The hotel management company added an impressive 19 properties to its management portfolio in 2021, increasing its presence in key markets across Florida, Georgia and Virginia.
After navigating the challenges brought about by the Covid crisis in 2020, McKibbon Hospitality switched its attention to expansion in 2021.
An upward trajectory
