NY Web Shop Takes Unique Approach to Acquisitions
May 21 1998 12:00 AM PDT

 PROFILE
Western hospitality is spreading. Begun in 1946 by hotelier M. K. Guertin and named for its California origins, Best Western now has more than 4,000 independently owned and operated hotels (2,300-plus in the US alone) sporting its flag in 85 countries. Best Western is organized as a not-for-profit membership association with most of its sales coming from monthly fees and annual dues. It often has focused on internal issues and conflicts to the detriment of its position in the marketplace. Best Western is boosting advertising and adding upscale accommodations in non-US markets to increase its competitiveness.
