As more travelers do business globally and explore new destinations and cultures, Marriott International wants to be there to welcome them.

Our portfolio encompasses 3,420 properties in more than 68 countries and territories and is growing, fueled by global development across a range of brands. More than a third of the 100,000 new rooms in our development pipeline are located outside of North America, including Europe where we plan to double our presence by 2015.

One of our fastest-growing markets is Asia, where we have 114 properties and another 55 in the pipeline. We expect to operate 60 hotels in China alone by year-end 2010, making it our largest market outside of North America.  >
