23. 5) OWNERSHIP AND AFFILIATION
Independent Hotels
Chain Hotels
Management contracts
Franchising
Referral groups
06/08/14 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
24. Independent Hotels
They have no relationship to other hotels regarding
policies, procedures, marketing, or financial
obligations. A typical example of an independent
property is a family-owned-and-operated hotel.
The unique advantage of an independent hotel is its
autonomy. An independent hotel, however, may not
enjoy broad advertising exposure or management
insight and consultancy of an affiliated property,
and is unable to take advantage of the volume
purchasing power of a chain hotel.
06/08/14 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
25. Chain Hotels
Chain ownership usually imposes certain minimum
standards, rules, policies, and procedures to restrict
affiliate activities. In general, the more centralized the
organization, the stronger the control over the
individual property.
A chain is usually classified as operating under a
management contract or as a franchise or referral
group.
06/08/14 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
26. Management contracts
Management companies are organizations that
operate properties owned by other entities.
Under this type of contract, the owner or developer
usually retains the financial and legal responsibility
for the property.
The Management Company usually operates the
hotel, pays its expenses and in turn, receives an
agreed-upon fee from the owner to developer.
06/08/14 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
27. Franchising
Franchising is simply a method of distribution
whereby one entity that has developed a particular
pattern or format for doing business-the franchisor-
grants to other entities-franchisees-the right to
conduct such a business provided the franchisee
follows the established pattern.
06/08/14 www.sumitmanwal.blogspot.com
28. Referral groups
Referral groups consist of independent hotels, which
have banded together for some common purpose.
While each property in a referral system is not an
exact replica of the others, there is sufficient
consistency in the quality of service to satisfy guest
expectations. Best Western Int. Hotel is an example of
a referral group.
