New business models in the RCI Ventures spotlight

The latest issue – Q3/Q4 2016 – of the RCI Ventures business magazine serving the EMEAI region is now available.

Nobody in business should stand still and the shared-holiday ownership sector of the hospitality industry certainly isn’t letting the proverbial grass grow under its feet. The latest issue of RCI Ventures investigates the diversity of the leisure real estate market and brings the experience and insight of several high-profile resort property developers to the table to share the innovation that drives their product evolution, ensuring a high performance in terms of ROI.

Several key factors that impact and influence consumer behaviours and trends also come under the spotlight, from the ‘must have’ on-resort spa and wellness amenities, and the opening of new air routes, to the threat of terrorist activity. While a number of key industry influencers share their wisdom in these pages.

Hospitality heavyweight, Dr Dionisio Pestana of the Pestana Group, gives readers the inside information on his group’s collaboration with the superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, and the launch of their new CR7 brand; ARDA President Howard Nusbaum gives a ‘state of the nation’ interview; and Joao Spinola, a pioneer of guest relations with 50 years in the business, talks about how he works to ensure guests at Pestana Vacation Club’s Madeira Beach Club have the best experience and leave as brand ambassadors.

RCI Ventures creates a virtual community and a trusted platform where all involved in the hospitality industry can go to learn, question and be inspired.
