What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Western's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may request on-site training, which Best Western will provide at its discretion. The cost for this training is currently $2,400 per day.
However, this fee does not include the cost of complimentary lodging, which the franchisee must also provide for the Best Western personnel conducting the training. Additionally, the franchisee is responsible for covering all travel expenses incurred by Best Western's personnel.
It is important to note that the provision of on-site training is not guaranteed and is subject to the availability of Best Western's personnel. Franchisees should factor in these potential training costs and the associated logistical considerations when budgeting for their Best Western franchise.
