In just two years, the supply of corporate chains worldwide grew by nearly 250,000 rooms, which is the nearly the equivalent of the chain hotel supply in a country such as France (268,368 on January 1, 2007), despite being the number-one destination worldwide in terms of number of visitors.
- InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) affirmed its position on MKG's ranking for the fourth consecutive year as the world leader of the hotel industry. With growth in its offer of more than 18,000 rooms, the group has increased its lead over its immediate competitors.
- According to the MKG report Asia posted the most growth in the corporate hotel chain supply in terms of both growth rate (+10.5%) and volume (around 60,000 additional rooms) in 2006. The penetration rate of chains in the Asian zone is just 15%, and the race to Asia, already well on its way, shall continue. China and India are the priority targets. These countries present many vast agglomerations with large pools of customers. China in particular attracts large international hotel groups. The country also sees the consolidation of major hotel groups whose development accompanies the growth of the domestic economy such as Jin Jiang or Home Inns.
