Locals Hotels are distinguished by a management and
operating philosophy focused on maximum efficiency and
flexibility and they will have a strong competitive advantage
over its national competitors (with the types of market
segments solicited)

service level and comfort. Mostly luxury hotels are using this
business model. As a rule these hotels will be owned by Hotel
Company. Such a hotel chain assumes a high level in
management decentralization.
This practice helps to create uniqueness, individuality of the
hotel and close connections with strategic partners and repeat
guests.

model allows hotel to target different target markets with
different preferences.
