In these challenging times, We stand with you
In this unprecedented times of Covid-19 pandemic and market crisis, the hardest-hit industry is hospitality and tourism. Independent, stand-alone hotel brands are the first ones to experience these bad weather conditions, and are facing the challenges beyond the business recovery road map.
Besides the economic downturn and reduced spending that comes with it, which are the key short-term challenges; one of the biggest long-term challenges is to carefully analyze and innovatively act on the new consumer behaviours, consumption patterns, changed perceptions, increased expectations and emerging trends.
Hotels, especially the independent boutique resorts struggle to manage price wars, occupancy drops and pressures to reduce rates. Many hoteliers react to these challenges by dramatic rate cuts. This not just impacts businesses adversely it also affects quality of guest experiences in the long run.
Low occupancy rates are going to be challenging for boutique hotel owners in the initial recovery phase. But the focus needs to be diverted from a panicked to a positive approach.
That’s where we come in.
Who We Are
For many, the term hotel consultant still conjures up an image of a self-proclaimed expert who can make great presentations, generate recommendations and leave you to do the hard work of implementation.
In our view, it’s time to redefine the term consultant, and it’s time to move from traditional consulting to a more accountable, performance-oriented, execution role. We believe in leading by example. We would describe ourselves as business growth catalysts, hands-on professionals who don’t just advise on what needs to be done, but help you get it done, as well as provide training on what needs to be done.

Revenue Management
Selling out and filling up your hotel is the ultimate goal, right? Once every room is filled, you’ve done your job and are making money. But are you leaving money on the table? Think again..
Are you making as much revenue as you could be? Or should be? Probably not if your hotel is sold out months, weeks or even just days ahead. Though it may seem counterintuitive, but it’s reality. It is human nature and the easy choice to take the money and sell out early, but you are leaving money on the table.
