Why Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt Don’t Actually Own Most of Their Hotels? In the hospitality industry, brands like Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt are synonymous with luxury and reliability. Surprisingly, these giants own less than 1% of their properties. Instead, they leverage a franchise model, licensing their brand names to third-party owners who manage the hotels. This strategy allows for rapid global expansion without the financial burden of property ownership. Key insights include: - Franchise Model: Enables brand growth without significant capital investment. - Pricing Strategy: Franchisees control room rates, balancing local market demands with brand reputation. - Loyalty Programs: Drive repeat business and higher occupancy rates, benefiting both franchisors and franchisees. - Strategic Partnerships: smaller hotel owners gain credibility and visibility by partnering with major brands. Understanding this model reveals the strategic brilliance of these companies and underscores the importance of branding and partnerships in today's competitive market. The franchise approach is a compelling case study in balancing growth with sustainability, offering valuable lessons for current Business students. https://lnkd.in/e9vX-_3S #HotelIndustry #Hospitality #FranchiseModel #Marriott #Hilton #Hyatt #BrandStrategy #BusinessModel #TravelIndustry #LoyaltyPrograms #HotelManagement

?? Hoteliers, here's a hospitality lesson from the Canadian Grand Prix: to deliver a truly elite experience, you need to meet needs beyond just your hotel (or event, in this case). Consider... ...the F1 circuit was built on an island east of Montreal. ...without transportation, it's 3hrs round trip to walk to the island. ...350,000 people attend over the weekend. ...those buildings in the photo background are where fans can stay. Now, the biggest consideration for your guests is not your amazing event or property, but local infrastructure! Most fans invested between ?? 3 and 6 ?? hours in getting to and from the island, which was brutal. (Behind the scenes: this clear underinvestment in infrastructure likely stems from the original negotiations between local government and the FIA.) Let's apply this to hotels & their guests. 1?? Before they arrive, flight/train/car infrastructure is the biggest travel factor. 2?? When they arrive, room availability massively influences their day. 3?? During their stay, local transportation limits/expands their possible activity. 4?? At the end of their stay, their travel stress affects the last impression. Now what if we tailored services to those needs? ?? Private/public shuttle rate plans or add-ons. ? Early check-in or pre check-in spaces. ?? Welcome packs to hydrate/refresh as add-ons or VIP gifts. ?? Access to bike/scooter stations or shared local electric shuttle. ?? Virtual concierge services, especially over text. Bam. Empathy-driven upsells. #hospitalitytech #upsells #transportation #f1

In a U.S. market where supply continues to increase only gradually, Hilton Worldwide's brands solidly topped the extended-stay portion of BTN's annual Hotel Survey, besting its nearest competitor by more than a tenth of a point on an ascending one-to-six scale.

Unlocking the Secrets Behind Marriott's Global Success ?? I recently stayed at a Marriott property for company training and discovered something intriguing: the property is owned by Vatika Group but operates as Westin (sub-brand of Marriot Bonvoy group). This piqued my curiosity, so I delved deeper into how Marriot does business and uncovered some fascinating insights. ?? Did you know that most global hotel conglomerates operate on an ALBM (Asset Light Business Model)? This means they leverage their brand name for commissions, often avoiding capital and operational expenditures. Essentially, the property owners and developers shoulder the full risk and reward. But why do hotel chains do this? ?? The primary reason is growth and expansion. Imagine trying to own real estate for ~9,000 hotels worldwide! It would mean massive debt and long waiting periods to break even. By adopting an ALBM model, Marriott Bonvoy can focus on what they do best: crafting exceptional customer experiences and loyalty programs, while expanding globally. ?? Another advantage of ALBMs is their resilience during economic downturns. They have a higher likelihood of rapid recovery, making ALBM a smarter choice for global companies. ?? During my research I also noticed that hospitality giants boast several sub-brands. Marriott has 33 brands, including Westin, Fairfield, JW Marriott, and St. Regis. Hyatt has 29 brands, and the list goes on. Why is this important? 1?? ??Customer Segmentation: By offering hotels under three major sections (Luxury, Premium, Select), Marriott Bonvoy caters to all strata of society, curating unique experiences for each segment. 2?? ??The Illusion of Choice: Many people don't realize that when they're making hotel bookings, multiple competing hotel brands actually belong to the same parent company. This approach is also followed by Estee Lauder in their beauty portfolio. This way, Marriott Bonvoy provides the illusion of choice, ensuring it captures a broader market share. #HospitalityIndustry #AssetLightModel #MarriottBonvoy #CustomerExperience #HotelManagement #BusinessStrategy #TravelInsights

Two-thirds of U.S. hotels carry the name of a major brand. But companies like Marriott Hotels, Hilton and Hyatt Hotels Corporation don’t own or even run most of the properties. They have adopted a business model that focuses on managing and franchising hotels rather than owning them. This approach allows for rapid expansion and reduced risk. Here’s what’s behind that strategy and what it means for consumers. #HotelIndustry?#HospitalityInvestment
