What exactly is "Brand Keeping"?

It's a strategic initiative to protect and enhance a hotel's brand value through cleaning quality, re-evaluating on-site quality control, education, and operations.

Why is it necessary to redefine the value of hotel cleaning now?

Cleaning is often seen as a cost, but room cleanliness directly impacts guest experience and hotel reputation, necessitating a re-recognition of its essential value.

How will this initiative affect cleaning staff?

It aims to create a society where cleaning staff's work is properly recognized as a 'specialized profession supporting the brand,' allowing them to work with pride.

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day for announcing dreams. This press release is the dream of "MM International Co., Ltd."

MM International Co., Ltd. announces its participation in "April Dream," organized by PR TIMES, on April 1, 2026, declaring its dream to redefine the value of hotel cleaning as the future it wishes to realize. Our dream is for hotel cleaning to be recognized by society not merely as a task, but as "Brand Keeping" – a job that protects and further enhances a hotel's brand.

Currently, hotel cleaning is often perceived as a "cost" or "part of operations," and its intrinsic value is not fully understood. However, in reality, the cleanliness and quality of room finishes significantly influence guest satisfaction, directly impacting a hotel's reputation and brand value. We believe that cleaning quality is what builds a hotel's reputation, and that reputation, in turn, leads to attracting guests.

Introducing the new concept of "Brand Keeping" to society

Therefore, we will position hotel cleaning not as a mere operation, but as a "strategic initiative to maintain and enhance the brand," continuously visualizing its value through all aspects of on-site quality control, education, and operations. And in the future, we aim to realize a society where the work of everyone involved in hotel cleaning is fairly evaluated, allowing them to take pride in their profession as "specialists who support the brand."

If cleaning changes, the value of the hotel changes. That value will change the future of hotels.

We will continue to evolve the way hotel cleaning is done and spread the new concept of "Brand Keeping" throughout society.
