The Hotel Consumer Protection Coalition, which is made up of over 25,000 hotels in over 100 countries, including many major brands, has filed complaints against .hoteles, as well as six of the seven [[.hotel]] applications, and the applications for [[.hoteis]] and [[.hotels]]. They support the .hotel application submitted by [[HOTEL Top-Level-Domain S.a.r.l]], and urge the [[Independent Objector]] to object to the other applications on community grounds.
