Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) is the world's largest alliance of hotel brands.[1] Based on the airline alliance model, it was founded in 2004 by four hotel chains, Kempinski, Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts, Rydges Hotels & Resorts, and Wyndham International.[2][3] GHA is privately held with the following shareholders: Kempinski Hotels, Pan Pacific Hotels Group, Minor Hotel Group, Corinthia Hotel Group, ASMALLWORLD, and Oracle.[4] The alliance now encompasses more than 800 upscale and luxury hotels, across 40 brands in 100 countries.[4] GHA uses a shared technology platform for its member brands, and operates a multi-brand loyalty programme, GHA DISCOVERY, which has over 21 million members, as of June 2022.[4]
Through membership in GHA, brands expand their global reach, drive incremental revenue, and reduce dependence on third-party channels, all while maintaining management independence and individual positioning. The award-winning GHA DISCOVERY programme generates approximately $2 billion in revenue and more than eight million room nights annually.[4]
