An independent hotel typically faces more challenges than conventional tourist accommodations. To a large extent, this is due to the fact that they are not affiliated with hotel chains or franchises. As a result, these establishments often operate with more limited financial resources. This makes it difficult to invest in the technology, marketing, and infrastructure improvements needed to remain competitive.
