Today more than ever before, a strong franchise affiliation is essential for success in the competitive hotel market. It's not surprising, then, that hotel franchise fees represent the second-largest operating expense -- after payroll -- for most hotels, according to a recent study by Mineola, N.Y.-based HVS International.
