We would also attentively monitor the American Hilton Group which was created by Conrad Hilton at the beginning of the 20th Century.

Following our detailed presentation of the various major competitors of the Marriott Group we will now look at this group’s partners with two detailed examples of recent strategic alliances Marriott has implemented:
Firstly, in 2019, the group signed a partnership agreement with Expedia that accorded wholesale prices and the availability of its hotels. In fact, following this agreement the giant hotelier announced the implementation of a previous agreement with Expedia whereby Expedia Partner Solutions would become the unique entry portal for the wholesalers that wished to be eligible for preferential tariffs and use of the Marriott facilities on a global level. For Marriott, this agreement enabled it to resolve certain supply and distribution problems as the optimised distribution and supply model provided by Expedia Partner Solutions, the B2B branch of the Expedia Group, eliminated the complexity and inefficacy of the current wholesale supply model of the Marriott hotels.
More recently, in 2021 to be precise the Marriott Group announced it had doubled its portfolio of ‘all inclusive’ type establishments through its association with the Sunwing Group. Therefore between the time of its association through to mid-2021, 19 franchised establishments which represent 7,000 rooms in 6 destinations will come under Marriott’s Autograph Collection brand. Between now and 2025, the objective is to raise this to 33 establishments.
The Marriott Group owns and operates various hotel and resort brand names including the following: Marriott Hotels & Resorts, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Renaissance Hotels & Resorts, AC Hotels by Marriott, Courtyard by Marriott, Residence Inn by Marriott, Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Marriott Conference Centres, TownPlace Suites by Marriott, SpringHill Suites by Marriott, Marriott Vacation Club International, Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club, The Ritz Carlton Hotel Company, The Ritz Carlton Club, Marriott Execustay, Marriott Executive Apartments, Marriott Grand Residence Club, Bulgari Hotels & Resorts, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, and Le Méridien.
