Unpacking Marriott’s Success: The Power of Franchising in the Hotel Industry Did you know that Marriott International, a leading global hotel chain, primarily operates through a franchising model? 🚀 While Marriott’s name is synonymous with hospitality excellence, the company itself doesn’t own the majority of the hotels bearing its brand. Instead, Marriott licenses its brand name, operating systems, and loyalty programs to independent owners. This innovative business model allows Marriott to focus on maintaining brand standards and expanding its reach without the heavy capital investment required to own real estate. Here’s why this model is so powerful: 🔹 Scalability: By partnering with independent owners, Marriott can rapidly expand its footprint across the globe. 🔹 Brand Consistency: Through strict franchising agreements, Marriott ensures that guests experience the same high standards at any Marriott-branded hotel. 🔹 Loyalty Programs: Independent owners benefit from Marriott’s extensive loyalty programs, driving customer retention and repeat business. 🔹 Revenue Generation: This model has proven highly profitable, bringing in a remarkable $23.71 billion in revenue in 2023. Marriott’s success story is a testament to the potential of franchising in the hospitality industry. It’s not just about owning properties; it’s about leveraging a strong brand and strategic partnerships to drive growth and profitability.

Franchise management in hospitality involves overseeing operations within a franchised hotel, restaurant, or service brand. The franchisor grants a license to franchisees to operate under its established name, providing guidelines, marketing, and support. The franchisee must adhere to brand standards, ensuring consistency in service, design, and customer experience across locations. Effective franchise management ensures that franchisees maintain quality, meet legal obligations, and optimize profitability. Key areas include training, performance monitoring, and conflict resolution. Franchise managers must balance control with franchisee autonomy, fostering strong relationships to maintain brand reputation. This model allows rapid expansion, leveraging local knowledge while benefiting from a proven business model, making it a cornerstone of growth in the competitive hospitality industry. #hospitality #franchise #expansion

NEW PANEL ALERT! Excited to announce that I’ll be moderating a panel at the Extended Stay Hotel Forum in Dallas at the JW Marriott Dallas Arts District on November 13th! Join us from 11:35 AM – 12:20 PM for an insightful discussion on "Defining the Different Extended Stay Brands, Chain Scales, and Brand Strategies." As the “big brands” are launching more and more products in the extended stay space, ranging from economy to luxury and ground-up builds to conversions of aging properties, how are the brands approaching each of these brands differently, clearly distinguishing each one from the other and creating a distinct identity for each with its own unique brand strategy? As new purpose-built and conversion brands have proliferated, creating a wide diversity of options with the extended stay segment, is it time for more clearly defined categories of “budget” extended stay, “premium economy” extended stay, etc.? How will the brands — particularly those that are introducing new extended-stay chain scales into their portfolios — adapt to suit these products? I’m thrilled to be joined by a group of industry leaders for this conversation: — Eric Myers, VP of franchise development, My Place Hotels of America Hotels. — Andrew Anderson, chief Acquisitions officer, Sandpiper Hospitality. — Matt McElhare, VP of extended stay, Choice Hotels International Hotels. — Paul Novak, partner, Whitman Pearson. — Mark Williams, managing director of franchise development, Extended Stay America. Looking forward to an engaging session on the future of extended-stay brands!

Let Rentyl Resorts help your resort “Win From Within”. Great article featuring our CEO Nick Falcone and Rentyl Resorts. “The goofy analogy I utilize is to imagine if Marriott and Airbnb had a baby, it would be Rentyl Resorts.” Nick Falcone. Imagine coming to a spacious home that is part of a resort and provides guests with amenities, professional service, brand standards & curated experiences. This amazing combination provides a more trusted, experiential, and easy-to-find vacation home experience for travel consumers. What’s just as intriguing is the business model this creates for developers. We help developers actively sell the resort home inventory and then homeowners put the homes back into the resort program. This allows developers to sell out resort home communities and make higher than normal returns on the sell-out while maintaining a hotel revenue stream on the backend. Let’s get a call scheduled and see where we can help.
