E&V – Management Representation Companies

We’re meeting with more and more representation companies…
Many hotels are franchised so most of the Holiday Inns, some Hiltons, Marriotts etc.  are owned management companies or small hotel groups under the global group banner.
Demands of the Banks who own some of these organisations have resulted in a growth of marketing representation companies – so to keep up to date with who’s doing what and where, we are now regularly meeting with them, as well as all the major groups.
