Didn’t I mention that?

Anyway, I made an edit to the original post to clarify.
p.s. US-properties-heavy chains do not even manage(i.e. operate) of most of properties that carry their brands. Hotel management agreement/contract is a separate, optional contract with franchise agreement. If hotel owner is confident to run his hotel by himself, owner usually chose not to do the management contract.
