Right, so you can create a startup that contracts these hotels and sell your contacts to bedbanks like Hotelbeds I guess? I haven't been in touch with the industry since a while, so I can't give you too many specifics advice. A few years back, I remember a startup building a portfolio of Mediterranean(If I recall correctly?) hotels and end up selling the company to a bedbank for 30 Million USD. If you are not looking…

I live in Japan and want to give it a shot. Can you give me the step-by-step? Am I supposed to just contact anyone in the hotel industry with a "market manager" title on LinkedIn and tell them I can contact hotels for them?

I can't give you a step-by-step as this(collaborating with market managers) is not an actual profession that everyone does but a possibility that you can explore if you like to give it a try.

I guess you can message people from linkedIn and see how they feel about it and maybe they can give you more ideas. Maybe you can consider to get in the industry and become a market manager?
