Abstract: The objective of this brief general market analysis is to determine with the VRIO framework
how the Posadas group has managed to maintain itself in the Mexican lodging market. The aim is to
understand how in the current panorama of tourism are the main challenges of the Posadas group. The
main question that generated this analysis was: Is Grupo Posadas the current leader in the hospitality
sector in Mexico? The hypothesis is that the strategies implemented by Grupo Posadas have allowed it
to remain in the lodging sector; however, the current elements are not strong enough to be the market
leader. So, combining the analysis elements of the market and the VRIO, results were obtained that
pointed to Posadas shares, the leadership with IHG Hotels which begins to generate a more marked
oligopolistic competition in the field of tourism.

Keywords: Tourism, hospitality, industry.
