The hotel industry has seen rapid growth over the past decade, with acquisitions driving increased revenues and leading to unprecedented brand saturation. With over 17.5 million guestrooms across 187,000 hotels worldwide, the market now features over 1,200 brands, including major players like Wyndham Hotel Group and Marriott.

Organizations that successfully address these challenges will secure a competitive edge.
