Hyatt Corporation administers the "World of Hyatt" program, under which members earn points for eligible amounts guests spend at Hyatt Network Hotels and resorts worldwide. "Hyatt Network Hotels" are Brand Hotels and other hotels, resorts, lodging facilities and other accommodations and hospitality affiliations that we, our affiliates, or our or their franchisees or licensees periodically own and/or operate under the name "Hyatt" or another brand that any of our affiliates own, regardless of whether those brands utilize the "Hyatt" mark in their names. Other companies that provide hospitality or hospitality-related services to members, including other hotel operators, airlines and car rental companies, as well as branded hotel chains that Hyatt Corporation's affiliates own, manage or license, also participate in the World of Hyatt program. Hyatt Corporation also will provide most of the Mandatory Services and Non-Mandatory Services to Brand Hotel franchisees.
