Hilton owns about 250 hotels. At the time of Great Depression of USA, many
hotels were bankrupted, but he had bought all this hotels which resulted in his
success.

who listed stocks in Hotel Industry. Consequently, He improved transparency in
his hotels, which enhanced the value of hotel. Hilton hotel won its renown and
was far-famed more than before. Other hotels who saw this also listed stocks to
increase their value. As a

field, and this has improved their reputation.

Hilton improved the hotel service than before. At the time Hilton just started
his hotel business, the accommodation time and price were all different. Hilton
made the rules for the first time accommodation in time and price. Also, he
trained his employees changes sheets and pillows every time and decorated the
lobby with show windows to improve bad images of hotel such as cheap, dirty or
low—quality services
