Ua wehewehe ʻo Hammons ma kāna mau ʻōlelo ponoʻī, ʻelua mau manawa koʻikoʻi o kona ola:

Ka Manawa Manawa No. 1: “I ka makahiki 1969, ua alakaʻi koʻu ʻuhane ʻoihana iaʻu e hoʻomaka i kaʻu hui ponoʻī, ʻo John Q. Hammons Hotels. ʻOiai ua kōkua ʻo Holiday Inn iaʻu e lilo i mea kūleʻa nui, ua hoʻololi au i nā mea hana ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i nā hōkele hoʻokele waiwai e piʻi aʻe ana kekahi i kekahi. Pono mākou e loea, no laila ua kālele mākou i ka mākeke kiʻekiʻe, ʻo ke kūkulu ʻana i ka Embassy Suites a me nā hōkele ʻo Marriott me nā hale hālāwai. Ua hoʻoholo mākou e kūkulu i nā hōkele maikaʻi ma mua o ka manaʻo o ka mea kūʻai aku. ʻAʻole like kekahi o kā mākou mau hōkele a hoʻohana mākou i nā atrium, nā hiʻohiʻona wai a me nā kiʻi kūloko e hana i ke kanaka. Hoʻoikaika pū mākou e ʻoi aku i nā kūlana brand i kēlā me kēia hōkele, e like me ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā alaloa i ʻehiku kapuaʻi a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana pod check-in. Inā kūkulu pololei ʻoe, e ʻimi pololei a hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai aku i kā lākou makemake, e kūʻai lākou. ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e kūʻai aku ai ʻo ka ʻae ʻana i kekahi e kūʻai.

Ka Manawa Manawa No. 2: “Ma hope o ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka hōkele ʻo 9/11 ua kū koke. Ua makaʻu loa nā ʻoihana e neʻe i mua. ʻOiai ua paʻa nā mea a pau, ua hele mua mākou. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi o ka hoʻomau ʻana i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā hōkele ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o nā lako a me nā hana. Ua ʻike mākou e piʻi hou ka ʻoihana a hoʻomaka ka poʻe e hele hou aku. Pono kā mākou mau hōkele e hoʻokipa iā lākou. Ua kūkulu a wehe mākou i 16 mau hōkele mai ka lā 9/11, a ua kūpono kēlā hoʻoholo. I kēia mau lā, ua hoʻopau ke kumukūʻai o ka sima a me ke kila, e hoʻonui ana i ka 25%. Ma ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hōkele i ka manawa maopopo ʻole, ua mālama kā mākou hui i US $ 80 miliona. ʻAʻohe mea e hana ai ka hoʻokele waiwai, ʻaʻole pili i nā kūlana, e holomua i mua.

Ua hana au i kaʻu ʻoihana lōʻihi e ʻimi i nā mākeke a hoʻomohala i nā hōkele maikaʻi. Mai ka makahiki 1958, ua kūkulu mākou i 200 mau hōkele mai ka honua mai. Ma ke ala, ʻaʻole mākou i poina e hāʻawi i nā kūlanakauhale e kōkua iā mākou e kūleʻa. Ua aʻo pū mākou he pono ʻoe e makaʻu ʻole e kūleʻa.

ʻO ka ʻōlelo aʻo helu ʻekahi a Hammons "ʻaʻole ʻoe e kūkulu me ka ʻole o ka mākeke… ʻōlelo kēlā me kēia 'wahi, wahi, wahi'. Akā ʻaʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo. It's market, market, market. ʻO kaʻu mea e hana ai, ʻo ia ke hele a puni (ka ʻāina) a ʻimi i kēlā mau nooks a me nā crannies kahi i hopu ai ka ʻoihana i kahi wahi a hele i ka hana. ʻAʻole i kūkulu ʻia ʻo Hammons ma nā wahi mua. Ua koho ʻo ia i nā mākeke kula kiʻekiʻe a me ke kula kiʻekiʻe kahi i loaʻa i nā hui nui nā keʻena kūloko a i ʻole nā hale hana a me nā kūlanakauhale kulanui a me nā poʻo mokuʻāina. I ka manawa i kau aku ai ʻo Hammons a me kona hope pelekikena kiʻekiʻe ʻo Scott Tarwater i ka mokulele kūʻokoʻa o Hammons, e ʻimi ana lākou i ka hui ʻana o nā alaloa waena, nā kikowaena kaʻaahi, nā alahao, nā kulanui a me nā poʻo mokuʻāina. ʻAʻole pono lākou i waena o ka hana e kū nei; ʻoiaʻiʻo, makemake lākou e noho ma kahi paʻa a me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻia. E hoʻolohe i ka hoʻolālā Hammons: "Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i ka (nui) o ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana, ua hoʻoholo wau e hele i nā kulanui a me nā moku'āina, a inā hiki iaʻu ke loaʻa ʻelua, (e like me) Madison, Wisconsin a i ʻole Lincoln, Nebraska, loaʻa iā ʻoe. he homerun. No ka mea, i ka wā e hiki mai ai ka ho'ēmi kālā, hele mau ka poʻe i ke kula a loaʻa mau ka uku o nā limahana aupuni. Ma hope o 9/11, ua nui nā mea pāʻani nui i loaʻa nā hōkele nui ma nā mokulele nui a me nā kikowaena kūlanakauhale. He kōkua ʻole lākou. (ʻOiai) aia mākou ma ʻaneʻi i nā kulanui a me nā kūlanakauhale nui a me nā kaiāulu mahiʻai / mahiʻai ikaika.

ʻAʻole i manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo Hammons i nā haʻawina kūpono a nā ʻaoʻao ʻekolu. I kona hoʻomaka ʻana i kāna hana hoʻomohala, hele ʻo Hammons i nā kūlanakauhale e hana i kāna ʻano o ka noiʻi kūpono. ʻO ke ʻano o ke kamaʻilio ʻana me ka bellman, nā kaʻa kaʻa, nā poʻe ʻoihana āpau āpau. Ua hilinaʻi ʻo ia i kāna hoʻoholo ponoʻī a me nā manaʻo o kāna mau luna kiʻekiʻe. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mayor Susan Narvais o San Marcos, Texas "E ʻōlelo ka hapa nui o nā kūlanakauhale, "E lawe mai iaʻu i kāu noiʻi kūpono.' Akā ʻo Mr. Hammons kahi haʻawina hiki ke hele. Ke hilinaʻi nei ʻoe i kāna hoʻoholo ʻana ma ka nānā ʻana i kāna moʻolelo ola a me nā hoʻomaikaʻi i loaʻa iā ia. " Hāʻawi ʻo Hammons i kēia ʻano hoʻohālikelike: "Loaʻa iā Mackinac Island ka The Grand. Aia i Colorado Springs ka Broadmoor. Ua ʻike au e lilo ana ka ʻāina loko Branson i mea.

Ua pololei anei ʻo Hammons? E noʻonoʻo wale i kēia mau mea:

Aia i loko o ka puʻuwai o nā mauna ʻo Ozark ma kahakai o Lake Taneycomo, ʻo Branson kahi wahi mākaʻikaʻi kaulana, kaulana no ka nui o nā hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni mele ola, nā kalapu a me nā wahi leʻaleʻa ʻē aʻe, a me kona kaona kaulana a me ka nani maoli a puni.

Poina iā Las Vegas a me ka moku keaka o New York. ʻEka no ka ʻeka, ʻo Branson ke kikowaena hoʻokipa ola o ka lāhui.
ʻO Branson he $1.7 biliona māka mākaʻikaʻi, ʻo ia ka helu ʻekahi huakaʻi kaʻa kaʻa ma US

ʻO ka hōkele maikaʻi loa ma Branson ʻo Hammon's Chateau ma ka Lake Resort Spa & Convention Center, kahi hōkele 4-hōkū, 301 lumi lumi me kahi lāʻau he 46 kapuaʻi, $85,000 ma kona atrium.

Ua kūkulu ʻo Hammons i kahi hōkele ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka manaʻo o ke kaiāulu a ma mua o ka pono o ka hui franchise. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, “Ua ola mau au no ka mea ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au i ka maikaʻi. Ma kēlā ʻaha kūkā o ka luna i haʻi aku ai au i ko mākou poʻe i manaʻo wau e noho i ka ʻoihana kiʻekiʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ua haʻi wau iā lākou e hoʻokomo wau i kahi hālāwai ma nā hōkele.

Even though Holiday Inn helped me become a great success, I switched gears after seeing economy hotels popping up next to each other.
