 Roger Bloss, President & CEO Vantage Hospitality Group |
Roger Bloss has over 40 years experience in the hospitality industry. His portfolio includes being the youngest general manager for a well-known national chain and serving in executive positions with several major franchise companies. During that time, he developed a unique perspective on the hospitality industry: give hotel owners a business model that is fair and one that works during the upswings and downturns of the economic cycle. Bloss took that vision and created Vantage's innovative Freestyle® Brand Affiliation Model, offering hoteliers a voice and a vote in the brand's direction (including setting the fees members pay to the brand); low, flat fees; short-term contracts; and no liquidated damages. Unheard of in the industry, the successful model earned Bloss Lodging Magazine's "Innovator of the Year" award in 2006. Bloss and his partners founded Cal-Vegas, Limited, (now Vantage Hospitality Group, Inc.) in 1996. They acquired their first hotel with less than $50,000 in initial capital and continued to build the company's infrastructure, resources, and programs. Confident that the membership model approach would reinvent the hospitality industry, the group launched Best Value Inn (predecessor to Americas Best Value Inn) in 1999. Vantage is now the 10th largest hotel company worldwide, and ABVI has grown to more than 900 properties and 50,000 guest rooms throughout North America and China. Industry honors include five National Chain Leadership awards and being recognized as the Fastest Growing Chain for the past five years.
