InterContinental Hotels & Resorts has over 180 hotels, located in more than 60 countries across the globe. In operation for over 60 years, the Intercontinental brand is one of the world’s major luxury hotel and resort brands. ==History== In 1946, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts was introduced from Pan Am's vision of mass international air travel, with the first hotel opening in Belém, Brazil to accommodate crews and passengers in destinations where upscale hotels were not yet present. The brand was thought up of by United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Juan Terry Trippe, former President of Pan American Airways. At a White House breakfast in 1945, the two men discussed their concern for Latin America’s need for development dollars. The men thought that one way to attract businessmen and tourists would be to offer luxury hotels. Trippe agreed that Pan Am, with the support of U.S. government institutions as the Export-Import Bank, could form a subsidiary to foster the implementation of the idea. On April 3, 1946, Intercontinental Hotel Corporation was legitimized. Today, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts operates globally, with 37 properties in North America, compared to 31 in Europe, 29 in the Middle East, 19 in Latin America and 51 in Asia Pacific.
