X-Leisure's CEO, PY Gerbeau said "Our Group is proving to the property industry that our strategic approach, which includes the implementation of a programme of events and entertainment supported by marketing and promotions, increases both footfall and dwell time resulting in a higher spend per park and in turn an increase in rental value and capital values - the 'virtuous circle'". - ENDS - For further information: Capital & Regional: Martin Barber, Chief Executive Tel: 020 7932 8101 Polly Farrell - X-Leisure Tel: 020 7932 8074 Hmark Sarah Harrison Tel: 020 7420 7011 Hudson Sandler Michael Sandler / James Benjamin Tel: 020 7796 4133 Notes to Editor: About Capital & Regional plc Capital & Regional is the co-investing asset manager which specialises in town centre shopping centres, out of town retail parks, and urban entertainment complexes.
