Consulting

Due Diligence, Analysis and Support

We support you in preparing takeovers and holdings of companies. Many times perspectives and potentials of a company are being evaluated too ambitiously, thus getting takeovers and participations into trouble rather quickly.
Our long-time experience and knowledge will prevent such misjudgements and unprofitable investments for you.

Feasibility Studies and Project Analysis, Project Management, Project Development and -Control

You are planning an expansion of business areas or wish to develop new source markets. The needed project work however commits quite a number of employees and resources in your company. Together with you we analyse the effort involved and the benefit of such projects in the shortest possible time.
We navigate your project work purposefully and promptly and guarantee a result-oriented approach while making the best possible use of your resources.

PR and Communication Strategies

Tourism markets are highly competitive and your company is a successful player. However, there seems to be a lack of appropriate recognition in the trade press, by trade associations and by competitors. It is difficult to find young and dedicated employees. We will make sure that your company will be perceived as successful and important in no time.
The interest in your company will grow in your trade and your entrepreneurial success will be recognized.

You want to include new destinations into your program or would like to improve your hotel portfolio and the support of your destination management company (DMC).
We will assist you in developing a fitting program and ensure the necessary hotel contracts at the best conditions possible. We will secure the necessary flight capacities and will choose a qualified and reliable destination company.

Recruiting

Recruitment / Employee Selection

You wish to fill an important position in your company and are looking for the right person.
We will support you in generating profiles for candidates. We know the industry from the inside out and just know which person(s) would be the right fit for your company.
We will select those candidates for you, which best fulfil the criteria. We assist in the search and screen applications with you.

Human Resource Development

You wish to select personnel from your existing staff for a new department (product, sales, marketing, purchasing) because it is too risky to entice costly employees away from other companies and add on to your staff.
We facilitate the selection process and the appraisals with regard to the new tasks. We accompany, train and guide your employees in their new positions.
We guarantee the transfer of know-how and experience and allocate with you the time and effort necessary.

Networking

Contact making / Door opening

You lack a crucial contact in your industry, which is decisive for sustained success. For whatever reason meetings are being denied or you are not being perceived as an interesting business partner.
We can open doors for you and provide the appropriate behavioural recommendations. Convince us of your intentions and you will receive the contact and the access that you need.

Search for Employment

You are young and successful in your position. Unfortunately nobody really knows about it besides your boss. And he does not communicate that fact because he is afraid that he might lose you. You yourself do not seem to have a network in place in order to draw the attention of other companies. However, the majority of gratifying jobs in tourism are being filled through personal recommendations.
We are acquainted with almost all of the successful companies in tourism. Our recommendations are valued and we know who is looking for skilled employees. We make your name known and can usher in a job interview with the decision-makers of companies.
We have very close connections to interim-management agents, we provide interesting contacts for self-employed managers and we help to find new challenges.

Development

Market analysis / strategies and concepts for expansion

You are looking for new source markets for your products or wish to expand your product portfolio for new customer segments.
We are familiar with market potentials in almost all European countries, having worked on a number of research projects and having put numerous projects into practice. Particularly extensive experience we have gained in Central Europe, Russia and the CIS countries and here we have a strong working knowledge of the markets connected with an excellent network. Customer segments and markets will be analysed according to your requirements. We will share our experience obtained from the successful realization of our own projects. In close cooperation with you we develop marketable ideas and business plans.

Evaluation of Locations

You are planning to buy or build a hotel in a specific location or region. We will provide you with an independent and in-depth evaluation of the location.
All fixed and variable factors will be taken into consideration. We will compile a realistic assessment of the short-term, long-term, as well as sustained customer potentials.

Set-up of Sales Organizations

Your business model (tour operator, hotel, airline) is excellent, but you are not satisfied with sales results. Numbers could be better and that aim should be targeted by sales staff.
Whether you are planning to set-up a sales team in new markets (foreign countries) or in existing markets – we will help you along the way with preparation and implementation. Based on market analysis and our own experience we will assist you in determining the profile and number of staff needed. The required "hardware" for that organization will be planned as well. Of course, a cost-benefit analysis is always at the centre of our advice.
