Da allora, gli sforzi per preservare una solida situazione finanziaria si riflettono nell'altissima fedeltà dei suoi investitori istituzionali che, unita alla scelta strategica della compagnia di espandersi su scala internazionale, ha fatto sì che la Meliá Hotels International, con i suoi oltre 350 hotel in 35 paesi del mondo, i suoi 35.000 impiegati provenienti da quasi 100 nazioni, sia presente in Spagna (la prima compagnia alberghiera) così come in Europa, America Latina, Stati Uniti, Cina e Golfo Persico.
