Minor Hotels, in collaboration with Skift, has launched a powerful new trend report: “Asset Right: Rethinking the Balance Between Asset-Light and Heavy Strategies.” The report explores the future of hotel asset management, offering actionable insights for hospitality leaders navigating today’s dynamic market.
The report, drawing on research and insight from both Minor Hotels and Skift, examines the benefits and limitations of traditional asset-light and asset-heavy models and introduces a hybrid approach—"asset right"—as the optimal strategy for balancing operational control, brand integrity, and scalability.
Minor Hotels has long distinguished itself by pursuing an asset right strategy, with almost 70% of its current global portfolio of over 560 properties being owned or leased. As the group looks to accelerate its growth in strategic markets, with a target of 750 hotels by the end of 2026, this approach continues to guide sustainable growth in strategic markets.
We’re pleased to collaborate with Skift on this study, which underscores Minor Hotels’ commitment to strategic innovation and sustainable growth. Our asset-right strategy aligns with our core business philosophy of achieving long-term success through a balanced approach. By maintaining operational control in key areas while leveraging flexible models for expansion, we are able to drive agility, scalability, and value creation across our portfolio.Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of Minor International
