Most hotel groups are facing the same opportunities and challenges in the expending of global market place. Through regular visits and inspections, hotel chains can improve not only the image of their brand but the image of the countries they operate from. If a guest has a bad time and is let down during his stay at a hotel, he will associate any negative feelings with the entire chain.

Also, an inspector must be objective, neutral. He also must have some solving problem skills, sound technical knowledge, must be aware of the most hotel industry standards and regulations. He must understand which area to focus more and where not to.
