Galileo secures a major partnership with Wyndham Hotels, which has 114 million members worldwide! This is a great success for $SOFI (-4,68 %) & Galileo, extending its reach in the hospitality industry.

Wyndham is the second largest hotel chain in the world (after Jin Jiang) and the largest in North America in terms of number of hotels (although their revenue is lower than other chains).

Hello everyone,

First of all, thank you for the numerous comments and reactions to my first post here on Getquin. The whole thing has inspired me to share something with you again today that I personally like very much.

This is about the advantages for shareholders of the Minor Group and the $NHH (+0,16 %) share.

What does Minor Hotels do?

Minor Hotels is a hotel group such as $MAR (-1,49 %) or $H (-3,29 %) .

Here are a few facts:

• Over 340 hotels and 55,462 rooms worldwide
• Represented in over 30 countries (mainly Europe)
• Well-known brands such as NH Hotels and Anantara
• Strong investments in the expansion of the portfolio

Spain is currently the Group's strongest location with 84 hotels. However, the Group is also represented in Germany with currently 50 hotels.

While the majority of revenue (54%) comes from the hotel sector, a further 43% comes from the Minor Food division and 3% from the Minor Lifestyle division.

Key figures

• Market capitalization: EUR 1.99 billion

Group investments

An article published in the Minor Hotels Newsroom on April 26, 2024 describes the Group's enormous growth plans. By the end of 2026, a further 200 hotels worldwide are to be added to the Minor Hotels portfolio.

Considering that the group currently has 350 hotels, it is clear that enormous growth is planned for the coming years. Over 50 of the 200 hotels are to be built in Europe, while new hotels are also to be built in America.

Advantages for shareholders

The group presented here is part of the Minor International Group. It has a total of 546 hotels worldwide, including famous brands such as Kempinski (including the Adlon in Berlin).

All 546 hotels benefit from the GHA Discovery hotel bonus program. This gives loyal customers exclusive benefits for their stays at Minor International Hotels through a ranking system.

Here is a list of the different ranks and the services required for them:

As you can see here, enormous annual sums are sometimes required to achieve a higher level. Although it is possible to achieve the highest rank with 3 stays at different brands of the group, it should be noted here that the group mainly has luxury hotels in its portfolio.

However, for shareholders the group offers a free upgrade up to the highest membership. In the following, I will show you the advantages of the ranks and the sums that you have to invest in the share in order to achieve the respective rank for free.

Silver ( Free for all)

• Partner Benefits
• 4% cashback in the form of credit for the hotels and their activities
• Free WLAN

• Member Only activities
• Access to Member Only areas in hotels

Gold ( from 1 EUR)

• All the benefits of the previous levels
• 5% cashback in the form of credit for the hotels and their activities

Platinum ( From 2000 EUR)

• All benefits of the previous levels
• 6% cashback in the form of credit for the hotels and their activities

(AttentionBy purchasing NH shares you will initially only receive NH Discovery status. However, this entitles you to the same membership in the GHA Discovery Program. Simply write/call the support team there and this should be sorted out quickly).

I personally got the Titanium membership last month and will try it out on my next hotel visit on Thursday. If you are interested in finding out what benefits I really got and whether it all worked, please feel free to follow me. I plan to upload an update as soon as possible after my vacation :)
