The italian market of budget hotels
The penetration of budget hotel chains is still contained in Italy also due to the wide spread of small independent hotels, often family-run. In my opinion, there is a high potential for the budget chains in Italy and the fast increasing of B&B, holiday homes and atypical accommodation is symptomatic of a strong interest and a need for many customers, looking for services with a good quality (no frills). HTMG (Hotel & Tourism Management Group) has been running a network of budget accommodation (B&B, little hotels, Guest houses and so on) for two-year, and I was able to verify the high degree of preference by many tourists.
