Marriott to open 1,700 new hotels
Marriott plans to open more than 1,700 new hotels in the next three years. That translates into 275,000 to 295,000 new rooms, generating an estimated $400 million in fee revenue in 2021. The hotel chain already manages 1.2 million hotel rooms, with a pipeline of 478,000. CEO Arne Sorenson is counting on an expanding global class of young, middle-income people who value travel as a reason for the push.

I travel extensively and there is no lack of places to stay. I go to on average 15 countries a year plus domestic travels. I’ve found Airbnb to give me the best options. I’m not sure we need to pave over more of the earth to build additional hotels.
