REIT owning large convention-hotel resorts (Gaylord brand) plus Grand Ole Opry and country-music entertainment venues.
Owns the resorts, while Marriott manages them under long-term contracts for a fee, so Ryman books the hotel revenue and bears the operating costs. Conventions are booked well in advance, giving visibility on future demand. A separate entertainment arm covers the Opry and music venues.
Moat: narrow (scale, brand, installed base). Large-format group-focused hotels are costly to replicate; Opry brand has decades of entertainment-industry equity.
