The main objective of this paper is to examine the key dominants of financial distress for Korean hospitality companies and publicly traded U.S. hospitality companies during economic downturns with SVM-NN-DT stacking model. The model for Korean data revealed that Korean firms should control debt ratio more tightly than US companies. If Korean companies did not meet the first standard of debt ratio(0.747), they should ensure their operating cash flow in addition to the profitability and activity of the firms to avoid financial distress. The stacking model for US data found that US hospitality firms, which met with relatively lower debt ratio hurdle(2.4215), should assure the certain growth level of net income. If the US companies exceeded a relatively higher debt ratio standard(3.5167), they should secure certain growth level of owners’ equity and guarantee the operating cash flow to total liabilities over 22.5% to prevent financial distress.
