A couple of years back I was told by an executive at USAirways that Gold, Plats, and Chairmans make up between 22 & 25% of ticketed domestic travel. I would guess that this is probably similar for Marriott and the other major hotel chains, especially midweek, in nonresort and nontourist areas.
1) I dont agree with your first sentence

2) On your second paragraph - each hotel receives a report each accounting period with this information....it does vary
