Мировой опыт организации гостиничного бизнеса показывает, что сетевое объединение позволяет достичь наиболее высоких показателей заполняемости отелей и максимальных финансовых результатов. Эти факторы и предопределили основную тенденцию развития российского бизнеса в последние 2-3 года: активное освоение рынка ведущими международными сетевыми игроками и создание национальных гостиничных сетей.
По прогнозам EY, к 2020 г. количество гостиниц в РФ под иностранным брендом увеличится почти вдвое - до 270, и они будут расположены в 54 городах.
Один из наиболее активных зарубежных игроков на рынке России - компания REZIDOR SAS HOSPITALITY (брэнды Radisson (5*) и ParkInn (3-4*), владеющая 6 отелями в Москве, Санкт-Петербурге, Сочи и Екатеринбурге.
Довольно прочно в России обосновалась компания Mariott International (США). В настоящее время компания объединяет более 2700 отелей, размещенных по всему миру, в том числе 6 объектов в Москве, Петербурге и Самаре.
Еще один брэнд в гостиничном бизнесе - Kempinski. Под этой маркой сегодня работают два отеля - в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге.
После 2000 года в России также стали появляться национальные гостиничные сети. И хотя это явление сегодня еще не стало массовым, уже можно говорить о серьезных успехах отдельных операторов.
Одна из наиболее динамично развивающихся гостиничных сетей «российского производства» - «Heliopark Hotel & Resorts», принадлежащая компании «Heliopark Group». На сегодняшний день в ее структуру входят 14 отелей в России. Компания развивает свой бизнес в трех направлениях: бизнес-отели, клубные и курортные.
Сеть «AMAKS Grand Hotels», основанная в 2004 году, сегодня объединяет 15 гостинично-развлекательных комплексов, расположенных в российских регионах. Среди приоритетов компании - создание и эффективное развитие национального гостиничного брэнда, ориентированного на массового потребителя.
