Large travel businesses like Holiday Inn owner IHG have the power to drive real change by demanding greener supply chains and making sustainability the industry standard.

The franchise model allows for rapid expansion and scalability, which is particularly helpful for a market like China, where the demand for accommodations is high.

IHG is introducing a new Holiday Inn Resort in Maharashtra, India, for 2027 and announced significant growth of their Holiday Inn Express brand in Greater China.

Holiday Inn has introduced a new open lobby concept at the 275 room Holiday Inn Dubai Business Bay, located in the United Arab Emirates. 

Air India's decision to introduce more than 400 additional weekly flights this winter is intended to meet the growing demand for air travel. The move would hopefully also help keep airfares in check.

IHG expects Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express to remain the driver of growth in the market.

At a time when India's aviation and hospitality sectors are riding high on domestic travel, IHG is positioned well to capitalize on market opportunities with its Essentials collection of brands.

From adding luxury, lifestyle, and resort brands to boosting the company's ground game in China and the U.S., Keith Barr will leave a wide-ranging legacy from his half-dozen years as CEO of IHG when he departs in June.

Under Barr, IHG shook off years of brand cobwebs and expanded its portfolio. Like Barr, Maalouf comes into the CEO role with years of brand experience that can serve him well.

IHG's new ad blitz is its biggest push for a campaign in a decade. We suspect IHG will have an easier time making itself a household name than it will in turning the word guest into a verb, as its new ads try to do.
