The value of relationships in the travel industry has been evident in the two projects I have worked on recently, both stemming from past connections. 1. The first project involved financing the Travel Club accounts receivables for Grupo Lomas’s numerous Mexican hotels, collaborating with the GL team at Karisma, with whom I have worked for over eight years. 2. The second project was with the owners of VKO, which was acquired by TUI and merged into TUI Russia. I have known them personally for 17 years. This project involved assisting the owners of iTravex, a company formed by Ellada Peskova and Kirill Peskov eight years ago from another venture, Nexio Hotels, by preparing financial models and presentations for funds under leasing and management options. These projects have been thoroughly enjoyable, and while the Nexio project is still ongoing, they highlight the importance of long-term relationships. When embarking on new ventures, trust is crucial, especially in owner-managed businesses. In today's world, I can operate from Fort Lauderdale while consulting with clients in Spain and Mexico, showcasing the wonders of technology—though I acknowledge we all have our frustrations with it at times. Another significant advantage is my ability to bypass the red tape often associated with larger consulting firms, providing direct and candid opinions that business owners, CEOs, COOs, and Chairmen often seek. If you are considering a new project and need a consultant, my extensive international experience spans both large companies and owner-managed businesses. Recommendations from my peers, who are highly successful in their fields, further underscore this. As you think about your next steps, consider these questions: - How do we gain a fresh perspective? - How do we avoid the same old reports from advisors? - What’s the risk in trying something new? Working with smaller firms that possess a wealth of knowledge in the tourism industry can offer numerous advantages. If this resonates with you, please reach out, and let's discuss how I can assist with your needs.
