Operational management of hotels owned by third parties, exclusive partners or owners.
Hotels directly owned or leased where IHG recognizes hotel operating revenue.
Asiakkaat
IHG's customers are primarily hotel owners, franchisees and development partners that use its brands, systems and operating expertise to attract guests and drive occupancy. Guest demand comes from leisure travelers, business travelers and members of IHG's loyalty ecosystem who book through digital, mobile and direct channels. The company also serves hotel owners seeking technology, reservation and distribution tools that can reduce acquisition cost and improve the stay experience.
Third-party hotel owners that pay for brand affiliation, reservations, and standards support to increase demand and operating efficiency.
Owners of hotels that IHG operates under management contracts and for which it provides operational and commercial services.
Guests booking family, resort and holiday stays across brands such as Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and InterContinental.

Repeat guests enrolled in IHG's loyalty program who book directly through app and digital channels.
Strategia
IHG's strategy centers on expanding its brand system, deepening direct digital booking, and strengthening its enterprise technology platform for hotel owners. The company is also focused on using its loyalty base and commercial engine to increase direct demand, improve conversion and support higher-value bookings across its brand portfolio.
Direct bookings improve customer relationship ownership and reduce dependence on third-party channels.
Technology services help hotel owners operate more efficiently and make IHG brands more attractive to partners.
A larger loyalty base supports repeat stays, direct demand and better conversion across brands.
System expansion increases rooms under IHG flags and extends fee-based revenue streams.
Maantiede
IHG is a multinational hotel group with a broad footprint across the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific through franchised, managed, owned and leased hotels. Its operating model depends on the location of hotel assets and guest demand rather than heavy manufacturing presence, so performance is shaped by travel flows, local hotel supply and cross-border tourism patterns. The excerpted disclosure does not provide a country revenue split, but the system-wide revenue base is diversified across major global markets.
Riskit
IHG's business is exposed to travel demand cycles, geopolitical disruption, and competition for both guests and hotel owner relationships. Because the company relies heavily on franchised and managed hotels operated by third parties, service quality, brand standards and technology adoption can affect guest satisfaction and system growth. Foreign exchange movements, seasonality, and judgment in leases, asset values and contract accounting can also affect reported results.

FX gains and losses are shown on a separate line, affecting comparability across periods.
