Thank you to David E. and HOTELS magazine for asking me to contribute to one of their latest articles on lodging and management companies choosing partnerships over M&A. Here is what I had to say about the highlights of these types of partnerships: "Consolidation endures in the lodging sector as hotel brand and/or management companies expand mass and distribution to remain competitive. There are many independent brands or smaller collections of brands that can scale by leveraging large brand family loyalty platforms."
