There are differing perspectives on why international hotel companies engage in Merger and Acquisition (M&A) activities. Some hotel executives believe that M&A helps companies grow faster by filling gaps in specific market segments, introducing new products within a shorter timeframe, expanding market share, and entering markets that organic growth alone would not allow. Meanwhile, hotel owners argue that beyond these reasons, hotel companies may also pursue M&A due to financial pressures, to eliminate competition, or as a strategic move to build a larger portfolio for future resale.

In reality, the true motives behind each M&A deal may never be fully known, but it is certain that these transactions impact the internal operations of international hotel companies as well as hotel owners and other stakeholders.
