Key components of the company's hospitality segment performance in the second quarter of 2005 include:

--Gaylord Hotels Total RevPAR(4) increased 15.1 percent to $266.08, compared to second quarter 2004; revenue per available room(1) ("RevPAR") increased 9.5 percent to $115.30, compared to the prior-year quarter.

"Total RevPAR growth outpaced RevPAR growth for the fifth consecutive quarter, demonstrating the strength of our hospitality strategy," said Reed. "Additionally in the second quarter, average daily rate ("ADR ADR - Astra Digital Radio ") gains outpaced occupancy gains in driving RevPAR growth for the network overall.

Going forward, we will continue to execute our proven strategy to drive both inside and outside the room revenue through our superior entertainment and dining offerings."

At the property level, Gaylord Palms posted a strong performance this quarter in CCF growth driven by a significant increase in ADR. ADR was up 6.5 percent to $173.26 compared to $162.61 in the prior-year quarter. Occupancy was slightly down to 76.5 percent compared to 77.3 percent a year ago.

These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include the risks and uncertainties associated with economic conditions affecting the hospitality business generally, the timing of the opening of new facilities, costs associated with developing new hotel facilities, business levels at the company's hotels, risks associated with ResortQuest's business and the company's ability to successfully integrate and achieve operating efficiencies at ResortQuest, and the ability to obtain financing for new developments. The company's ability to achieve forecasted results for its ResortQuest business depends upon levels of occupancy at ResortQuest units under management and returning damaged units to service on a timely basis. In the hospitality segment, the company's ability to continue to improve occupancy levels and operating efficiencies at its new Gaylord Texan Resort will be an important factor in 2005. Other factors that could cause operating and financial results to differ are described in the filings made from time to time by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
