Dear Investors, great news.... The investment potential in Vilamoura, Portugal, is set to be one of the most compelling opportunities over the next five years. With Vilamoura's reputation as a premier European resort destination, the region is primed for significant growth, especially in the luxury and sustainable tourism segments. The appeal of Vilamoura lies not only in its stunning landscapes, marina, golf courses, and luxury lifestyle but also in the Portuguese government's incentives for foreign investors, which add further value. However, there is a limit to this opportunity, as available premium properties and development plots are finite. The region's popularity and growing demand mean that securing investments now is key to maximizing returns. As an expert in this market, I am here to help you navigate the Vilamoura real estate landscape. I can assist in identifying the best properties and investment angles to ensure that this opportunity becomes a truly golden investment for you. Now is the time to secure your stake in one of Europe’s most promising real estate markets. Let's work together to make the most of this unique moment. Let's talk. #VilamouraInvestment #AlgarveRealEstate #PortugalProperty #LuxuryRealEstate #EuropeanInvestment

How do you keep your company culture across multiple sites? Hospitality expert and Managing Consultant Nicky dealt with this challenge recently for our client Bar Douro. - Challenge: After opening its second site, Bar Douro faced a culture disconnect between its two locations. Maintaining its vision and culture was essential.  - Solution: To realign the teams, Nicky organised a company culture day – a paid, fun-filled event to reinforce the company’s values and bring the teams together.  - Outcomes: Morale was boosted but also communication improved across both sites. It’s now a cornerstone of Bar Douro’s quarterly calendar, so all team members receive consistent messages & feel valued. 🌟 Takeaways for managers: Regular, engaging team events can be a game-changer in maintaining a consistent culture across multiple locations. Consider implementing similar strategies to keep your team aligned and motivated! #teambuilding #companyculture #leadership

Last year more than 25 million visitors travelled to Portugal and the World Travel & Tourism Council recently revealed that the tourism sector’s economic contribution is expected to exceed €54B in 2024, supporting more than one million jobs. Hilton, which has been present in Portugal since 2007, now has 25 hotels and over the past few years we’ve truly capitalised on owners’ growing appetite for our award-winning brands and rising traveller demand.      We’ve introduced several new brands, with particularly strong growth for our Curio Collection by Hilton and Tapestry by Hilton brands, including the recently opened DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton. We expect at least 11 hotels to join our Portuguese portfolio in the coming years, including the recently announced Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina, the DoubleTree by Hilton Lisbon Airport and the Santo André Beach Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton - our first property in the lesser explored Setúbal region.

A great article on the ‘Direct-First Independent Hotel Brands” The author lays out five important steps to achieving a direct-first strategy for independent hotels and resorts but left out the importance of the human factor. As necessary as it is to keep up with technology and the latest tech stacks, none of these steps are achievable or successful without the human factors. Even the finest technology cannot yield desired results without strategic leadership, vision, knowledge, and a demonstrated ability to execute. Today’s successful resorts have to have the right leadership and technology in place to maximize their returns. Are you satisfied with your resort’s share of direct business? Wonder if you could or should be getting more? Contact us, Kevin Froemming and Howard Tanenbaum at All Inclusive Resort Solutions. We will be happy to set up a call and discuss your situation and opportunities. https://lnkd.in/eDxU5aqX

Such a wonderful time spent with Choice Hotels EMEA team! When leadership fosters memorable experiences that elevate the employee journey, personal values align seamlessly with company values: Be bold, Be quick, Listen, Be Curios, Show Integrity. It starts with investing in yourself. And we all remembered that culture eats strategy for breakfast. Instead, we have enjoyed the workshop where we cooked and ate strategy for dinner. #CompanyCulture #EmployeeExperience #ValuesAlignment #LeadershipDevelopment
