About Marriott International
Marriott International, Inc. is a global leader in the hospitality industry, operating a broad portfolio of hotels and related lodging facilities. The company serves a diverse range of clients, including business travelers, vacationers, and long-term stay guests. Marriott operates in the global market, with properties spanning across North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions.
Marriott's business model is based on a combination of owned, leased, managed, and franchised properties. This diversified approach allows the company to generate revenue through multiple streams. Primarily, Marriott makes money by charging guests for room stays, which includes a variety of pricing tiers from budget-friendly options to luxury accommodations. Additionally, the company earns income from food and beverage services, event hosting, and other hotel amenities.
A significant part of Marriott's revenue also comes from management and franchise fees. For managed properties, Marriott oversees the day-to-day operations and earns a fee based on the hotel's revenue. For franchised properties, independent owners operate the hotels under the Marriott brand, and Marriott collects a fee for the use of its brand name and reservation system.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Marriott has implemented enhanced cleaning and safety protocols through its Marriott Cleanliness Council. This initiative aims to provide a safe environment for guests and staff, adhering to guidelines from health authorities like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Marriott's commitment to safety and cleanliness, combined with its extensive global presence and diversified revenue streams, positions it as a resilient player in the hospitality industry.
