Lodging franchisor continues commitment to increasing diversity across hospitality industry
ROCKVILLE, Md., 2022-May-04 — /Travel PR News/ — Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: CHH), one of the world’s largest lodging franchisors, announced two new franchise development directors have joined the company’s emerging markets team: Jacquelyn Peterson and Marcus Thomas.
Together, Peterson and Thomas bring more than three decades of hospitality expertise to Choice, where they will help further the company’s longstanding efforts to extend hotel ownership opportunities to underrepresented populations.
“At Choice Hotels, optimizing the right brands in the right markets – and equipping our owners with the right tools to succeed in any environment – is only part of how we deliver on our commitment to fuel their profitability and success. Equally important, is efforts to enhance opportunities for minority-owned businesses,” said John Lancaster, vice president, emerging markets, franchise development and owner relations, Choice Hotels. “Since forming the industry’s first emerging markets-focused development team, Choice has awarded and financially supported more than 300 franchise agreements with under-represented minorities and seasoned entrepreneurs, including nearly 30 contracts last year alone.
