I'm sure someone here with some education in economics has an answer, but...I don't get it. Chain hotels are taking over. Robot tourists are going to the same hotel in every city, eating at Red Lobsters and Marie Callendar's (where they eat at home), gambling (it's in almost every city now) or going to the mall (that has the same stores as the mall at home) for entertainment. It's like an epidemic - Stepford, USA. Scary, huh? Economically, chains have an advantage over mom and pop motels and independent hotels as long as people stay there.
