Σε δηλώσεις του στην Travel Daily News (5.8.2014) ο πρόεδρος και ιδρυτής της HotelBrain Πάνος Παλαιολόγος δήλωσε ότι
ο τουρισμός είναι η ραχοκοκαλιά της ανάπτυξης στην χώρα..
Mr Panos Paleologos,
President & Founder of HotelBrain on Travel Daily News
Tourism is the
‘backbone of recovery’ for Greece says HotelBrain founder
Following the economic
woes the country has faced in recent years, Greece is firmly on the up when it
comes to tourism. In-bound figures have reached record-breaking highs at an
increase of 20% and hotels welcomed the influx of arrivals by officially
extending their operating season (early April – beginning of November).
Supported by the fact
that tourism represents 18% of the Greek GDP – the room for growth, support and
sustainability has been at the forefront of the recovery strategy.
The renewed focus has
also given rise to innovate business models such as HotelBrain. Now, Greece’s
largest hotel management company, it’s paving the way for a tourism boom by supporting
and improving existing hotels, managing the branding, operating
systems/programmes with the aim of bringing exceptional customer service on
every level to every guest.
The company recently received industry
recognition for its continued effort and support within the travel industry at
the 21st World Travel Awards (held for the first time in Athens); scooping up
the prestigious travel industry equivalent to the ‘Oscar’ for the “Leading
Hotel Management Company.”
In addition three of
its managed hotels under the company's wing, were also awarded the following:
Bill & Coo Suites & Lounge, Leading Luxury All Suites Hotel Award;
Katikies Hotel, Leading Boutique Hotel Award and Kirini Suites & Spa,
Leading Boutique Spa Hotel Award.
HotelBrain Founder and
President, Panos Paleologos said: “Our ethos and philosophy is to not only to
drive the quality and experience offered by our managed hotels but also to look
at the bigger picture.”
