It also mentions
"IHG� is one of the world’s leading hotel
companies, with a diverse portfolio of 16 hotel
brands operating in more than 100 countries. As
an asset-light business, we focus on franchising
and managing hotels, working closely with
independent third-party hotel owners. Having
a predominantly franchised estate means that
most of the people working in IHG-branded
hotels are employed by third-party hotel
owners, rather than by IHG directly.
We also have some areas where we have
outsourcing arrangements in place. For
example, at the corporate level, we outsource
some of our call centres and technology
support services, as well as some cleaning/
facilities and management/catering at some of
our corporate locations."
