You must provide the Hotel services described in Attachment "A" to your License and must ensure that no part of the Hotel or the Brand System is used to facilitate or promote a competing business. There are no restrictions as to the customers to whom you may sell guest rooms or other goods or services that are related to your hotel business.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Even Hotels' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are no geographic restrictions on who a franchisee may sell guest rooms or other goods or services related to the hotel business. This means an Even Hotels franchisee is not limited to a specific geographic area when selling their services. They can market and sell to customers regardless of location, as long as the goods and services are related to the hotel business.
This lack of geographic restriction provides Even Hotels franchisees with a broader potential customer base. They are not limited to the local market surrounding their hotel, which can be particularly beneficial in tourist destinations or areas with a high volume of travelers. Franchisees can target customers from anywhere, increasing their revenue potential.
However, it's important to note that while there are no geographic restrictions on sales, the FDD also states that Holiday (the licensor) and its affiliates are not restricted from establishing other licenses or company-owned outlets or other channels of distribution through which services or licenses under different trademarks might be offered. This means that Even Hotels franchisees may face competition from other hotels operating under Holiday's brands, even within their own area. Franchisees may compete with any other hotels operating under Holiday's brands in or near their area. Hotels operating under Holiday's brands (including the same brand as your Hotel) may solicit reservations from customers in your area for which you will receive no compensation.
