people avoid a costly mistake and especially people with a family who needs a roof over their head.

How Well Protected Are The Patent Holders?
- Intellectual property laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. And it is such that the acquisition, registration or enforcement of the rights must be pursued or obtained separately in each territory of interest. Intellectual property in law is a general term for various legal entitlements. The holder of this legal entitlement is generally entitled to exercise various exclusive rights.
Intellectual property laws are designed to protect different forms of subject matter, in this case a Patent. A patent may be granted for a new, useful, and non-obvious invention, and gives the patent holder an exclusive right to commercially exploit the invention for a certain period of time, typically 20 years from the filing date of a patent application. Patents, trademarks, and designs rights are sometimes collectively known as industrial property, as they are typically created and used for industrial or commercial purposes.
Various schools of thought are critical of the term “intellectual property”. Some characterise it as intellectual protectionism. From the perspective of economics, intellectual property is a temporary monopoly on the use or exploitation of that Patent, supported by legal enforcement mechanisms.
There is a debate going on every where that intellectual property laws truly operate to confer the stated public benefits, and whether the protection they are said to provide is appropriate in the context of innovation derived from such things as traditional knowledge and folklore, and patents for software and business methods. Manifestations of this controversy can be seen in the way different jurisdictions decide whether to grant intellectual property protection in relation to subject matter of this kind, and the divide on issues of the role and scope of intellectual property laws.
Most exclusive rights are the right to sue an infringer, which has the effect that people will approach the patent holder for permission to perform the acts to which the patent holder has exclusive right
Website value via Cap-Rate
- Evan, no I haven't seen it used for websites as it struck me as a way of determining value when I look at Rental properties. I'm sure if you look at the basics of the formula you can figure the numbers you'll need to extract from your Web metrics.
I know in the rental market you want to look for a property that has a Cap rate of 10%. In the Toronto market you'll be lucky to get 7%. It's a quick way for an investor to determine if a property is a good buy at first glance and then go deep into the numbers reported.
short answer: no I haven't seen it being used to determine website value.
