In this discussion board, we will discuss the expansion plans of hotel chains in your chosen countries.In your post, please consider:

1. What major chains are present in your country of choice and how many properties does each have?
   
   
2. Choose one chain and discuss its expansion plans within the country.  Be sure to include how this is being accomplished (new builds, mergers, acquisitions).
   
   
3. Discuss how classifications and standards are determined in the country for independent hotels.  Are they determined by the government?  A private agency?  By the hoteliers themselves?

It is anticipated that your initial post will be 500 words in length (one page, single spaced) and reference a minimum of 3 cited sources.
