Hospitality

The global hospitality market is seeing a rapid transformation leading to a leveling of the playing field across geographies.  As the industry matures in the Western world, competitive pressures have created a diversity of brands and experiences within, and have motivated domestic operators and investors to spread their wings well beyond their own borders.  Emerging markets such as India, China and the Middle East are becoming the new center of gravity.  Fueled by rapid economic growth and solid performance, leading hotel companies in these regions are aggressively establishing a presence in developed nations through acquisitions and new developments.

Galileo’s hospitality practice focuses on assisting operators and investors gain a strategic advantage in this flattening world.  An important element of our advisory services is the bridging of cultural and communication divides that typically exist in cross-border situations.  We have extensive relationships with leading hotel companies and real-estate investors globally and a solid understanding of the hospitality markets, which we are able to leverage effectively for the benefit of our clients.
