“…In line with that argument, previous evidence suggests that broader geographic coverage is not necessarily increasing firms' performance (Contractor et al, 2003). A number of international hotel chains develop, what could be described as 'flagship sites' in such distant markets (Aramberri, 2009). The reasons for that, so it is argued in this paper, go back to the basics of internalisation theory.…”

Second, the move in the broader international business literature away from 'global' perspectives, towards inter-country or intra-regional strategies (Rugman, 2005;Rugman et al, 2011).…”

“…Factors that seem to manifest this lack of globalisation in the hospitality industry are manifold such as regulations, most markedly visa restrictions for travellers, labour legislation, local competition intensity, high human asset specificity, cultural distance, or legal enforcement (Ayoun & Moreo, 2008;Rugman & Verbeke, 2008;Aramberri, 2009;Martorell et al, 2013).

“…All those factors are institutional in nature. The need to acknowledge institutional differences between countries has been emphasised for example by Aramberri (2009) and Littlejohn et al (2007).

In recent international hotel strategy literature, institutional differences between home and host country have been mostly neglected. Although concepts such as institutional distance have become more prevalent as analytical tools in the mainstream international business literature, not much of it has so far been adopted in the wider field of international hospitality management. The objective of this article is to propose a conceptual framework that is based on insights from new institutional economics in order to further our understanding of international strategies for hotels. It introduces the concept of institutional distance as a supplement to Yip's popular global strategy framework. This article aims at providing a template for active researchers in the field to embed their empirical contributions within the wider international business literature.
